Cody down at superstick just got my nv4500 back to me for my fummins project. It’ll be my second trans from them, the first being a g56. 10/10 highly recommend
Been meaning to do atleast a VB/Deep Pan also, but with money how it is now.. it’s just hard to make myself, since there’s no current issue with trans. Maybe I’m the owner of one of the 1% of 68s that can handle outrageous numbers, all stock. (LOL: KNOCK ON WOOD!)
Where can we order an Ethan Patterson valve body and is the one you put in specific for towing or how can we order the same one? I need to do the exact same upgrade to my 68RFE so this video was perfect...thanks guys!
I hope not to need anything else for my 68rfe other than tunes when I get rid of the h&s mini maxx. That's a sweet looking vb though. I will be excited to see how it holds up with more use in the future. Hopefully you can update us at the next fluid/filter change for it.
I just rebuilt my 68rfe myself. The Casing cracked from pan all the way around to the pan. I put the bd diesel kit with the extra od/ud clutches and dpc triple converter. Truck doesn't feel like the power is making it to the tires. I couldn't even tell I put that converter in it. The bd diesel valve body plate makes you drill a hole in the valve body I'm wondering if that is bleeding off my line pressure
I have a 2010 6.7 with 130,000 km on it. Young guy who had it before me tuned it and ran the shit out of it. I had it a week and got some bad shifts and some slipping. Is it worth upgrading my stock tranny or just getting a built one
I have a question I've been out of the diesel truck market for quite a while looking at buying a new one what kind of tuner or readout do you have there on the dash and do you have to do anything extra to see the line pressure
I would consider doing a valve body on my 08 but I don't have a scan tool that can do the re-learn, and the amount that you need for a scan tool that can do that is just ridiculous
I just had a high dollar Suncoast 68 and converter put in my 14...notice it has a flare up or converter locking issue when lightly accelerating ? Any ideas ??

@@horsetorquesdiesel thank you for the response but whats the most boost/hp you would daily drive arp2000 on? would it be better to just get the 625’s off rip
Yes absolutely it's fine. That's actually low, when you get to working it hard like a mountain pass 230-250 is normal. My car runs 230-250 oil temps to run more emission friendly. So don't sweat it!
I’ve been a mechanic for over 35 years and I did not know that for a long time I used to leave them off most of the time until one blew out on me I just thought you’d like to know I’m one of them people who loves to keep learning something everyday if possible can’t get enough. Your doing great keep it up love watching your video’s seen them all
I can live without a drain plug, but what really really pisses me off is a lack of dip stick! My BMW is all electronic and it's fuggin annoying never knowing how much trans fluid I have, gotta pull the transfer case to access the damn fill hole and finger it lmao.
@@horsetorquesdiesel Ive used merclll before as a top off but never as a complete fill. Well i lied i did do it once with a lube gaurd fluid converter.
How hard is it to put a drain plug in it, I swear the engineers had to sit down and smoke crack before designing these trucks, my 2007.5 6.7 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, I've changed so much crap to make things easier to work on. From completing an entire delete, new Black Market Fuel Filter swap out for that junk Plastic Fuel Filter that ended up leaking. New GR Diesel Valve Cover to delete that stupid CCV Filter, a complete AC System, and a few other mods, the next thing is to install the REVMAX Valve Body, get rid of that stupid Plastic Nippele that broke off and helped ruin my Transmission at 188,600mi that I had to replace so I bought the PPE Filter and Steel Nippele, next is a new Transmission Cooler and lines.

Thanks for watching
Get it man, Good on you guys for striking out on your own Wish you the best. Its a hard road to go Good shit as always
Thank you
Ethan built my 68rfe trans a few years ago. ZERO issues ever since. Great guy with an awesome product.
Good to hear man!
hell yaa man nice to see your shops boomin ! keep kickin ass !
Thank you
Glad you have the balls to call out companies for pour designs Devil Dog! Keep pushing forward, love the content!
Thanks!!!
Pour
Hell Yeah Brother 🇺🇸🦅
Nice video. This looks like a decent valve body 👍🏻
Thanks for giving me something to watch at work lol
I leave the front 4 bolts in the pan. Then pull apart from the back comes out way cleaner & drains nice & easy
Great Video Josh!!! Keep me posted on the Open House!
Will do

thx brother
I put the same pan on my 68rfe. It now holds 14 quarts. It was almost 10 with the stock pan. 2015 ram

@@horsetorquesdiesel how's it holding up if you still have it
that is a good start. unfortunately you are going to need a lot more upgrades than those.. thanks for the video..
This is why im looking towards a newer 3500 Cummins so i can get away from the 68rfe and try out the aisin
The bypass is a must 17 degrees cooler
You can add a drain plug kit to your stock trans pan for about $10. Available at most auto parts stores.
You forget some people can’t weld or know what a tap is

Second time seeing the video I want to do this upgrade super bad for have a2017 Cummins it’s a automatic transmission
After doing the upgrade, does the trans still have that hard downshift with the engine brake on? Great video!
👍💪

I have a question I've been out of the diesel truck market for quite a while looking at buying a new one what kind of tuner or readout do you have there on the dash and do you have to do anything extra to see the line pressure
Edge CTS 3 and it’s tuned with EFI live
I would consider doing a valve body on my 08 but I don't have a scan tool that can do the re-learn, and the amount that you need for a scan tool that can do that is just ridiculous
We offer quick relearn for 50 bucks if you are close by. If not very cautious driving for the first 100 miles
That license plate is that b&m motors in tompkinsville ky?
Think heat wrap or something look cool on them lines or braided AN line kit
Maybe when the oem stuff fails. I know fleece makes a nice line kit
Are they closed? Been looking for a valve body myself.
It’s the drain plug for the win. The stock one sucks
230 psi line pressure has no detrimental effects (like ballooning) on the stock torque converter?
Not from what I’ve been told
I just had a high dollar Suncoast 68 and converter put in my 14...notice it has a flare up or converter locking issue when lightly accelerating ? Any ideas ??
I’d log it and send it to your tuner to check TC slip
Will that valve body work with stock, tuning i have to be stock for a week or 2 every other year
Yes it just won’t give the added pressure. I believe Ethan or revmax offer a tuneless option as well
So my question is does changing those items throw a indicator light on the dash board? I hate check engine lights on all my vehicles.
You have to do a shift lever and trans re learn with a scan tool
What's the price on the VB and will it be the same for my 2019? Hope the business is doing well!

Did you just drain the oil from the pan before switching to dex/Merc? Converter still filled with atf4?
Yep
@@horsetorquesdiesel OK I'll do that. If my trans goes out, I'll unsubscribe. Lol
would it be ok to remove the return line and run the engine on idle in neutral for 30 seconds to empty out the pan ?
Would not recommend that

@@gregmaggert8561 about two months after I purchased it used it went out. Two owners before me and I think one pulled a larger RV.

Would you have any idea where aluminum in your oil would come from on a 3rd gen 5.9
Pistons are the only aluminum I’ve seen in oil
Ok thanks
Why is your pressure dropping to 50 psi? Mine never goes below 90 and Ethan said he only sets his units to 200 psi why are you so high?
Can you use those thermal bypass units for the 6.4l hemi with the same trans
And can you use the whole valve body kit on it to

Where do you guys locate?
A you gonna have beer bong trike drags
Coming soon 🔥
So with this mod what hp can you run with out blowing the transmission?
450-500 when used correctly

Did you need a different tune to run this setup or just the stock file
You need a re tune to get the higher line pressure

Is it normal for your oil temp to be 200F? I saw it on your tuner and that seemed high to me. Maybe it’s normal though
Yep, ... believe it or not 170-205 is common, I thought the same thing when I first got my truck, it kinda worried me at first.
Yes absolutely it's fine. That's actually low, when you get to working it hard like a mountain pass 230-250 is normal. My car runs 230-250 oil temps to run more emission friendly. So don't sweat it!
