Description
Hold a gallon of milk in front of you with your arm stretched out. After a while, it starts to get heavy right? Now make it 80lbs and about $1500. The 48RE Dodge diesel 4WD transmissions from 2003-2007 are known for repeatedly cracking the overdrive housing. The transfer case is mated to the overdrive housing but has absolutely nothing in place to support that 80lbs aside 6 bolts. SunCoast's Transfer Case Support solves this issue with a specially designed steel bracket that installs in place of the lower two bolts (longer bolts supplied) and includes the common GM universal mount.With the constant twisting and flexing of the tail housing usually seen in 450hp+ builds or those who tow regularly, it is not uncommon to see constant leaks from the tail housing where it meets the transfer case. This constant torsional flexing and fatigue cause repeated fluid leaks and damaged housings. By using the factory skid plate, and the GM mount, you have additional support for casing, preventing those damages. What's interesting though, is this kit fits as though Dodge intended a support to be there. The factory skid plate actually has existing holes drilled already. This kit includes a machined steel spacer/washer (fits below the skid plate) with a tapered groove to clear the OEM stamping.Now, if you don't have the factory skid plate, all hope is not lost. This kit can be installed by installing the following parts below available from Chrysler (sold separately): Skid Plate 52022048AH Crossmember 52022046AE Bolts (8 required) 6507342AA

2003 Dodge Ram 2500 5. 9L 48RE Transfer Case Mount

"Now my new transfer case is as solid as the Diesel and Auto Trans mounts. Easy installation, solid results. The more HP the more drivetrain support is essential. It's like adding an insurance policy for my new transfer case."

SUNCOAST 48RE TRANSFER CASE SUPPORT 03-07 DODGE RAM 5. 9L CUMMINS ( MUST HAVE )

"Must Have For All 3/4 & 1 Ton Owners, This is a great kit for helping strengthen and improve reliability of your Dodge Ram drivetrain that Chrysler should have done in the first place. I had to order the cross member ( OEM# 52022046AE ) and skid plate ( OEM# 52022048AH ) and then source the bolts, 8 total, ( OEM# 6507342AA ) from a third party bolt supplier because the Dodge dealer said they are no longer being stocked. The bolts are : M8 x 1. 25 x 30, you officially need 8 bolts but I got a bag of 17 with shipping fairly cheaply. Shop around for the cross member and skid plate or check your local salvage yard. Take your time with the install and be careful torquing things down. Especially the two bolts that come with the kit. This is a must have to add to the list of things to beef up your truck if you plan on keeping it for a long time. Even the mechanics at my local Dodge dealer liked it and are going to look into the kits for their customers. According to the transmission shops this is a great preventative step for Dodge owners. . . wonder when Chrysler if ever is going to submit a bulletin about this upgrade. . . . ."
