ATS Governor Pressure Solenoid Install: 96-07 Dodge Cummins 47RE / 48RE Automatic Transmissions

The ATS 3031002188 GM Governor Pressure Solenoid Block Conversion for your 1996-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins is an easy upgrade for your Dodge transmission. Designed to eliminate shuttle shifting, this upgrade replaces the factory governor pressure solenoid with a more reliable GM unit. This kit from ATS includes everything to convert your 47RE or 48RE transmission to the reliable GM governor solenoid. The GM solenoid also has the ability of better handling higher line pressures that many aftermarket valve bodies will deliver.

After visits to two different tx shops and since the tx wasn't throwing codes, nothing was done. It always seemed like a pressure issue, so I decided to replace the Gov pressure solenoid with one of yours. Easy, quick project with my wonderful son-in-law and my '04 RAM 2500 performed great towing a 10,000 travel trailer through the North Georgia mountains. Thanks!!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad to hear it.

[@prior8t2000]

@silverbird58 I was told that those parts aren't made in the U.S. anymore with any quality.. That Americans jus don't have any know how to make great parts in America any longer.. So I set out to find great parts made in a country other then what once used to be a great American made product in America, not far from here at at.. I found out that the partd I absolutely needed where made now in Taiwan... So, that's where most of my hard earned American green backs end up at now.. All this jus to keep my vehical in working running order... I hope this helps you....

If I had two more hands I would give this four thumbs up ! Just bought my first diesel ( Ram 2500 2006 ) . The diagnostics laid out was exactly what I was experiencing with the lack of pressure and stumbling right out of first gear . Thoroughbred Diesel it's staff and representatives were direct informative and and slightly humorous. Genuine customer service is rare as well as ,a quality product. Transmission is shifting like a dream now . Thank you and you guys definitely have my business . Thank you🎉

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thank you for the very nice compliment! Best of luck with your truck and keep in touch!

[@gmeape8827]

I called as I had installed this part as regular maintenance. After install my shifting was rough (too high of rpm) and wouldnt shift out of first unless the truck was warmed up while the transmission temperature was reading 10 degrees. I called and suprisingly Wade answered! He told me to replace the transmission governor sensor. While this part does not come with the product it is highly recommended you replace with an upgraded version. I did the recommended wade had provided and couldnt be happier, shift points were better than I ever remember, mpg increased, while trans temperature is accurate, and no more codes! These guys stand behind their products while providing accurate info! Thanks Wade! Oh, and Wade stated a newer video should be out any day now on this solenoid!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Great to hear! You're welcome!

I just had the same ATS kit installed in my truck last week. My truck wouldn't shift right, it started out in 2nd gear. Now, my truck shifts great. Great job ATS!!

I recently bought a 2006 Ram 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins with this same 48RE TX. My new (OLD) Truck was owned by someone who had customized it but didn't fix the TX. Very STRONG TRUCK with some 48RE TX issues. So, I read about it on the Cummins Blog, asked questions, and here are the results...., I bought the ATSG (Automatic Transmission Service Group) Shop Manual for the 48RE TX which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're going to really get into a dirty project, do it right. I installed this ATS kit with the GM governor pressure solenoid. I replaced the pressure sensor. I completely change ALL the ATFluid. I installed large secondary magnets in collection areas in the ATF deeper oil pan. I replaced ALL the ATF Filters (I have 2 Filters one front and one rear for each cooler). The new in-line replaceable ATF Filter for the rear TX Cooler has added magnets to catch more junk. I installed a TX Cooler Thermostat Delete Kit (front TX Cooler only) which lowered the TX temperature by 30 F degrees on the highway. I installed a BULLY DOG Tuner (Highly Recommended). I get easily 32 to 34 MPG on the highway and around 25 to 28 MPG in town. It pays to "Tinker" but take your time and keep it as CLEAN as possible. My next project is my 2008 Dodge Ram - the same sort of process. I figure that if I make my vehicles strong and efficient as we go into this economic disaster and it will at least keep me busy.

Their solenoid fixed my mopar one which failed after 800 miles. so far so good. The shifts are crisp. I reused the old pressure sensor. A video showing the differences between the install on pre 99 47 RE transmissions would be helpful and the directions don't address replacement techniques on pre 99 which use a metal pressure sensor and a clip which was hard to remove

[@paultavres9830]

When my solenoid went out i had no warning I was running errands parked and when i came back out my transmission was in safe mode ( wont go into first or overdrive with CEL on ) Transmission shop wanted to rebuild my transmission I changed the sensor and solenoid and my transmission has been flawless for years later

[@chicomike5751]

06/22/2016 Thank your thisvideo. I recently took my 2006 Ram 4 X 4 Turbo Cummins to the Dodge dealership for a 100,000 mile adjustment. It was cheaper than buying the necessary tools to do it myself. When leaving the dealership and got to the main highway, the truck would hardly move. Took back to dealership, sat for hours for them to fix it. 3 months later I now have a stutter between 1st and second at normal throttle. With it floored, it seems to shift fine. Ordering necessary parts now to do my own repair. Thanks again for the video. Going to save me a bunch of $$$ for a mechanic to install.

Did you ever find out the problem?

[@logibrown7411]

Do you guys have a video for the suncoast shift kit install?

[@mattmoncourtois847]

So what’s a good test to check if your govenor solenoid is bad or still good is there an electrical test for continuity. Or is the pressure test the way to go? I do have a problem with my car not shifting into 3rd gear unless I drop the RPM and start going down a hill to increase speed then when the RPM drop down to 1.5 I get the speed around 40 and the car will shift fine into 3rd gear. I talked to the dealer and they said check the govenor solenoid. I also have not changed the fluid and it’s atound 111,000 miles. It is a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 44RE trans

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

What are the different symptoms reference transducer versus shift solenoid?

[@mercedes-amgforlife3237]

My transducer kicked the bucket and it was telling the computer that the transmission was overheating. I could start my truck on a 40*F day and within 1 mile of driving it would show 200*+ temps. It would make a loud roar noise once above the 230* mark. I replaced mine with a BD Power kit that used Borg Warner parts from a GM transmission. Basically once I replaced the pressure solenoid and transducer my truck shifted way better than when I had bought it.

[@DeafRedneck]

My truck does a triple or double shift when I go back on the throttle going up a hill around 25-30ish mph is that what you call a stutter? It seems to do it when I’m off the throttle going downhill and getting back on the throttle is when it does this weird shift

[@waynejohnson6594]

Is this beneficial to a gasoline powered truck? Thanks.

Hard to get in or out of park is your detent ball and spring. Google Dodge detent ball kit and you'll find all kinds of stuff.

The gov pressure solenoid lets you run the GM solenoid for higher line pressure. If your problem lies with the line pressure, this could work. Check fluid level and clean all grounds on your batteries before throwing parts at it.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

A lot goes into this. A gov pressure solenoid upgrade shouldn’t be looked at as a “fix” for a slipping trans. Diagnose and fix that issue first, then look to the gov press solenoid as a upgrade for driveability.

Thank you for the videos! I love the hard work you put in to these videos! Very detail oriented i love it! Can you do a video on 48re all the band adjustments? I plan on doing this upgrade. I also want to upgrade the transducer to the bd upgrade kit. I hope it works together seen some videos where there is small modifications needed. My issue just started today. 04 48re and it wont shift to second unless i hit around 3k rpm. I only have 26k on the rebuilt tranny (previous owner). Not sure of all the details of what was done or changed. I would like to do this, transducer, adjust bands, change pan, filter. Any other suggestions for minor upgrades to improve durability as far as with just having the pan off? Thank you!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

The Gov solenoid upgrade is just that, and upgrade. It cant be used as a replacement if there is a mechanical failure inside of the transmission that keeps it from shifting correctly. That being said, and the BD transducer would be great upgrades to your trans to get proper shifting and shift points in a healthy trans. We don’t have any overall health videos for this trans but it is something we are looking into.

Got a 05 thats hard shifting down to first when stopping and stuttering when taking off between 1st and 2nd. Could this be a fix. Have already adjusted the low band. Trans has about 4k on it.

[@ficksed]

Hey did you find out what was going on with your transmission? I have a 97 that's doing the same thing you described and I'm waiting for my governor pressure solenoid to show up in the mail.

[@bartstone2851]

@@ficksed nope. Motors a little strong for it so waiting to get a built one for the truck. Was hoping it might be something simple i could fix to get me by but just parked for now.

[@ficksed]

Alrighty. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@bradbrinegar1419]

hey guys ive watched a few of your videos and im trying to figure out the trans on an 03. at 70 mph when it shifts to overdrive it doesnt want to stay in gear like it kicks out into neutral. let off the throttle and it goes back into 3rd just fine. ive been told everything from tps sensor to bad grounds. this seems more of a reasonable fix

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Your problem could be mechanical or electrical, and I know that answer doesn’t help much but without the truck on a scanner it would be hard to diagnose. The Gov Pressure solenoid is more of a preventative addition to your transmission, if you have a failing solenoid then yes this is a great replacement/upgrade. Even if you have a working solenoid, this is a nice preventative item that can be added to the trans to provide peace of mind.

hi brad i am having the same issue with my 06 right now. did you find out what the problem was?

[@rubennegron9361]

I have had an intermittent shuttle shift over a year now and each time I did a fix it came back. This is what I did. Pulled the pcm electrical connection and sprayed electrical cleaner and dielectric grease, the shuttle stopped for a week and came back. Cleaned all the ground connections to the body then I read about the alternator could be putting out ac interference by having a leaky diode and so I had a transmission shop put a noise suppressor on my alternator and was good for about 2 months , no shuttle. But came back again and I noticed the noise suppressor was getting hot to the touch and I called the manufacturer of the noise suppressor and he told me it could be bad and send me another one that I installed on the pcm wire that goes to the throttle position sensor. And that fix lasted for 3 months. I thought I had fixed the problem but it came back again. Now a I am thinking of swapping my 48re automatic trans. To a manual 5 speed.

[@rubennegron9361]

I forgot to mention that noise suppressor that the transmission shop put on blew up my alternator and I ended up buying a new alternator and battery. Sorry for being so long winded, but need some help.

[@juliosturup3915]

I have a 98 1500 5.9 Magnum. With problems shifting to 2 gear. Will this upgrade fix my problem?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

The transmission will have to have a full diagnosis to find your root cause.

Hello, I have a 1996 2500 with a Cummins. It started going into limp mode and throwing a p0748 code. I put in the ats kit, new filter and fluid. A few good days and it did it again. Limped to work and when I come out, it worked perfect. Several days later it does it again at the same place in road. It does it after going down a grade and coming to level driving. Took it to trans shop, they replaced inner harness. Few days ok then boom, same place in road. Please help, this is getting expensive. Mike

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Go a different way to work

[@ssmayassmaya6030]

I had a shop install the Same part and a BD transducer now my truck shifts 2nd to 3rd hard and way to soon then sometimes its 3rd to 4th shifts hard and way too soon maybe they did something wrong have you. Had a problem like mine

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Was this the original problem the truck was having that prompted you to change the pressure solenoid?

[@ssmayassmaya6030]

I have efi life and when i go to my highest tune it would go like in to safetymode in 2nd gear i was told to replace the 2 parts with aftermarket i did the a BD transducer and Suncoast block with solenoid. When I drive the truck after a while in town it'll start shifting hard and second and sometimes and 4th but only when the oil starts to warm up

[@07blackdog]

I have all 4 gears; but my '01 Cummins just started having delayed shifting from 1-2 and 2-3. Also has the typical let off the throttle for the 3-4 shift. Not sure if this will help?

[@haydencrook3169]

Did you ever find out what it was?

[@hodgepodgez7359]

have you adjusted the cable?

[@elmerperez5143]

Why does my automatic transmission take a while to hook on the 40-50 mph gear ?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

This could be an internal issue with the trans or VB itself. I would suggest taking the truck to a trans shop and have the pressures run on it during operation and they can give you a good assessment of the trans status.

[@jordanficek4805]

I have a 2000 dodge cummins with the 47re and I was hauling a load of hay and I had the truck out of over drive, this has happend to me a few times. When I'm just driving around the truck shifts and drives just fine, but when it goes into limp mode I shut the truck off and start it back up right away and I get all of my gears back. All the help I can get from you guys would be great! Thanks!

[@RaySanchez2388]

Mines doing the same thing did you ever figure it out

[@kt.hehner5997]

My 2001 3500 4x4 Dodge Ram diesel acts like it freewheeled going down hill when you let off throttle. Then when in tow haul it will not let truck run over 50 mph without over speeding engine. Any idea what problem could be. It shifts good no slip.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Tow Haul is a lockout of overdrive so not being able to go over X MPH is correct. Try not to drive in Tow Haul at exceedingly high RPM’s. Increases line pressure so it will not fix either of your conditions. I would suggest having the truck looked by a transmission professional.

[@kt.hehner5997]

Thank u for getting back to me and info.👍

[@lancesmith4102]

2007 RAM 3500 5.7 Diesel - If the Pressure Solenoid is faulty will it always trigger fault codes to ODBII ? I have same symptoms but no codes . Issues appears more so when engine and tranny hot due to stop and go traffic. including lurching during shifting and revs to about 2300 RPM before shifting 1st to second. CPU has been reset ,also turning truck off briefly and restarting seems to clear problem for a brief period of time. - Sincerely

[@lancesmith4102]

Correction 6.7 Diesel - not that it should make a difference :)

[@nickhernandez99]

My Cummins is throwing a p0973 code (overdrive control circuit low). My truck is in limp mode taking off in 2nd gear and going in to overdrive! I can't even feel it shifting! Will this upgrade fix my problem?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Not likely. This could be a wiring issue, tipm, or ecm even. It would need to be traced down and diagnosed.

[@rubennegron9361]

03 Dodge 48re shuttle shift between 3rd& 4th will that procedure fix that ?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Possibly. Other things could be the culprit with your truck.
