I WAS TALKING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL DODGE HOUSE AND HE WAS TELLING ME THAT THE NEW AUTO TRANS 48RE IS AN ALLISON IS THIS TRUE

No, it's not true. It's going to be a beefed up 47re and it won't be available until mid model year '03.

Steve,



Are you getting any info as to the "beefed up" parts? I mean, is the 48RE going to be, to the new higher HP engine, what the 47RH/RE is to the current engines? Also, in your article you said that the common rail fuel system that the new engine will have has been in use for the past two years over seas. I don't remember if you said whether there had been any durability problems with the system in that time... ..... are there? Thanks
