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!!
@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....
Thank you, brother. You feel like I do about transmission fluid but thank you for showing me that. I know it’s been years later, but I needed to know about the upgrade thank you.
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!!
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🎉
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.
Note: you should always pull the dip stick out slightly to avoid being poked in the hand 2 guys i worked with failed to do that and both ended up in hospital with an infection that resulted in over night stay with antibiotics Be safe only takes a second
I purchased it through you guys for my '96 after watching this video and not only did it fix my shudder shift but there is noticeably more takeoff power and I gained about 10 mph on the top end.
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
El Jun i dont remember but its easy and cheap to replace the sensor and solenoid Go to a transmission parts supplier About $150 plus trans atf+ and a filter
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.
I've heard using a larger GM governor solenoid you can jack line pressure up to near 185 psi, what if anything does it affect the Computer it's on a 2002 Ram van w/46re
I have a 2005 dodge ram 2500. 125k miles. It just started holding 1st gear a little long and shuttle shifting between 1st and 2nd. I adjusted the front band. I have plenty of threads left on the adjuster. It didn’t fix it. Will these part fix my issues?
My 2004 cummins 48re transmission just decided to not go into gear anymore. It will sit in park and it will free wheel in all other gears. It did so the late hard shift into second before this happened. Any ideas?
You mentioned that you have good aftermarket pans with external drain plugs. Why did you not go ahead and show these pans, instead of using the stock tranny oil pan?????
We have a hard time getting trucks in here to video as it is. This customer couldn’t be talked into the aftermarket pans. But yes you are correct, we should have shown the difference here. We have other videos with aftermarket pans, we could have referred to those.
I dont have any codes but my truck starts out in second gear or higher but it's definitely not first gear. And even manually shifted into first it still won't go in first gear....??
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!
Hey, great video! I've got a 47re transmission in my 1999 Cummins 3500. It's shifting oddly between 1st and second, and overdrive doesn't come on. Would this solve that issue?
I just bought this kit from you guys installed it and replaced the filter and filled the transmission with fluid and now I’m getting a p0868 code saying low line pressure. Now the truck try’s to take off in 3rd gear
I got the 48re and it's like a pressure issue. I start driving and it will not shift to 2nd unless I let off the throttle. Sometimes it does but 9/10 it won't. Other than that it shifts fine.
My truck when I let off the throttle and begin to decelerate will not shift down, it takes all brake to bring it to a stop. Any idea what would be causing that?
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
I replaced my pressure switch transducer,,,worked good for a bit then started not knowing what to do during 2-3 shift. the gear shift lever gets very stiff when trying to get it back into park position. can you give me advice please. bands look as new oil is clean and filter. my truck is 2004 5.9 with 175000k thank you. great learning tutorial by the way.
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. Mine got harder and harder to pull out of park until finally it wouldn't come out at all bu thankfully it happened in my driveway! I was bending my column shift lever and it wasn't coming. I ended up replacing my whole valve body with a Suncoast but they make inexpensive kit to repair ball and detent spring. As for 2-3 shift, not sure. Did you replace just transducer and not governor solenoid?
Im in the same situation i replaced the filter the governor selenoide and the transducer and it worked at for a bit but after a while it keeps on having problems changing gears 3-4 know i have to let go of the gas pedal on 4rpm so it can change gear ,did u fix it?
@@luispineda8582 Believe it or not i replaced the original batteries because they needed replacing.......now the transmission is shifting and running like new!
Is that what you originally installed it for? Go back through your install and reinstall the old block and see what you get. Did you torque the block correctly?
I originally installed it just to make the transmission preform better because i was going to start doing alot of towing and i did torque everything correctly Just had the transmission rebuilt yesterday and its working fine now without the ats pressure solenoid
I am upgrading this part currently, as well as the one it plugs into with the wiring harness. I am having a lot of trouble getting the part it's plugged into on the other side of the transmission to drop down so I can swap the long line of wires. 2005 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins diesel.
After doing everything you did my 2006 dodge ram 5.9 won't shift out 1st drives better but doesn't shift no codes or anything wrong I see but the shifting. Any suggestions thank you.
Have a 99 2500 dodge 47re trans and only goes when cold but nothing when warmed up what could be problem I thinking maybe filter in rear clogged up cooler clogged up getting hot or torque converter. What do you think it might be
So question....i got this not even a year ago...and the pressure silenoid itself clapped out...worked good for a few thousand miles...but anyhow can I buy just the solenoid itself?? I only come across the entire block and all...i only need the solenoid
There are a lot of probable causes according to the trouble tree, including the solenoid kit. Follow the trouble tree for the code before changing a part.
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
I have a 02 Cummins an I put the truck in drive an it has no power pulling out.if I manually pull the shifter in to first gear it works .any ideas on what it could be
Is there a solenoid that is sold separately from the whole conversion block? I’ve had the gm solenoid for about 3 years and yhe shuttle shift is back and hoping to replace just the solenoid on the block instead of buying the whole thing over again.
I have a 2014 2500 cummins with an automatic. When I let off the gas pedal it makes a weird noise/ slight clunk almost like a u-joint symptom but they are all tight. When I let off the throttle slowly it doesn't seem to do it. Any ideas?
Hard to say without seeing the solenoid pressure and commands. It is a great upgrade to the trans but if something mechanical is going on with the trans or valve body it wont fix those issues.
Had burnt fluid in my pan changed it twice the first time magnet was full of sludge the second time changed fluid filter gov solenoid and transducer and said temp was too high and solenoid have high voltage coming out now my truck starts out on 2nd gear bought the sensors on Amazon could they have been bad? my truck only has 100k miles its a ram srt 10 with 48re 05
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.
The 48RE service manual states that the valve body bolts are 100 in lbs and governor body bokts are 35 in lbs. is there something about the ATS body that requires 102 in lbs, other than the larger size than OEM body?
i have an 06 and it shifts from 1st to 2nd at a high rpm, 2500-3000. but the other gears seem to be fine. Any ideas? do you think this upgrade will help with that?
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.
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.
@@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.
My truck goes into 2nd and I have to press the pedal a little more than I would like or else it feels like its slightly disengages or bogs until it goes to 3rd. Press the pedal a little more and it works perfectly fine. Is this the symptom for this repair? Seems like that's how you described.
Good evening, I changed in my ram 3500 2001 diesel the TPS sensor calibrated at .55 v but in the calibration test it does not exceed 1.99 and it becomes OL and remains dead
I would like to save some money on my truck. At this point, it shifts fine, but I will be hauling heavy (15K) trailers. So, will this kit help INCREASE the load the tranny can pull? I would rather do your mod than get a rebuilt transmission. My truck is an 03 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 Cummins. Thank you.
Do you guys at thoroughbred have any idea if this will fix an issue I'm having with my 48re where as soon as the truck goes into 2nd gear it immediately seems to disengage and the engine rpms rise and then engages 3rd gear? Transmission is newly rebuilt HD trans with new torque converter.
My 2007 Ram is doing almost the same thing. I recently changed the pressure solenoid to the newer mopar replacement and went to the bd diesel kit that changes the plastic transducer to the older metal one because the transmission didn’t want to shift from 1st to 2nd. Now it shifts from 1st to 2nd flawlessly but when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it almost seems to be hitting neutral because the rpms rise and there’s no power driving the truck forward until the shift is complete. Hate the 48re transmission lol. It’s the only thing that I hate about my truck and the reason that it sits more than I drive it.
@@hairygonzo69 I ended up changing my governor pressure solenoid and transducer I believe which it comes with also with the billet sun coast unit kit. Fixed my issue not sure about the other guy.
Hello ,I have a 2003 Dodge ran 2500 diesel , today I found time to change the governor solenoid whit Borg Warner 50185 , I also change the filter and oil . I test the truck and at 20 miles per hour I heard winding noise , any idea , please let me know . I parked the truck immediately , any idea ?
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?
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
when I'm bolting things back together the upper T20 bolt is not going in as easy as it came out and when I apply a lil pressure to screwing it in fluid starts to leak out the back side and down the bolt. what do i do?? it"s a 99 46re. Thanks Jenna
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.
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
I put this part and a new pressure sensor on my 1996 dodge 2500 diesel. It worked fine for a few weeks. Now it's going into limp mode and I'm getting a p1757 and p1763 fault code. Was I suppose to use both the black paper and metal gaskets ? Is this part causing my fault codes ?
Put a BD valve body in my dually diesel that I got through you guys like 8 yrs ago. But it doesn't matter, itll rain trans fluid on you the whole time your workin on it. Dont wear clothes that you like because they will be trash.
hi sir i have 1998 dodge ram 1500 when im stop in the stop sign i heard a fall under the truck and then whin im press the gas its nothing happen i turn off the engine and i switch the engine its work but when i put drivre its not work even park or reverse but the engine still work whats wrong for that ,sir its 1998 dodge ram 1500 automatic
Hi Wade, Can you tell us exactly what you mean when you say "stutter shift"? I know this may be a basic thing I should know but I just want to make sure exactly what you're talking about. Thanks.
When I am talking about this, and it is probably terrible terminology so I apologize, I am referring to the truck locking in an out gear, or hunting for the gear it is wanting to be in.
I have a 2007 chive uplander it doesn't shift in to gear by itself but it will shift by doing it by hand so would mean the solenoid be bad a long with the switch.
I have a 1997 Dogde Ram 2500 5.9 (gas). My transmission slips (gear does not change) almost every time when I'm driving. Do you think changing the part you show in the video would help solve the problem? And what do you suggest the cost of the part would be?
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.
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.
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.
