DC's reply to '05 48RE OD Lockout
--------------------------------------------------------
Here's is DC's reply to my email about the '05 48RE:
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
Thank you for your email to DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation concerning your 2005 Dodge Ram SLT 2500 Quad Cab pickup truck.
Unfortunately DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation currently has no plans to retrofit 2005 48RE transmissions with the overdrive lockout feature.
Thank you again for your email.
Sincerely,
William
Senior Staff Representative

As you can see, DC is not going to fix this one unless real pressure is put on them. I'd pay to have it done.

Yea thats my budies complaint with his 05 when towing. He almost regrets trading off his 02. Seems to me Dodge could rectify this for those that are willing to pay for it. What would it take a software change?
Glad I went manual this time.

now when ever we are pulling a load and need to keep a lower gear up a hill, it won't lock up OD
FWIW, if you need to hold drive on a hill just pull it down into 2 and keep the speed over 50 mph. It will hold drive and lockup as long as you want.

clarify please
I have an 04.5 48re and when i push the tow/haul button the transmission comes out of O.D. and the rpm's go up as it is in a lower gear. Is the tranny a 4 speed with an overdrive or a 4 speed whose 4th gear is the overdrive?

Here is a how-to to make you a manual TC lockup switch...and it works. This is where you can have your TC locked up in 1st - 4th gear
