Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1031382 48RE TapShifter with Valve Body gives Dodge owners complete control over gear selection while maintaining factory transmission safety logic. Designed for 2003–2007 Dodge trucks equipped with the 48RE automatic transmission, this system allows manual upshift and downshift using a convenient push-button TapShifter, eliminating unwanted gear hunting and improving towing, engine braking, and overall drivability.
This complete kit includes a BD-engineered valve body calibrated specifically for TapShifter operation. The transmission will only shift when commanded by the driver, but BD Diesel’s built-in safeguards prevent over-revving and downshifting at unsafe speeds. Ideal for towing, performance driving, or drivers who want precise control without sacrificing transmission protection.
