    Acceleration and torque problems

    You will see a white plastic block on the bracket for the throttle body and kick down cable. With a small screwdriver, carefully release the white plastic block then slide the outer part of the kickdown cable until the throttle cable AND the kickdown cable will MOVE TOGETHER, then snap the white...

    Acceleration and torque problems

    The e.c.u. jamming it into 3rd is a definite sign of the transmission being in Limp-In Mode. Sometimes the outside electrical connectors require a cleaning and careful tweaking of a pin or two, as they can cause the Limp-In issue through improper grounding. This sends the wrong info to the...

    Acceleration and torque problems

    Your transmission is taking off in 3rd gear based on the poor acceleration and your engine speed of 3300 rpm at 60 mph at the very end of the video, which is also correct for being in 3rd. And there is no shifting going on. Right now, your transmission is in Limp-In Mode (which puts it in 3rd)...

    Well, as they say....it depends. Camshaft choice will dictate the efficient r.p.m. you'd need to run at for high enough dynamic cylinder pressure (operating cylinder pressure) for optimum mileage. I pretty much need to drive in tow/haul mode with the cam I have installed for city driving to...

    I see the top 2 gears are both Overdrive in the HP90. Crazy low 1st and 2nd gear ratios. These engines don't need steep low and intermediate gearing as they are far more long distance runners than they are sprinters. They can tolerate a fairly wide spacing of gear ratios between shifts without...

    Building a 48re

    I bought a Transgo shift kit for my '71 Hemi Charger so they have been around a while. In 1973 the Transgo kit was $13.00 but they have likely gone up since then. ;) My 48RE got a band from a 1971 727 (Chrysler New Yorker: 440). Those bands could actually be sent away for relining and are...

    Building a 48re

    Great pics. When using different Governors than o.e.m., make sure they are FLAT when mounted as the sometimes the corner of them hits the tranny case and will NOT seal like they should. (Require a bit of grinding sometimes).

    Building a 48re

    Not sure, as there isn't quite enough info and there isn't a question in there, so...?? The valve bodies for the 48RE are the same part number for the SRT-10 and the diesel. The shift kits can be tweaked for the application. The 10s are fast revving in comparison and if the tuner sets the...

    New guy!

    A custom bell housing, crossmember, driveshaft(s), torque convertor, aftermarket standalone controller and someone to tune it. The last one is a biggie. I would also suggest beefing up the transmission itself as (well-known): they don't like shifts under full power. Other than that, enough...

    New guy!

    Hello. Although tougher than the old 727 (which of course the 48RE is largely based on), there isn't much wiggle-room for applying more than around 600 ft. lbs. of torque (or lbs. ft. if you prefer) before the 48RE starts to complain; and that is the power level where an unmolested Cummins from...

    Grille Overslam Bumpers

    There is unfortunately no solid answer. I do know SOME of the Gen III Reliefs were oscillating and a single-piece shuttle used on later engines, put cavitation concerns to rest. As mentioned, a single will increase oil pressure by nature of its design but may be trying to solve an issue that...
