Looking for advice on 48re swap - Competition Diesel.Com

phil4485 · 05-08-2016, 03:29 PM

First of all thanks for all the info on the forum and free entertainment.
I have a few questions regarding the swapping out my 68rfe for a decent 48re. Already have most parts required . But the transmission I bought didn't come with the throttle valve actuator and was wondering if that's required . Also I can't seem to find the amount of material needed to take off the transfer case input as I'm going with the big 29 spline output on the trans . Wondering above t the overdrive case as I heard of them cracking should I update the case when I do the output shaft ? This swap is in a 07 3500 using the firepunk anteater controller . Also any advice on swap or helpful hints would be appreciated . Would a cooler upgrade be needed as I'd like to run one in the box and do away with the front mount cooler thanks

i was on the fence and decided to go with the 48re due to more aftermarket support and fairly easy on a 3rd gen . Also just the parts alone for a rebuild would be cheaper in my eyes if I need a rebuild or refresh

The Anteater allows the TV motor assembly to be replaced by a TV lever set in a static position (typically 70-90%). Once you get the truck together, the actual value is determined by final line pressure when operating in overdrive locked up.
