Cummins 48RE Destruction, What Happens When You Tow Heavy ?

[@JaegerWrenching]

The amount of work you do is definitely not always appreciated by all, but just know there are guys out there like myself who understand and appreciate it! Filming everything and building then editing is a daunting task sometimes. Trying to do all of it will wear on you and your sleep, it's the only reason I don't youtube much of what I do anymore.

[@justinadickes4770]

Just crushing it, awesome to see the tare down and showing what could have been the issue. Truly appreciate the honesty with you and showing the good and the bad, and hell man its your channel run it how you always have truthful and to the point. It's a nice change in the world today.....keep hammering

[@joesalazar770]

You do a good job and the explaining is adequate I built my trans first one and it came out great. No issues. I am planning the replace the chain and sprockets in my t case fluid was nasty like chain is rubbing likely only will not loaded and in 4 x4 but we'll see thanks.

[@michaeldannjr.9407]

Your videos helped me out so much man!! Great content

[@johnnystanley4469]

Good video, good luck on the projects thanks for sharing.

[@marcroberson7226]

Great channel very informative keep up the hard work

[@j.c.316]

Thanks for the content Josh! Watching from Washington (west coast). Your transmission build videos are 💯 👌🏼

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Appreciate it!!

[@longrangegear]

As a trans builder (manuals) i can 100% vouch for the insane editing effort needed for transmission build videos. Ive made a few that just never even got shared, its hard to dedicate the time. Thanks for doin what you do 🤘🏼

[@scmroman]

Josh you make these transmission rebuilds look so easy. I just finished up my first build a few months ago and now I've gotta take it back out because my case cracked along the bore for the neutral safety switch, this is after I dropped the pan and put 4 helicoils in. Hoping I can make this next attempt as easy as you make it look. I pretty much used your build videos as a my main reference and the ATSG as a secondary source. I know it probably sounds corny but your videos inspire me to get out in the garage and to get to work, might just go ahead and pull this transmission next weekend.

[@markrich3271]

I finisjed my first build not to long ago too. Did you replace all your bushings?. Was your overdrive housing tough going on over your intermediate shaft? After i did bushings mine was.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Happy to help

[@scmroman]

@@markrich3271 Yes I replaced every bushing and my intermediate slid into the OD housing very easily, it took a little wiggling and a couple soft smacks from a dead blow to get it fully seated.

[@markrich3271]

@scmroman no mine was tough it tool allot to get it seated. All seems OK i was just concerned it was so difficult for me .

[@coryridder1937]

Have to say I do love these videos. This is one job I have yet to do. Waiting for the wife's 68 to crap the bed. I got the ATSG manual so hopefully I don't screw it up when the time comes.

[@bobbycakes]

Josh, this is the area most & Myself know very little. i have watched all of them you have made. still trying to understand. I have gotten A lot of good feedback on the Fuel rims you sold me. Thanks again!

[@DFB-1990]

Just have to say I will watch whatever content you have time to put out. I understand some things take more time and effort and if it doesn't have a pay back I understand skipping some of it. Keep on rolling and Ill be here watching!

[@trevorhenry7339]

Please go over the FMVB wiring and how you run it, also if you can describe the differences between wiring on a 47/48 I would greatly appreciate it man!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

I can but a 47re and a 48re wire the same in FMVB form

[@trevorhenry7339]

@@horsetorquesdiesel Didn’t know if there was a difference in wiring on both so had to ask! Would appreciate it if you could

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

@@trevorhenry7339 it will be in next weeks video it’s 3 wires so it’s easy to explain!

[@trevorhenry7339]

@@horsetorquesdiesel Hypothetically. If we’re swapping a old 6 speed to a FMVB and the trans harnesses was never there, is it still as easy?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

@@trevorhenry7339 yes sir!

[@joesalazar770]

I have a second gear band that started slipping burned up the fluid got the tranny hot three four times. And it still holds under light load. Getting ready to through a remanufactured 48re in behind it I have not got time to build my own at this time sucks. Plus parts are a bit hard to get in less than a week I got to have the truck for hauling hay. 🥴

[@michaelswanzy1693]

I am also in the process of rebuilding my 48re using your videos. So much appreciated. One question though. How do I tell if I have a 48 re pump in it? It has been rebuilt in the past and I want to be sure the builder put the correct pump back in it.

[@michaellashway3362]

I love all your videos I think I've learned more from your videos then any other thank you for the informative content brother

[@dandanger6225]

Well done!! Just now seeing this vid. Do you remember what Torque converter in that trans?

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Nice informative video!

[@tylerpelton3299]

I do appreciate the build videos you have up. I will be building my 48 soon

[@joshsabin3436]

Honestly this is a great channel.Thank you for the great content!

[@jamesmarlar696]

Good content and I agree on rear main don’t fix what ain’t broke

[@jeepslivin]

Ok, so alot of rebuilders use the thick (.215) od pressure plate. Even georend sends it in there kits but uses the thinner frictions to get 6. The theory behind it is the stepped plate cracks. My personal experience is i've only cracks after being overheated from slippage. So it has a .215 plate a quick trip to lathe. Use thin frics. I can get 7. But it takes a lottle argueing with it first😊

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

It should be a .278 plate as that’s what is factory then you machine it down to .200 on the snap ring surfaces. But you can use a full reaction and get 7 thins in there. Do it often no lathe required. The argument is they crack at high line pressure I have broken 2 at 225+

[@adamciolfi7933]

I literally just bought a Transfer Case Motor yesterday which was just over $400 CAD after taxes. for a Dorman brand. I haven't even installed it yet. I too, prefer the manual shift style.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Manual isn’t bad but until the electric shift dies it works ok

[@stvnmllr]

My 07 auto has the manual Tcase kinda like it over the electric

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

My quad cab does, personally I hate it. The switch is much easier 😂

I’m currently rebuilding my own 48re trans using your old trans build video! Appreciate you making that. Question, where do you get selective size snap rings?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Back sections of the atsg manual

[@BGC7269]

Tips on making a rebuilt stock trans better ??!! Love the vid earned a follow here! My 05s 48re is out right now just curious on what to do to beef it up a little nothing crazy

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Not worth the effort. Personally if you aren’t putting a triple disc and a billet input shaft just run it until it fails.

[@mikestrucks]

Nice one Josh 👍🏻

[@nickolascarlson9645]

Love your trans builds!!! Hoping to build mine the same way. Taking notes haha

[@AlpinesPeak14]

Is a 48re build able in a garage if all hard parts are bought? Or is it a very technical transmission to build?

[@witcher71]

Do it. Get an ATSG manual and study it and if it looks like you can handle it, go for it!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

It’s simple you just need a few simple specialty tools

[@claytonmoore4323]

What dose a built 48re cost if you have the cases

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

We start at 6500 for our stage 1

[@claytonmoore4323]

I’m looking to do an 800-1000hp 48re I will have a transmission to send to yall. After watching almost all your videos I would like y’all to build it when I’m ready

[@adrianmilissa9271]

Hey at least you already have a how to video already out on the 48re. I can’t wait to see the manual Vb stuff insertion stuff. I want to do it but hesitant 😂 Adrian

[@GMCJay_lly]

Commenting for support!

[@baconcreek609]

I'm old fashioned, but I'd rather have a manual shift tcase. But I also like manual locking hubs.

[@markrich3271]

With out yours and lavons video i would of never been able to rebuild my 48 . Ive reposted them on the forums when asked . They are great . Josh is it my imagination or does it take alot of force to put the overdrive housing over the intermediate shaft if you change out the case bearing. i was worried and surprised it was so stiff at first.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Little tap tap never hurt

[@joekartis7564]

Hey josh in your next video for install can you include adjusting the shifter? I have a tci outlaw I get it to go in park won’t go to first adjust it to go in first won’t go into park lol tried adjusting from in both 2nd and drive

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Yep coming right up!

Is the DDP truck gonna be competing again this season??

Hey man, just to let you know I appreciate the detail on the builds but I understand and once you do it once no need to really repeat same thing.

[@benleinart4352]

Hey Josh I asked you on your previous video if the s300 from smeding was a good turbo and you recommended going back with the VGT, where would you recommend getting one from? Not sure if I should trust the remans or not.

Starting to push the 600-700hp range. Want to get into around 800. Whats your thoughts on swapping to a 48re from a G56 and using firepunks anteater controller?

I love my manuals but its going to be wayyy faster with a 48re

Bolt on boys and simpletons are the only ones who don't appreciate a transmission build video. Lames.

[@Rangerdnger]

Is it possible to make a dodge transmission capable without putting a full manual valve body in it? I was hoping you would keep this truck similar to what a normal person would have before you screw it all up and make it a hood rat truck like your other ones lol

Oh ya you can if you want. I just prefer the FMVB
