Guys, build the OD section to 2006 diesel specs and you can drag race that thing with the OD on. Think about it for a minute, the 47/48 diesel trucks are towing 20,000 lbs plus in OD these days. Just go get the thin snap ring, the OD retainer plate and ditch the wave spring and you get an extra clutch and steel in there. Also, if I’m not mistaking the diesel spring is heavier than the gas job.
If built right no problems, my 48re in my Ram holds up no problems to dynoed 500hp and 998 foot lbs tourque, and alot of the parts go as far back in time to the 727 transmission. Guys shift the trans while in lockup but have billet shaft through the whole trans. I went with only billet input shaft.
