Upgrade Your Dodge Diesel 47RE And 48RE
Upgrade the weakest component of your heavy-duty Dodge transmission with the ATS Governor Pressure Solenoid Block Conversion Kit for 1996–2007 Dodge trucks.
$799 for the upgrade alone (plus fluid, filter, etc.), or $599 when done along with a rebuild at Sun West Transmissions in Glendale.
Why Upgrade The Governor Pressure Transducer
- Replaces the factory plastic transducer, which malfunctions intermittently, with a rugged, reliable metal unit.
- Handles higher transmission line pressures without failure.
- Electronic adapter prevents over-pressure codes.
- Built-in temperature sensor for improved reliability.
- Heavy-duty BorgWarner governor pressure solenoid.
- Prevents wild pressure oscillations and debris buildup.
- More flow capacity.
It simply does not fail. You can replace the factory transducer a dozen times and still have problems — this upgrade is built to last under the higher pressures these Cummins workhorses demand.
Two Pieces To This Puzzle
Heavy-Duty Transducer
We replace the factory plastic transducer — the most commonly sold part for Dodge/Ram — with a high-quality steel BorgWarner high-pressure transducer.
Adapter Wiring With Internal Electronics
The upgrade requires a special wiring adapter that converts the oval connector to a flat one and includes a built-in temperature sensor and a resistor matched to the upgraded transducer, so it works seamlessly with your truck’s computer.
Quality Installation
If you are investing in another transmission, why not build out the factory defects? Have it installed when you rebuild with Sun West Transmissions in Glendale.
47RE / 48RE Transducer Failure
The factory governor pressure switch (transducer) on 1999–2007 5.9L Cummins trucks cannot handle the pressure — even if you are lucky enough to get a good one. We have seen a poorly made transducer destroyed in just ten minutes.
About The Dodge RH/RE Transmissions
46RH / 46RE
Used behind the 5.2L and 5.9L V8 engines, the 46RH and 46RE are 4-speed automatics from the A518 family, which replaced the A727 in the early 1990s. Both added an overdrive; the RH used a hydraulically controlled governor, while the RE’s governor is computer-controlled.
47RH / 47RE
Built for heavy-duty use behind the V10 gas and Cummins diesel engines. The 47RH was used in 1994–1995 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks, and the 47RE from 1996 through 2002. It was rated for 450 lb-ft of torque and trailers up to 19,000 pounds.
48RE
Introduced in 2003 to handle the higher torque of the new diesel engines, the 48RE added improved electronic controls, a larger-diameter output shaft and an improved oil pump for better performance, reliability and easier diagnosis.
