Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1062012 Build-It 48RE Transmission Kit is a Stage 2 intermediate rebuild kit designed for the seasoned builder working on 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins trucks equipped with the 48RE automatic transmission. This kit includes the frictions, steels, gaskets, and components needed to perform a more comprehensive rebuild than a basic overhaul, giving you improved durability and reliability for stock to moderately enhanced engines.
Engineered around the same parts BD Diesel uses in performance transmission assemblies, the Stage 2 kit provides enhanced internal components — including high-temp frictions, billet band anchor, premium steels, and a complete set of gaskets and seals. Ideal for builders looking to refresh a 48RE transmission with better clutch capacity and sealing integrity, this intermediate kit helps extend service life and tackle common wear items during teardown.

FAQ
What is the difference between Stage 2 and Stage 1 rebuild kits?
A Stage 2 intermediate kit like this includes more robust internal components, including higher-temp frictions and premium steels, compared with the basic Stage 1 stock HP kit — providing better clutch holding and longevity in moderate performance applications.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Transmission rebuild kits are best installed by experienced builders to ensure proper clearances, correct assembly, and maximum long-term performance.
Will this kit support towing duty?
For moderate towing and daily duty, this kit provides solid internal improvements. For severe towing or higher power levels, consider Stage 3 or Stage 4 kits.
