He hasn't made a video in years, but I still enjoy learning! Hope he's still healthy and happy.

Damn, this guy can do this stuff with his eyes closed! I would definitely trust him with work!

Awesome video! He literally completely tore-down and diagnosed the 48RE in under 30 minutes!

Hello Hiram, thank you for posting this video. You are very generous with your knowledge. I am taking an auto transmission class at school and the instructor used one of your videos to show us how things are done. Thank you for sharing good knowledge!

Fantastic. Thank you for posting these videos, and taking the time to show us folks what it takes and the skill/knowledge it requires to rebuild these things!

You are so at ease that you make something complicated look easy. Thank you for for sharing your vast knowledge.

Thanks for taking your time to make and explain the rebuild process in this video, I really learned something new from this. Now I'm not so nervous on trying to build mine.

Man, this video just took it home! Very well step by step explanation of every part of the breakdown. Of course it would still take me 3 full days to do it, but at least I'd know where I'm at! Thanks for posting Hyrum!

I learned so much from this 29 minute video. He really knows his shit. Explains everything precisely. I'm hoping that he has more dodge transmission videos in his playlist. Thanks for the amazing video.

Great video! The amout of knowledge you share in your videos is next level. People all over the world pay to learn this info. Thank you!!!

Hiram, thanks a ton for this video. I appreciate both your knowledge that you share and the simple fact that you visually show how to disassemble everything. I have read a lot of write ups but they skip out on some of the details. Also I must say, watching you tear apart this transmission was very entertaining. You just absolutely whipped through that SOB! I WISH I could yank snap rings that quickly.. Perhaps I need to work on my technique. Again, awesome video, I watched every second. You get my vote.

Just watching this video i would trust you 100% with my Jeep. I wish there was somebody in the UK that seemed as proficient as you are. Great video.

What a Talented guy! Definitely knows his shit!

You can tell this guy knows what he is doing. Great video!

Awesome Video!!! You are by far one of the best!!! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

Hiran , you know these transmission like you designed them. You are an asset to any shop. Thumbs way up.

Hiram!! YOU are the MAN !!! Thanks for the instruction!

Hirum I just want to thank you. I've got a little over 20 years building under my belt, but i'm here to tell you that you've taught this old dog some new tricks on several occasions.

Love your work . Learning a lot from you . Cheers from Australia

Thanks allot for this vid.... I have a Dodge Dakota .. V6 ... with a 42re ... that was toast ... I'm a mechanic ... but always stayed away from transmissions ... so...I went and got a rebuild kit... also with a jr shit kit ... and as long as you take yr time and remember what you took off... and the order... it was actually pretty easy... so... I even went to wreckers and picked up a other one ... that had broken snap rings... picked it up for 50 bucks... and did a rebuild on that one to... just so I had a spare ... so much thanks again... Jay

Wow, what a pleasure to watch someone who REALLY knows his job ... Excellent , one of the best of many I have watched on KZfaq. I must now look to see if there is one putting it back together...

Because of Hiram I tackled my 4l60e and rebuilt it in my home garage. I've put 3500 miles on it and happy to say going strong. Thank you sir,

I really enjoy your videos, You do a tremendous job.I always learn something new when i watch your videos!

thanks what a great insight..You my friend are incredible, the way you know your way around transmissions..I really enjoyed watching..

A true master. It looks like he’s gutted a moose. Lots of parts. I’m getting my 47RE rebuilt I hope they do as good as a job as u do. That amount of work is worth $2000. Great video thank you.

Just got a 46RE apart. My 4th gear servo spring was broken. Thanks for the info on that part of the transmission. Great videos!!

Great educational video! Thanks for taking the time to explain the fuction and reason for failures.

Love the videos. You are very informative and explain what you are doing very well. I like to be as self staining as I can and your videos will help me to achieve that. Thanks, Ken.

very nice video Hiram keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Great video Hiram ... thank you for making. My service truck is down and I'm trying to decide what to do. 05 Dodge Ram diesel with 300k miles. Gets 26 miles a gallon....runs great still..I've drove it like grandma and grandpa from day one with occasional light pulling...lol.Again thank you for this video. I may tackle it now after watching. God bless you my friend.

Ok i know this vid is old but from a guy who has done hundreds and hundreds of these transmissions i have to say this is a perfect tutorial for tearing down and inspecting basicaly all dodge from 42- 48re. when the unit was dumped on its side and the fluid ran out i could smell it or maybe that was the smell of the one i did earlier today lol. Great vid.

video is awesome! Thank you for posting!

The best jobs Hiram e o melhor , Os mecânicos brasileiros te agradecem pelas aulas. you are the best

Great video, very informative. Was nice to learn the difference of the three units.

Awesome video man ! Really helped me out .

This Guy Is Crazy!!! It's Insane Work But He Has The Mind To Tackle The Job. :)

great video on the details of the transmission

Great video. I got the message that I ought to take my truck to a professional.

muy buen trabajo Sr Gutierrez

Hiram, thanks for sharing your transmision knowledge. I respect your expertise and truly am grateful to have found your videos on this subject. If you ever get a chance to do some more jeep 42re tranny teardown and rebuild videos Id be sure there are others that would appreciate you sharing your transmission wisdom. Be safe and well. Live long and prosper!

Excellent video. Very informative. Thank you!

Awesome video

You've saved me alot of grief with these videos!!

Your knowledge is very impressive.

Awesome vid!! 👍👍👍

Very informative, great video

hiram this is the fire depatment as u are so good,when u use ur tools they get red hot,superman complained,even he cant go as fast as u,this could possibly cause a fire. other than that u are a superhuman this is just a warning .excellent

Outstanding.

Great job 👍

I appreciate this video

great job! thank you!

thanks, this was a great video

Awesome Your videos are very detailed. Definitely worth the time. Please make one on the 48Re 4-Speed Automatic w/OD. For a Diesel.

Great video,,,you really know your trans,,,I have 96 dodge 3500 dually trans thats needs to be rebuilt and this video is a great help. thanks!

Real good video.

Great video...💪👍

You rock Hiram. One of the best teardown videos on the web. I wish we were related so you could be here for my rebuild. You hammered that teardown out like a pro. Thank you for such a high quality video. I am doing a complete overhaul and upgrade on my 47re in my 97 Cummins with Red Eagle frictions and Kolene steels. what other parts besides the rollers/sprags or wavy snap rings would you suggest replacing while I have it all apart. I am putting a billet input in there also. All new Torrington bearings, billet pistons, etc? I really appreciate your input and feedback, thank you in advance Brother. I want this tranny to be solid on a moderate budget without sacrificing durability. 298,000 miles and I believe it was rebuilt once already by Jasper Transmissions.

Awesome video.. I would have gladly paid money to see it or buy it as a dvd. Id like to have knowledge when I take my 06/srt-10 in to the shop/dealer. Great explanation, description of parts..symptoms.. just fantastic! Thank you!

keep up the good work you're know your stuff thank you v.t.

Nice video thank you

AAA+++ Very Good Video. Thank You Hiram !

Perhaps one of the BEST on-line tutorial videos on KZfaq. To the point, informative and no music. Thank you for that. Although it would be nice to see the valve body also included. Question, how can I tell if the torque converter needs replacing, or does one just install a new one with the triple clutch set-up to be safe since its all apart anyway? Thank you.

Great vid. Ty

This guy is a professional.

thanks for share your knowlage

Buenos días amigo! Primero que nada quiero felicitarlo por su trabajo, son pocos las personas que se toman la molestia de ofrecer un material informativo como este, bien sea porque son egoístas o simplemente piensan que les puede pasar como a los Magos si revelan sus secretos, pero usted lo hace y es admirable, soy de Venezuela, donde muchos reparan Transmisiones Automáticas, pero pocos saben su funcionamiento, o desconocen el porque de las cosas, me imagino que este problema no solo es en mi país. La situación es la siguiente, tengo una Venta de Repuestos, y al momento de vender partes eléctricas como Solenoides o Sensores los clientes piden garantía, que no les puede ofrecer, porque la mayoría de estos productos son importados de los Estados Unidos y los proveedores extranjeros no dan garantía por ellos, ahora bien, sabemos que con un multimetro podemos verificar la continuidad y resistencia en ohmios, pero existe la posibilidad de probar el funcionamiento en físico, por ejemplo, me ha pasado mucho con el Solenoide Gobernador de Presión #4617210, y el Sensor Gobernador de Presión #56041403AA; ambos nuevos y originales por Mopar, en estos caso, ¿hay manera de demostrarle al cliente que el repuesto no presenta falla? ¿Que me recomienda? Saludos! Espero su pronta respuesta, y si puede hacer un vídeo seria buenísimo.

Awesome video bud. Great work and explanation. you can work on my trans anyday.

Best 48RE video on youtube! Now, if you only had one to put it back together. I have the ATSG book but there's nothing better than a video refrence. There is another guy on here that has a video of putting one together but he says "that shouldn't matter" or "i'm not gonna worry about that". Not exactly what I want to hear.

that was cool!

love how thorough you are in explaining what and why you're doing things.just bought a 01 ram 2 wheel dr w/5.9l 24v cummins think it has the 47re auto behind it has 221k on it thinking about rebuilding but just want to beef it up a little would like to up the horse power 50 horse or so what kit would you suggest pull a older heavy bumper pull rv and 18 ft car hauler lumber ect..nothing big and would i have to replace torque converter and do alot to the valve body?

Just rebuilt my 48re from an 05 srt10 , direct drum would not come off, I pried of the two drums to remove the snap ring, removed the drum ,the clutch and steels where coned shaped, , band was as bad as the one shown, new bw rebuilt kit, new band , all electrical parts new . It was not as bad as I taught , take it by parts, used this video, also check out his valve body video,

this its good tutorial for me my dodge ram 2006 3500 2wd 5.9 got the overdrive extension housing cracking and licking lot oil tanks bud

Man.. To say you know these transmissions is an understatement. I have a 48re that won't come out of torque converter lockup. Replaced tcc, gov press. solenoid and transducer.. No luck. Anything else I can check with the pan dropped? Keep up the good work!!

it is a excellent video do you have one for the same transmission how to put iit back together please

thanks

You're right. All Vipers are manuals unless some owner somewhere modified one to be automatic. But technically speaking, the quad cab SRT 10 is the only factory configuration where the Viper engine was mated to an automatic.

Nice work,I notice the 48s 2nd gear apply lever ratio change from 3.8 to 4.4 when it was the 47 has had a pretty big affect on the band life...IBM thinking the ration change isn't allowing the band to release fast enough,on the 2/3 shift,causing very short band life even in a stock application without abusive driving.

muchas gracias de ante mano por tomarte tu tiempo y responderme, creo que los codigos era p01474 algo asi perolo raro era que lo yeve a 2 lugares diferentes y me decian hay que rebildiarla pero nunca me sono rara la trasmision y nuca hiso ruidos mas simembargo tenia el check engien on

bad ass video

Hiram Gutierrez gracias x enseñarnos "maestro" God bless you, me gustaria felicitarte personalmente saludos desde Virginia.

What brands of transmission repair kits do you use I'm working on my 48re need some help I need some suggestions please

I was curious to know of any big difference in disassembly of a 42re versus the 48re. I wanted to get a spare unit to practice on and maybe upgrade the internals a little bit. If you had any suggestions I would love to hear them. Great video with loads of information +1

I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 v6 with a 42re transmission. Why does a transmission does not shift to second when it is cold outside. As soon as I drive truck for at least 10minutes, I shifts and then it keeps shifting perfectly until it gets cool again.

cool nice

I've got a 4" slightly wavy snap ring from a 47re core and was wondering what it was for on these transmissions.

hi Hiram i took off the extension housing off a 00 durango transmission know i cant put it back on can you show me how to put an extension housing back on please

awesome video but now you need to show us how to put it back together with some performance mods!!

I have a 48re with 30k on the rebuild and it lost overdrive. So I replaced the shift solenoids gov. Pressure solenoid, transducer, speed sensor and the spring you mentioned that breaks. Still didn't have overdrive and there are no engine codes.i tryed forcing in overdrive by grounding the #6 pin wire to rule out ecu issue and still no od.i put a pressure gauge on the overdrive port and I only get 25 psi .so I was thinking it would be the overdrive piston seal but not sure. Any advice would be appreciated. great videos by the way

thanks you for the video, very good information, this is awesome i would like to know if somes gear are weaker than other, or they will burn always equally why they are all burned ?? did the guys just rage drive his truck to finish hit this transmissions ?? hahaha is the truck is driveable at this points , with minor shift problem, or this is well beyond maintenance (sry im not english) thank you!

How do you remove the band lever that the band strut attaches to? Mine broke and your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Quad cab version of the SRT 10. Its the same automatic used in the cummins diesel setups of these trucks.

Hi I like the video :) I have Dodge RAM 2500 2003 Cummins with a 47re that needs a rebuild, the oil looks bad and I found parts of a big snapring in the pan. Since I live in Sweden the workshop has to order the parts from US and that can take weeks, but I could get a 48re from a 2004 with low milage on it and the question I have is if you know if I could just take the 47re out and replace it with this 48re, all the electric connections are the same.

buenos dias hiran tengo un problemita con mi trasmision y es el siguiente : el carro camina muy bien pero siento que si lo aselero pierde la fuerza , le puse la maquina y el resultado es selenoide trasmision fail is open y tambien el convertidor , mi mecanico dice es tengo que rebildiarla dime si tengo una salida mas economica o si esa es la unica alternatiba.. gracias hiran

is there any difference in the disassembly from this unit to a 4wd 48re unit other than removing the transfer case

Miss your videos

Hey am from the Republic of TrinidadandTobago I've watched your video because am in search of answers on transmission problems. However heard you highlighted a problem with Soidnoid Valve... After doing a diagnostic check I found out the (16-line pressure soilnoid valve) is the problem... i wanna find out what is causing the problem and what should I do...And would this just prolong the life of the transmission temporarily...

I'm currently tearing down my 48re from my 05 srt-10. So far all my hard parts look ok except the front clutch hub assembly which had clutch plate gouge in the splines. currently thinking I should replace the bellville return spring because of the impressions marked in it from it being used. I have another bellville return spring that looks different. My question is will it be a good replacement for it. BTW i cant find the exact one i have.

Look I can change spark plugs and I think i'm good....lol. This Man is a trans magician ! Where can I go to learn transmission rebuilding. He needs to open a school. I'd like to see a REBUILD video. and how all this goes back together.

Hiram, what about 42RE transmission, make a video, have hard time to install the valve body back on place

I have a torque converter heat exchanger that has gone bad on my 2006 dodge cummins, I was going to try and flush the transmission but am afraid it will still need a rebuild. can you tell me if you think a flush will work? if not what you think the cost for a rebuild on it?
