Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1600115 Billet Input Shaft is engineered to eliminate one of the most common failure points in Dodge 5.9L Cummins automatic transmissions. Factory input shafts in the 47RE, 47RH, and 48RE transmissions are prone to twisting or snapping under heavy towing, aggressive driving, or increased power levels. BD Diesel’s billet input shaft is designed to handle significantly higher torque loads and deliver long-term reliability.
Precision-machined from high-strength billet material, this input shaft provides superior torsional strength compared to stock units. It is an essential upgrade for performance builds, heavy towing applications, or any Cummins owner looking to bulletproof their automatic transmission against costly internal failure.

FAQ
Why upgrade to a billet input shaft?
Stock input shafts can twist or fail under high torque. A billet shaft dramatically increases strength and reliability, especially for towing or performance applications.
Is this required for stock trucks?
It is not required for stock power levels, but it is strongly recommended for trucks that tow heavy, run tuning, or have upgraded turbo and fueling components.
Should this be installed by a professional?
Yes. This component requires full transmission disassembly and should be installed by an experienced transmission builder.
