48RE Planetary 2000, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 48RE. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is filed under our 48RE parts, but it is not a planetary gearset. The part is a remanufactured A518-family valve body with all of its electronics, built on the 46RE/47RE pattern for 2000 and later Dodge trucks. If your Ram, Dakota or Durango is shifting late, flaring, banging into gear or will not lock the converter, and the problem traces to worn bores or a tired solenoid pack, this is a bolt-in hydraulic assembly instead of a rebuild on the bench.
Every RE-series four-speed uses the valve body to turn pump pressure into clutch and band apply. The manual valve, throttle valve and pressure regulator set line pressure, the governor pressure solenoid and sensor control upshift timing, and the overdrive and converter clutch solenoids handle fourth gear and lockup. This unit comes with three solenoids, the square governor pressure sensor (the later black rectangular style), the four-blade governor solenoid and the screw-in three-prong neutral safety switch.
The listing states this is a 47RE valve body that can be made to work in a 48RE by transferring your original 48RE rooster comb (the manual valve detent lever). Before you do that, read what Sonnax found: the 48RE pressure regulator raises line pressure about 22 to 28 psi when the converter clutch or overdrive applies, versus about 10 to 15 psi on a 46/47RE, and the 48RE feeds its converter clutch solenoid differently. Shops that installed 46/47RE bodies in 48RE trucks saw them come back with failed converter clutches or overdrive clutches. For a 2003-2007 Cummins 48RE, we recommend a body built as a 48RE, such as our 48RE TransGo valve body for 2003-2007.
Check fluid level and condition, then test the solenoids and sensor before condemning the whole valve body. Our overdrive and TCC solenoid testing guide covers the electrical checks, and our pump failure guide covers stalling in reverse when hot, which is often a pump or cooler restriction rather than the valve body.
The listing calls out 2000-2007 RE-family applications behind the 3.9L, 5.9L gas, V10 and 5.9L Cummins, including Dodge Ram trucks and vans, Dakota and Durango, with superseded numbers 5015647AD and 5015647AE and interchange 22740. It is the closest match for 2000-2002 trucks with the 46RE or 47RE. Match your solenoid connector, governor pressure sensor style and neutral safety switch to the photo, and send us your year and VIN if you are unsure. You can compare every RE part we stock on our 48RE and RE-family collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Despite the listing name, the part is a remanufactured 46RE/47RE (A518 family) valve body with solenoids, governor sensor and neutral safety switch, as shown in the photo.
It can be fitted by moving your 48RE rooster comb, but the 48RE uses different pressure regulator boost and converter clutch feed hydraulics. Sonnax reports 46/47RE bodies in 48RE trucks returning with converter or overdrive clutch failures, so a 48RE-specific body is the better choice.
2000-2002 Dodge trucks and SUVs with the 46RE or 47RE behind the 3.9L, 5.9L, V10 or 5.9L Cummins. Send your year and VIN if you want us to confirm.
Mopar ATF+4 or a fluid licensed to that specification. Change the filter at the same time.
Yes. Set the throttle valve cable adjustment, and confirm the manual lever and park rod work correctly before driving.
