2003 48RE Option??

[BHaner]

So. . Got into a little debate with another member... He says that the 48RE auto trans wasn't an option untill 2004. 5 with the 600 motor.



I know for a fact that it was available in late 2003 with the HO motor.



I know of at least two 03's and one 04 that had this option.



2003 - Mr. Cob DRW

2003 - Muddy's green DRW

2004 - Big Bob's DRW.





Can anyone post up a picture of a window sticker showing it as an option on the 2003-2004 305/555 trucks?

My 2003 with the 305/555 motor with a truck build date of JAN03 has the 48RE trans...

L Rutigliano is correct. My Feb '03 built truck is also a 48RE. Early third generation trucks with the 250 HP engine still had the 47RE, perhaps that is the source of confusion.

build date 4/03. 305/555 motor has the 48

 

[Turbo Kidd]

I have / had 48RE... . It is just a full built tripple disc with all the goodies now... Oo. :-laf

My 2003 SO(250hp) with a build date of jan 25th has a 48RE glove box code: CJ8..... know I'm lucky. I also compared it to my buddies 2004. 5 side by side and wire harness plug ares the same

 

[JJPage]

All the 03 HO models with an auto have the 48RE.

Bhaner add me to that list. Mine is an '03. 5 built in 4/03 with the 48RE. The placard on the side of the valve cover shows 305 HP.

 

[NavyDood]

As the others have said... any 305/555 eng has the 48re.

 

[tazzen]

I replaced my 47(with 130k slipping) with a 48, now I feel special. Was a easy swap and the 48 is a good trans.

My 2003 S. O. California truck has the 48RE

Same here, I owned an 03 CA SO with a 48re

2003's had both the 48 and 47, they simply used up the 47's on the SO's untill they were gone and then started with 48's on everything else.
