BD Diesel Built-It Trans Kit 2003-2007 Dodge 48RE Stage 3 Heavy Duty Kit

The BD Diesel Stage 3 Heavy Duty Build-It Transmission Kit is designed for experienced builders looking to rebuild their 2003-2007 Dodge 48RE transmission with components that match BD's own performance builds. This kit includes all the basic rebuild parts and gaskets you'll need, plus specialty items like beveled and machined pressure plates for the forward and overdrive brake, a billet accumulator piston with dual rings, and Raybestos high-temp/energy bands. These are the same parts BD uses in their performance transmissions, offering a significant upgrade over stock for those who know their way around a transmission rebuild.

This kit goes beyond a basic overhaul by incorporating specific performance enhancements. You'll find components like a bronze bushing with dimples for the pump, a machined forward clutch piston, and oversize steel plates for the direct, high, and reverse clutches. The inclusion of Borg Warner friction discs for the overdrive and rear forward clutches, along with a specific .052 inch thrust washer for the intermediate shaft, demonstrates the attention to detail in matching components for improved durability and performance. This kit is a smart choice for saving money on core charges and freight compared to buying individual performance parts.

For those aiming for even higher performance, BD recommends their electronic upgrade kit (1060605) and pressure transducer (1060602), as well as their heavy-duty transmission pan and valve body. This Stage 3 kit provides a solid foundation for a robust transmission rebuild, offering a substantial upgrade for your Dodge Ram 2500, 3500, or 1500.
