What transmission do I have?

Is there any way to tell if I have the 47RE or 48RE transmission?

Truck description in the signature.

Are there any identifying markings on it, or does the VIN specify what it is. I do have the 305 HP for sure, I checked the sticker on the side of the valve cover.

IF you have the HO 305 then you have a 48re. If it was an SO it's possible you had the 47re. If you want to know for sure, go to the dealer's parts counter. Ask to have a build sheet printed out for your truck.

people will jump in and back me up, but check the build date on the truck. if I recall, if its built after 01/14/03 you have a 48re. I called the dealer when I got my truck, and they confirmed that I had a 48re.

but, like others said, you can just call the dealer and give them the last 9 of your vin and they will tell you.
