^Perzactly. I’d go on a limb and say that most all early OD autos were less reliable and more finicky than their 3 speed counterparts.
To this day I’d take a C4/C6, TH 350/400 or 727 for reliability over any early 4R…., 200/700R4 or 45/6/7/8RE slush boxes, apples to apples.
But we’re off topic. A good stout 48re will doo what the OP needs, it just will not be nearly as nice and will have more limitations especially behind a Cummins with not a lot of rpm range.
It decides how you drive, not the other way around. And it’s a guaranteed upshift at redline almost to keep ‘er in the power in the next gear.
