Based on the model dsignation, the 48re is supposed to be able to handle 100lb-ft more than the 47re. (48re=4speeds, 800lb-ft capacity, Rear wheel drive, Electronically controlled.
With a bombed CTD, odds are that it's just delaying the inevitable-- a trip to the tranny shop.
It's probably better in ever regard than the 47re, but STILL not strong enough for a CTD bombed more than just the smallest amount.
