With a few upgrades they are great for towing. With all the good stuff they can hold 1500 hp or more. Some of the other brand diesels put a modified 48RE in their truck when they build extreme power because it is the strongest built modified diesel transmission.


Then I guess I need to find the right rebuilder as the very experienced 727 expert I used really messed mine up! mad He didn't know how to install the overdrive apparently and it broke twice before I bought a new unit. eyes


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
