BD Diesel Valve Body Electric Upgrade Kit - Dodge 2000-2007 47RE/48RE
A 2000-2007 Dodge Ram with the 5.9L Cummins and a 47RE or 48RE that intermittently loses overdrive, drops torque converter lockup, or comes back after you cycle the key and then repeats the same fault a few miles later usually has a failing governor pressure transducer, not a bad valve body. This BD Diesel electronics upgrade kit (BD part 1060605) replaces the factory-weak transducer and solenoid with upgraded parts rather than swapping the whole valve body, and it is backed by a 1-year warranty.
Both the 47RE and the 48RE use a governor pressure transducer and solenoid mounted on the valve body to report and control line pressure electronically. The factory transducer is plastic, and it is a known weak point - failures show up more often on trucks running higher line pressure from a performance tune or heavy towing, and a failed transducer can cost you overdrive and torque converter lockup with little warning. Cycling the key often clears the fault code and gets overdrive back temporarily, which is why this failure gets missed or chased as something else before the transducer is finally blamed.
Before you order, pull codes and note whether overdrive or lockup comes and goes, especially right after the key is cycled or the truck sits overnight - that pattern points at the transducer rather than a mechanically worn valve body. Our 47RE pressure control solenoid symptoms guide and 47RE limp mode causes guide both cover how to tell an electrical or sensor fault like this one apart from a hydraulic bore problem that actually needs a full valve body.
BD lists this kit for 2000-2007 Dodge Ram trucks with the 5.9L Cummins running either the 47RE or the 48RE - it is one of the few parts we carry that covers both transmissions, since the governor pressure transducer and solenoid mounting is shared across them. Confirm your truck falls in that 2000-2007 window and is running one of these two transmissions before ordering; if you are not sure which one is in your truck, our 47RE identification guide and 46RE vs 47RE differences guide can help you sort it out, or send your VIN and we will confirm.
This is a bolt-on upgrade to the existing valve body, not a full teardown - plan on roughly ninety minutes with the pan dropped, an inch-pound torque wrench for the transducer and solenoid fasteners, and a careful eye on the wiring clip, which owners report can be fussy to seat. Change the fluid and filter while the pan is down, refill with ATF+4, then clear codes and drive through a full cycle so the TCM relearns against the new transducer and solenoid. If your transmission has other symptoms beyond the intermittent overdrive and lockup complaint - banging shifts, slipping, or a hard mechanical code - this kit will not fix those, and you likely need a full 47RE valve body instead.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It replaces the factory-weak plastic governor pressure transducer and solenoid on the 47RE/48RE with upgraded parts, fixing the intermittent overdrive and torque converter lockup loss that failing transducer causes, without swapping the whole valve body.
Yes, that is the classic pattern of a failing governor pressure transducer. Cycling the key often clears the code and restores overdrive temporarily, and the fault returns because the transducer itself has not been replaced.
Yes - BD lists this kit for 2000-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins trucks with either the 47RE or the 48RE, since both share the same governor pressure transducer and solenoid mounting.
Roughly ninety minutes with the pan dropped. You will want an inch-pound torque wrench for the transducer and solenoid fasteners.
No. This kit addresses the transducer and solenoid, not worn hydraulic bores. If you have banging shifts, slipping, or a hard mechanical fault, you need a full valve body, not this upgrade kit.
Yes, 1-year.
