Most of the 48 trays I've seen are large and can easily hold a 13" stud type 31. German automakers finally got their head screwed-on-straight and now have 80-120 amp alternators.
I would guess your 48 will do fine BFL.
This one's tray is blocked off by engine stuff so you can just get the 48 in there. The Ram ProMaster City is a modified Fiat (higher off the ground and better suspension) with a 160a alternator. Built in Turkey using a USA engine. It is meant for city busy short hop commercial small van work, so I hope LY is right about the battery staying charged up despite short hops.
The van specs say OEM battery is 95AH, 700CCA, with "Run Down Protection" (It does not have "Thunder Protection" like some things have) The 48 I got has 660 CCA and 130 RC, so it will just have to do! :)
Thanks for the good clues about the battery. Now I know what to expect and watch out for.
