URGENT: Any visual way to tell the difference between a 47RE and 48RE???
Getting a new tranny put in and was told my tranny is a 48RE not a 47RE. My build date is 9/02 so I was sure it is a 47RE. I'm the second owner so maybe the first owner put in a 48RE? I'm picking up my truck this evening and want to see if my old tranny was really a 47RE or 48RE. I only ask cause the shop is charging me a little more for the 48RE that they quoted me on a 47RE.
Thanks
Eric

Well I've got both tranny codes I guess? The shop said for sure I have a 48RE as the harness is different between the 47 and 48. Here's a pic of the tranny codes:

You can tell the 47 and 48 apart by looking at the tip of the input shaft. If they are basing their opinions on the external factors I would seriously question their building abilities.

Why does it matter? Wouldn't you rather have a 48RE? It's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the 47RE from what I've heard, and they are going to warranty it, right?
