As strong as a 48re can be, or even a 47 for that matter…you can build either to handle truck pulls and 10 second quarter miles easily…they are HORRIBLE for towing heavy. By not only todays standards but by every GM diesel built after 2001, every Ford built after 2003? I think, and every Dodge built after 2007.5.
Running one of them is like having to take a piss but only lowering your zipper 1/2”. You can get the job done, but why? (Unless your zipper is stuck…lol)
I hate it when that happens :B
I disagree on the 48re and 47... I don't think you can go back far enough to compare it to an equivalent GM or Ford transmission.
