Just a thought, but when driving the bushings in without a driver, you can use the old bushings.

[@hugh_hancock]

It definitely helps driving it the last little bit if it’s recessed, I like to use something flat that I can beat on in the center instead of tapping around and around the old bushing

What am excellent video you explained everything about endplay all the way thru even disassembling it to correct end play which is the most important part of an auto trans get it wrong and they don't last long at all considering it's not that tight if a tolerance. Compared to other things. Just a great video thank you.

Thanks for watching!

The biggest mistake Dodge ever made was bolting a 4 speed transmission to an industrial engine. No matter what you do to that 4 speed it is still a 4 speed when that small rpm range engine needs at least six.

[@hugh_hancock]

Six speed would be nice, but some of those guys sure can build the 48’s to hold some serious power! Thanks for watching!

@@hugh_hancock for competition the 48s these days can hold tremendous power but for every day use it needs more gears. I have a G56 and sometimes wish I had 7th or 8th gear

[@joesalazar770]

There's a couple conversion out there with a Eaton ranger trans behind these. A standard is the best for towing or sliding but in competition there is always weak link at some point the record was I think I'm the 2022 truck challenge a 6.7 Cummins 3400 rear wheel horse power and around 3300 foot pounds of torque don't know if it was corrected or not but defanatly impressive build. I use mine for heavy towing and a 48re is not what I want it's good to go fast but hard towing gets it hot. Heavy towing in the 35k to 40 k range tuff on a pickup not impossible but not for everyone either. Be safe always.
