@@samxware usually short runs on anything with a reservoir are worse for because it doesn’t have enough time to cook all the moisture out of the fluid, getting up to operating temp and staying there long periods is better
Maintenance is the KEY. I do partial flush every 20k-25K and a full flush 100K only with synthetic oil and trans additive. Maintain clean anti-freeze fluid that helps to keep engine and trans run cool. I never had any problem with my auto trans.
Question on the factory TCM for the 68, you mentioned it being tuned separately from the engine. Is that a 6.7 ECM/TCM working in unison or is that 68 controlled completely "stand-alone". I'm following your content in hopes you get a 68RFE behind a 5.9 so all of us 4 speed geeks can add a few gears.
We are using the factory ECM (CM2100) and factory TCM from a 07.5-09 truck for the race and dyno trucks. These are the only 68 equipped trucks with a separate TCM. The later trucks have the TCM integrated into the ECM. With the separate TCM here we can flash it by itself to make transmission changes and not have to worry about reaching out to our engine tuner for trans revisions we want to be able to make on the fly.
@@ricoj3056 YUP .... I dont think they are gonna answer .. My same question 2 weeks ago .. So my question to all - If they can't answer you on TH-cam after posting a video ..Do you really think they are worth dealing with.
@@rustynutzclassicrestorationsthat's why there is a core charge. Yes you buy their transmission the one of your choice that's already built and you send yours back and then your refunded the core charge.
I would never install them dry ... I know its a bit messy on installs .. but I know they are pre-lubed and less chance to wear quick. Let's put it this way .. This company may do it .. but I will never install without soaking my clutches. The manufacturer of the clutches even say soak them .. I dont like them exposed to the elements either hanging on a rack .. I like my stuff covered and protected till they are ready to use

My 68rfe got to 322,000 miles before it lost 4,5,6 and it was so loyal it still got me home with no converter lock and 1-3, I wasn’t even mad
How often did you service it?
@@ron6575 I changed fluid every 30k and filter at 90k
@@ron6575 forgot to add that I was covering long distances also not much short tripping
@@chadwilcox1077are short trips worse for this trans???

We know your Cummins will last a lifetime but the transmission attached to it...that's a different story!

"When you blow up a 68RFE"

Great I need work on my rfe68 I do pull heavy loads
@@daviduruqi5507 What is your current HP and do you plan on adding any more in the future?
Could you still tow 15k pounds on a stage 2 transmission
With our stage 2, you absolutely can!
Couldn’t make it ten seconds into the video with the air blasting.
Shop life lol
can’t you just buy an upgraded transmission for cummins?
I would like to know this answer also ... buy their stage 2 transmission and send our core back to them
I’m waiting on the price for the stage 2 including core

You can convert it to an Allison transmission. All problems solved.
Want to make an RFE last? Simple, dont use it.
Want to know what works? Ask people that use the truck as it was intended to be used, for WORK@
Well, what works??
Do trans builders no longer soak clutches in atf for a little while prior to final assembly?

Its good to do it but it really dont make a difference. Once your pour fluid in it soaks up like a sponge.
so the clearances will change afterthe clutches adsorb fluid. hmmmm
