Just picked up a 2018 2500 , found this video very informative and it gave me a good idea on where to start modifications Thank you from La Puente , So Cal !
Love the content brother keep it coming. I want to mod my 2022 so bad but seems impossible lol and been hearing horror stories about ppl having motors go at 100,000 miles I don't lost a 68 at 26,000 miles on a stock truck 4th gear left the chat good helpful info
I've heard the same for the 5th gens too. Best thing u can do it run amsoil some high quality oil. People swapping the 4th gen 6.7s in the 5th gen now. They got tuning for the 22s
I got a 5th gen, just make sure you swap to the CP3 and more importantly replace the heater bolt with the BANKS turbo elbow. Awesome power and peace of mind. Other than that these 5th gen are monsters. I have scale receipts with 38k gvwr no issues in the so called summer in mountains
Awesome knowledge and straight talk, my 2007 6.7 (1 ton dually) has over 1/2 a million miles on the original 68RFE and Engine the truck has been used for years as work-horse doing alot of USA & Canada coast to coast with alot of mountain driving, the truck is used for commetcial hot-shot driving hauling heavy loads thinking more power then stock would be nice and really appreciate tbis truthful knowledge about possibly upgrading the transmission before concedering upgrading (the stock minus cold air-intake) engine please keep up sharing both your knowledge & insight because you are helping directing others in making better and wiser decisions which clearly indicates "you prove to be a possible blessing to others" thank you for your most awsome video's which I'm confident that many others including myself really appreciate really not sure what, Im going do with my work-horse although before doing anything, I will heed to your knowledge and advice, saying this because you asked for comments
Having my 13.5 with 68 rebuilt as we speak. Has 190K miles. I tow often. 10K pound fifth wheel camper and equipment. Smoked it driving through the Adirondacks with camper. Valve body, cooler, billet Tq converter, output and input shafts, tune and more… got 190K out of stock trans with delete and tune. Not complaining… good vid! Good info! Ty
I seen somewhere something about switching the filters attachment thingy , its threaded plastic to be replaced with a metal one , cause the plastic one will loosen up on its own , not sure if thats this transmision or not , i heard it a long time ago , maybe they dont do that now ?
One of the things I think would top this list would be the thermostatic bypass upgrade from stock. Its purpose is to warm up transmission fluid faster and to fully open at 160F. A lot of people misdiagnose a sticking bypass valve as a bad trans cooler, too small of a cooler, or a radiator cooling fan issue. Its malfunction is characterized by above normal transmission temperatures and not cooling off rapidly at idle. During the transmission teardown, there will be seals that are hard and brittle from the thermal oxidization degradation. It takes a very short amount of time for a stuck bypass valve to do a whole lot of damage. The increased temperature typically cooks the plate seals and then burns out clutches. Even worse, the transmission shop servicing your truck may not replace it when they rebuild your transmission so you just have another blown transmission. This is definitely a worthwhile upgrade to any truck at any time but especially if you see your transmission temperatures exceeding 180F (even while towing a fifth wheel camper uphill). It's less than an hour of work and will eventually save your transmission.
@@lecarey96 Nearly every reputable tuner has stopped tuning 6.7s in the past nine months due to EPA pressure. Some do offer emissions on, others just tune 5.9s now.
So far I’ve done a trans tune, deep trans pan, thermo trans block delete and an ATS case brace on my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. My trans runs between 135 and 145 now. My truck is setup for towing my 5th wheel. Stock 18” rims and tires, no lift. Truck is deleted and studded with an open 4” exhaust.
I just bought the converter package 68 from bd with the flex plate and diamond bite shim kit hopefully it’s worth the money I spent...love the content 💪🏾💯 and favorite video test driving the compounds
Damn bro favorite video...? Thats tough there are so many great videos! I would say a lot of your older "how to" videos because it got me wrenching on my own truck which does give one self a prideful feeling of being capable to accomplish work yourself and learn your truck... but also a video that sticks out to me is the one where old boy takes a compressor cover off the turbo and like boars out the silencing ring on the 6.7 Cummins and sends you back the cover and makes the turbo whistle whistle!! I Love the sound of a Cummins but to get that Grunt of the Cummins and the whistle of a duramax on the Cummins i always tought was a cool video and great sound even though it is just kinda of a sound mod...? I guess lol... and i miss the eyelid mod you had on the old headlights the wrap on top. Bet and many more......
Nice brotha! Looking good, and like always thanks for the content. Best vid for me... this is tough but I got two lol: three assurance mods and AirDog install. I just installed my AirDog unit and I can relate to your comment “night & day differences” when compared to stock lift pump.
Nice video bruh on 1500 build, I use my truck for car hauling and it has 215k on 2014 and outta nowhere it started showing p0732 code now it won't move what do you suggest
Thermal bypass could be included in the under $1500

No problem bro!

I regeared my 4th gen. Just like hes talking. I went with 3.73. It pulls my 6000 pound camping trailer so much better.

thinking more power then stock would be nice and really appreciate tbis truthful knowledge about possibly upgrading the transmission before concedering upgrading (the stock minus cold air-intake) engine
please keep up sharing both your knowledge & insight because you are helping directing others in making better and wiser decisions which clearly indicates "you prove to be a possible blessing to others" thank you for your most awsome video's which I'm confident that many others including myself really appreciate
really not sure what, Im going do with my work-horse although before doing anything, I will heed to your knowledge and advice, saying this because you asked for comments

Awsome video
Favorite video.
The one of you explaining everything youve done to your truck.
Thank u bro!!

Are the transgo steel valves good ??
Good one! Great delivery. 4th time listening!

Superb I will be watching this whole video multiple times.
What transmission do you recommend?
Allison 1000 👍🏻👌
Good luck finding any tunes for a 4th gen right now... idk if this just made my truck go up in value or down. 😂
Why do you say that 😕
@@lecarey96 Nearly every reputable tuner has stopped tuning 6.7s in the past nine months due to EPA pressure. Some do offer emissions on, others just tune 5.9s now.
@@monsterram6617 yeah I’ve been hearing about that lately. It really sucks that their doing that 🤦🏾♂️
Great information and video. Thanks for putting in the time on this subject. Hope you have a great day and take care.
So far I’ve done a trans tune, deep trans pan, thermo trans block delete and an ATS case brace on my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. My trans runs between 135 and 145 now. My truck is setup for towing my 5th wheel. Stock 18” rims and tires, no lift. Truck is deleted and studded with an open 4” exhaust.
Where did you go for Trans tune and delete tune? I wanna set my 2012 drw up like yours
Info on all the rev parts you got
Would you recommend any of these upgrades for the gas version?
Naw cus u gonna have a different trans
H&S mini maxx trans tune on my 4th Gen, probably the most noticeable and best thing I’ve done to it, definitely a good idea!
My 2016 definitely doesn't gear search anymore after tuning. Used to be holding at 30 mph it would shift up and down constantly.
Great vid thank you!
Very informative and great video bro
Good video bro as usual !
I always talk about how you live in the area to my buddies, but now for the 2nd time I see your rig and it's at my barracks this morning haha.
Yessir I'm always in that neighborhood haha
Let’s gooooo!
Hell Yeah Brother
Really appreciate this video. Favorite video was the big wheels. The excitement when you unboxed.
I just bought the converter package 68 from bd with the flex plate and diamond bite shim kit hopefully it’s worth the money I spent...love the content 💪🏾💯 and favorite video test driving the compounds

That was one of my favorite videos too. 😁
Favorite video is probably the compound series but also the one where you take out that green box 😂😂😂

Xotic stud install OR ATS plate vid.
Both Good.
Got 3.73’s on my 2012, so I think I’m alright in the regearing aspect. But which valve body would you recommend for the best quality for the price?
Nice video bruh on 1500 build, I use my truck for car hauling and it has 215k on 2014 and outta nowhere it started showing p0732 code now it won't move what do you suggest
I have to say the “ dual cp’ conversion! That was real difficulty there!
You need to wear a mic ...the audio is not great... great video though
👍
Definitely want to see more about your 68 rfe transmission build
