&quot;ETHEN S&quot;...what's this? New truck so a new name to go with it? ETH...ENS?

Re:48RE orderable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

So, that's it.
I guess if you change your name, it changes on all your previous posts as well.

Learn something new everyday.

Sure would be nice to know what a 48RE is before someone has to order it. :o :o<br><br>6SpeedBob

I don't know what the heck happened with my name ??? My 11 year old brother &quot;Ethen&quot; was messing with the computer when I left work last night. I'm gonna ring his neck &gt;:(

Re:48RE orderable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I did not know about this until 5:30 pm central time last night. I was specking out a truck for a local farmer and I noticed the word 48RE on the screen where you select the drivtrain. I had to do a double take because I had looked earlier that morning and nothing was there. It is strange though, you can get the 48re with the SO or you can still get the 47re according to my computer. It could just be a computer glitch though. Also for those who care the 48re is the only auto it shows for the V-10 ::) ???

Re:48RE orderable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi Luke,

Can you order the Jake Brake with that transmisison?

Re:48RE orderable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Knowing them probably about 6 months after they hit the lot [laugh]Hell, I figure it's gotta be better than the 47re so I just said what the heck and ordered one. I really wanted the feel of 555ft-lbs. under my right foot too. [laugh] 8)I got a nice pretty 03 S.O. if anybodies lookin 8)

Re:48RE orderable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ken, not from the factory. But my sources say through the grapevine the 48re is Jake brake compatible, who knows ???First I gotta get some darn Jake brakes. I got 5 of em ordered for guy's with hand shakers and they have been back ordered :'( :'( :'(

From Shade Tree Mechanic web site<br>TRANSMISSIONS<br>48RE FOUR-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION<br>The 48RE automatic transmission will be optional on 2500 and 3500 series with both <br>Cummins diesel engines and with the 8.0-liter gasoline engine beginning in January 2003. It is a beefed up version of the 47RE automatic transmission, which it replaces. Extensive internal modifications give it the torque capacity and durability required to work with the redesigned High Output Cummins diesel engine. This is the first automatic transmission available with the High Output engine. The internal modifications also give the transmission a design life of 150,000 customer-equivalent miles. Contributing to the durability and long life is electronic torque management - limiting engine torque build up when initiating acceleration from a stop. The 48RE transmission retains all the features of the 47RE, including the electronically controlled governor, and the same gear ratios.<br>For states that require vehicles to meet the California Emission Standards, the Cummins Turbo Diesel exhaust system includes a single underfloor catalytic converter. For those states which do not require vehicle to meet this standard the converter is replaced by an exhaust resonator.<br><br><br>
