Hi from Scandinavia
I'm From Finland, Scandinavia.
Wanted to step in & say Hi.
Been lurking here occasionally, have find Dodge answers needed so far by just searching here.
Have had mine 1 year now, without any brobs to worth mention.
Anyway, looks like it needs some updating to driveline quite soon, so i'll be back with that case later...
Great site !

Hi from Sweden!
Great looking trailer..
If the Stock TC on the 48RE is as loose as on the 47RE an aftermarket TC would be a great improvment. I know I hated reving around town without any power to the ground with mine.
My first transupgrade was a ATS TC and VB and a Sonnax inputshaft, and thats one of the best bombs I´ve done to my truck. It got the (at that time) stock power to the ground in a completley different way...
You probably know for sure you have a 48RE in your truck as your sig says, but I have to ask if you know that some early 03 came with the 47RE.
Reason I ask is that I had the above described tranny rebuilt with red clutches and other goodies after I had my new tranny installed, and is now for sale. Never used!
Just in case you have a 47RE without knowing it and thinks it is easier to buy it from Sweden....
Great to see a "neighbour" over here!

Wow! Thats quite a trip... and I know how the roads in Norway is...
Not really made for American trucks
What do you race?
You really should consider a VB too, to firm up the shifts, that sucks in stock form IMO.
I had a ATS VB towing mode that shifts firmer and quicker than stock but not hard. It also raises the linepressure to hold the clutches together better under load.
Downside with ATS parts over here is they not give a warranty overseas (as most off the producers/distrubutors). That together with their reputation about customerservice made me go a different route when choosing a built tranny.
Suncoast, Goerand, DTT, NADP, HTS (uses Suncoast TC) would be fine whatever you choose.
I choosed the HTS and it shifts quick and HARD as I want it too...
A tighter TC and a performance VB is worth every penny(Mark) and I gained some mpg citydriving due to the tighter TC.

Yes, bad roads so we took Swedish E4 thru Övertorneå & turned in from Sundsvall.
We do Snowmobile Drag-Race.
You're right about VB too, very much like one off these companies i take to go foward...

Awesome looking trailer. Trailer looks like an aluminum, what does it weigh? Does that trailer had a front ramp for driving the snow machines out? Do you race with the Arctic Cats? Those Cats are a force to be reckoned with, though I do like my Ski-Doos...
