My new tranny cured my edge issues.
my old tranny would slip like oil on ice. now that theres no slip i get constant load and my egts are a tad lower. dont ask me how?boost can easily get up to 40 psi now. with slip i could only hit 23 psi.
|
Aftermarket or stock rebuild?
|
aftermarket. my tranny shop told me that the stock tranny is only good for a 4 cylinder gas engine not a 610 ft lbs torque diesel. they went aftermarket with triple disc goerend converter and shift kit.

exactly. i didnt vrealize how much slip there was until i got new tranny.like i said they said the biggest engine shoulod maybe be a 4 cylinder cummins with maybe 180 HP driving the 47 and 48re trannys.our 5.9 without mods is WAY too big for that tranny. dodge engineers need a pay increase and head examined.

Just my .02. |
Thats what i mean . you said it. they only can handle 50% of the engine power the 5.9 makes.before i even did my edge mod i had trany wear. it slipped from the day i bought it. and my mods are nothing. i have 4 " str8 exhaust, willys whistler intake and edge juice that i ONLY ever use on level 1(25 HP) .i do use 2 setting (40HP) when i tow though.
|
The 48re takes 100% of the 5.9's power, it just only transfer's 50% or so of that to the ground. The transmission itself is fine and reliable, it's the TC that needs to be upgraded.
|
whatever. thats what im saying. the torque/tranny i talk as a wholke unit even though their not.none the less the stock tranny/torqueconverter is only good for a 4 cylinder diesel cummins.
|
So if i get good torgue converter how much power would you estimate would hit the ground i have a 07 stock 3500 with a 44' enclosed trailer . I was thinking to stay stock until i get out off warranty.
|
darrell im guessing 74.32% would hit the ground.
