    Should be able to call local dealership and give them the last 8 so they can tell you. If they can’t call another dealer. There has to be a way in case you needed parts for rear end!

    I would hope so...tag was missing from rear end...so, short of jacking it up in his driveway and and counting driveshaft revolutions while turning wheel, dealer is only way

Plus its a long bed...price just seems kinda high for the miles https://www.route22autos.net/details...-2500/56118470

    I've seen those...but...If I'm getting another automatic I'd rather stay with a 68RFE since I already have a Revmax valve body and ultra low stall triple disc TC, as well as an MM3 that will be getting new tunes from Ray. How reliable were the 48REs? Except for my Duramax, all my trucks have been manuals.

    48re is fine for stock power like the 68 it needs some attention for anything over stock. That is a 4 speed vs 6 in the 68 so 68 is better if you do a lot of highway or 55mph and faster.

    You Just can’t beat the 5.9 with no emissions to deal with/delete and the fuel mileage is way better stock or tuned vs. 6.7

    I drive a few hundred miles a day at 75 mph...plus I already have all 6.7 delete parts, and revmax valve body for 68RFE that I'm pulling off my other truck before insurance takes it...and the new in box revmax ultra low stall triple disc TC that got delivered the day after the wreck...kinda already set up for 6.7
