According to VENOMOUS1, no----I ask the same question, seems something to do with the computer. :dontknow:

Have you replaced the transmission cooler every time, transmission cooler lines flushed / replaced. I have seen this before when debris from a previous failure was not removed from the system causing a failure of the same component.

I asked the same question to a bunch of people myself. I only found one guy that would even consider taking the challenge and it was going to be expensive 10k+. The electronics was going to take a lot of R&D to get it working with our trucks.

Start all over and go with a T56.

Let me offer some info about the RE tranny, it may be possible that the shop who rebuilt your tranny did a remove and replacement of the overdrive unit instead of rebuilding your original overdrive unit, So whats the difference ? i cant get into detail without opening the ATSG manual but there is a big difference in the internals of a 47/48 RE GAS 318/360 VS 47/48 RE V10/Diesel espescially in the overdrive, Yes you can interchange them and it will work but the diesel/v10 will burn up the overdrive of the smaller v8 RE. I had this almost happen to me when i tried to take the ez way of a overdrive swap for a diesel and as i was reading through the manual i found out and i looked inside and saw the difference of the components so i went back and argued and showed the sales guy at the tranny parts house so he refunded me and i rebuilt mine, Also the Sprag in the overdrive can be installed upside down and yes it will work for a short while, Also the bores in the valvebody can be worn and cause problems, And lastly stay away from trans go shift kits, they can make a great shifting tranny become a slush box. cope racing transmissions is who id speak to also, he is a mopar only tranny guy, he was a transmission engineer for dodge also. hope i put some hope back into your 47re

oops 48re lol, also in the diesels there is a check valve in the cooler line that would be known for getting stuck, but diesels used a small tank in the cooler line near the block where the check valve is located, im not sure if our trucks use a check valve but it can be removed. be sure to have pure atf4 and the converter checked out

I can have your 48re built right or we can fo T56 or 6060. We can also do a Turbo 400 or 4l80 GM tranny as well. All are viable options. Not sure what your builders have done with no success, but definitely not cool.

Do a 4l80e 1 time and be done up. Decent builds without tons of $$$ will hold a 1000hp.

flushing is critical. On my diesel I lost 2nd intermittently but I chose to do the whole Tran. I flushed the cooler and lines with an rx11 air conditioning flush kit and all sorts of nasty gunk and filings came out.
