Hello,
I have a 2006 cummins with the 48re. I use the truck to tow my fifth wheel toy hauler roughly 16k lbs, enclosed trailer, and other towing duties, daily driver, and make it into a fun truck. Truck is currently leveled on 35’s with 3.73 gearing, mods are efi live, intake, gauges, and exhaust. It is time to address the trans. My end goal is to put compounds on the truck to make towing easier and have some fun. I plan to be around 850 Hp. I am wanting to build the 48re as funds allow. I have some parts for the trans now that I have been collecting over the year. Was hoping for some help to fill in the blanks and answer some questions. Been researching parts and builders to build a “race” trans to the best of my ability within my budget.
Current parts list-
Sonnax standard size input shaft and piston kit
Sonnax intermediate shaft
Sonnax fat output shaft
Billet flex plate
Firepunk master rebuild kit with billet reverse servo retainer
TCS small billet parts- billet 2nd gear servo, billet accumulator piston, strut, anchor, billet 4.2 ratio apply lever
DPC triple disc converter 150 under stock stall
Upgraded borg warner gov pressure solenoid and transducer
Revmax Rear Band just in case OEM is not good
Billet low/reverse servo
Deep trans pan
Derale 15870 external trans cooler
Removed the check ball in the stock trans line and have the stock trans cooler flowing all the time
Transgo for the valve body
Transmission line pressure gauge in the cab
Dex/Mercon Fluid with a bottle of lubeguard
I do plan to put on the firepunk anteater once I have the trans in the truck and all working as I like using the stock shifter to adjust gears, hold gears, lock the converter and such.
With that being said, do I need the following parts-
Gorend belleville spring kit
I have called Firepunk, Muldoons, Revmax, Power Driven Diesel, LoganBuilt. All great people, with different build ideas and mentalities. I would rather over build this trans then under build it. So seeing if I am missing anything. I do plan to do the case mods for oiling and such.
Is there any other parts you could think of that I would need for the trans to hold up and last for years to come?
Look forward towards your response and help! :thankyou2:
