48RE Valve Body 2005-2007, new and ready to install. Fits the 48RE. Ships fast from the USA.
2005-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Cummins trucks run a different 48RE valve body revision than the 2003-2004 trucks, built around the throttle valve actuator Chrysler introduced in 2005. If your truck in this specific range is shifting harsh, slipping between gears, delaying engagement, or has thrown a pressure or TTVA-related code, this new OEM valve body is built to that exact 2005-2007 specification rather than an earlier casting that will fight your truck's throttle valve actuator.
The valve body routes line and governor pressure through its bores and spool valves to apply each clutch pack and band on command, and on the 48RE it also carries the TCC and governor-pressure solenoid circuits the computer uses to time every shift. Starting in 2005, Chrysler moved diesel Ram 2500/3500 trucks to a throttle valve actuator (TTVA) that performs a 30-second key-on initialization and requires 48 degrees of actuator span to read throttle position correctly for shift timing - a mechanical and calibration change from the earlier cable-actuated setup. A valve body built for the pre-2005 revision will not read correctly against the newer TTVA, which is why matching the exact year range matters more on this transmission than on most.
Scan for codes first and note whether the fault is a TTVA initialization or span code versus a straight governor-pressure or shift-solenoid code - those point to different repairs even though both live in the valve body area. Sonnax's vacuum test guide for this family maps each 48RE bore to the shift symptom it produces as it wears, which is the fastest way to confirm bore wear specifically rather than a wiring or sensor fault. Our 48RE valve body problems and testing guide covers pulling governor pressure and reading the result, and our 48RE delayed engagement guide is the one to check first if the main complaint is a slow or hard engagement from Park into Drive.
This valve body is built for the 48RE as installed in 2005, 2006, and 2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins and the throttle valve actuator. It is not the correct unit for 2003-2004 trucks, which ran the earlier revision - if your truck falls in that range, see our 2003 48RE valve body listing instead. Confirm your build date and casting marks against the photos before ordering, or send your VIN so we can verify the exact year. The complete 48RE parts collection covers everything else we stock for this transmission.
Drop the pan and filter at the same time as the valve body swap so contamination from the worn unit doesn't carry into the new one, and refill with ATF+4 only - Chrysler's published service fill for this family is 3.80 L (8 pints), with a 14.0-16.0 L (29-33 pint) overhaul fill if the pan and torque converter were also drained. Torque the pan bolts to 120 in-lb and the filter screws to 35 in-lb per the published spec for this transmission family. After installation, let the TTVA complete its 30-second key-on initialization before driving, then clear codes and run the adaptive relearn so the computer re-learns shift timing against the new valve body. If the original complaint included converter shudder rather than a plain shift-quality issue, pair this with a transmission cooler to keep fluid temperature down, since heat accelerates the same bore wear this part replaces.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. This valve body is built for the 2005-2007 revision that matches the throttle valve actuator (TTVA) Chrysler introduced in 2005. 2003-2004 trucks ran an earlier revision - see our 2003 48RE valve body listing for that range.
Starting in 2005, diesel Ram 2500/3500 trucks switched to a throttle valve actuator with a 30-second key-on initialization and a 48-degree actuator span requirement, replacing the earlier cable-actuated throttle valve setup.
Harsh, late, or flared shifts, slipping between gears, delayed engagement from a stop, converter clutch slip or shudder, and limp mode with a stored pressure, solenoid, or TTVA-related code.
ATF+4 only. The published service fill is 3.80 L (8 pints), with a 14.0-16.0 L (29-33 pint) overhaul fill if the pan and converter were drained.
Yes - let the TTVA complete its 30-second key-on initialization before driving, then clear codes and run the adaptive relearn.
This is a new OEM unit with a 1-year warranty, built to the 2005-2007 specification.
