The BD Diesel 1064194BM TorqueMaster package pairs a rebuilt 48RE automatic with a matched ProForce 3D triple-disc torque converter and a billet input shaft for 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD trucks with the 5.9L Cummins. The stock 48RE and input shaft were not built for added fuel and heavy trailers, so soft shifts, burned clutches and input-shaft failure become common once power climbs.
BD installs a revised valve body for higher apply pressure, upgrades the governor solenoid and transducer, replaces stock thrust washers with Torrington roller bearings, and adds a billet fine-spline input shaft. Each matched set is dyno tested and ships with a deep aluminum pan and an auxiliary full-flow filter kit. Core required, refundable deposit at checkout.
Key Features & Benefits
- Billet Input Shaft: Fine-spline billet input shaft handles rapid throttle and higher torque loads better than stock.
- ProForce 3D Converter: Triple-disc enhanced-stall converter matched and dyno tested with the transmission for street and towing.
- Higher Line Pressure: Revised valve body targets about 190-200 psi apply pressure without shuttle shifting.
- Increased Clutch Count: Forward 5, direct 6, overdrive 6 and overdrive direct 10, with a high-temp Raybestos band.
- Deep Pan and Filter Kit: BD aluminum pan adds about 2 quarts of capacity; auxiliary full-flow filter kit included.
