Certified Transmission Rebuilt 48RE Transmission in Bellevue, NE

The Chrysler 48RE is a heavy-duty four-speed automatic transmission best known for its use in Dodge Ram trucks, particularly applications equipped with the Cummins turbo-diesel engine. Built to handle substantially greater torque than a typical passenger-car transmission, the 48RE operates in vehicles that are frequently asked to tow trailers, haul heavy loads and perform demanding commercial or recreational work. Those same operating conditions can generate substantial heat and stress inside the transmission. If your Ram is slipping, shifting poorly or struggling under load in Bellevue, NE, Certified Transmission can diagnose the problem and provide a rebuilt 48RE transmission when replacement is the right solution.

A 48RE can experience clutch and band wear, hydraulic pressure loss, valve-body problems, governor-pressure concerns and torque-converter clutch failure as mileage and workload increase. Heavy towing, added engine power and excessive heat can accelerate internal wear. Symptoms may include slipping under throttle, delayed engagement, flare during shifts, harsh shifting, loss of overdrive, converter shudder, excessive engine speed while cruising or transmission temperatures that rise during heavy use. Because many Cummins-powered trucks have also been modified for additional torque, the vehicle's engine configuration and intended use should be considered when diagnosing a failure and selecting a replacement transmission.

For a truck that works for a living or regularly pulls a heavy trailer, the quality of the replacement transmission matters. Certified Transmission provides rebuilt 48RE transmission solutions in Bellevue, supported by Certified Transmission's large centralized rebuilding facility and decades of transmission specialization. The rebuilding process allows the complete unit to be inspected so worn friction components, hydraulic-control concerns and damaged internal parts can be addressed according to the application. Whether your Dodge Ram is a daily driver, work truck or tow vehicle, contact Certified Transmission in Bellevue, NE to discuss diagnosis and rebuilt 48RE transmission options for your needs.
