hey guys a bud has a '03 dually 48re, slipping bad. he wants to get this other one out of an '06. are they plug and play between those years?

 

Some of the early 03 had the 47RE in them---i guess just to use up the old stock before the 48RE came out---kinda like my 07 with a 5.9,use them up too until the 6.7 were installed.The reason i jumped on my 07---IMHO the last of the best(no flame or war intended).I thought the 06/07 had different/improved programming for the tranny----something to do with lock-up,might not work with the 03 motors programming.PS sorry had to reread your post ----did not see the 48RE

 

the 03 has a completely different valve body, the newer trucks have a completely electronic vb, the 03 04 have a tv cable

 

ok thanks. so its not really a go for him.


now a second question for me.

if I picked up an '04 with 48re can I put the billet triple disk converter on it from my 47rh?

 

sorta,,, I am not sure how the tcm will handle that

 

Here is my input.......none......You guys are so smart on this 3rd gen stuff.....Sorry....wasting tread space..

 

I dont know, what is interchangeable for sure , but I had a VB built for my 01, by DTT, long story short, it had to be sent back twice because it did not work, they tested it in a 2nd gen and a third gen, to confirm it was indeed a VB failure, their response was if any faults would show up it would be because the 3rd gen runs higher pressures.

I'm sure a tranny shop whould be able to confirm interchangability

 

Could get a stand alone programmer, for the transmission, but at that point why run a RE48. If you're going to spend the money, I would look into a 5R110 (5 speed ford) and a stand alone. A stock 5R110 is stronger than a slightly modified RE48. If you're going to tow anything, you'll rather have the 5 speed anyways.

 

You'd have to come up with a bracket for the TV cable, but that's about it.
