I love how they recommend all this extra parts, you have to be absolutely hard core romping on that flex plate for it to break , folks they are stronger then you think
430,000 miles on my stock flex plate.
Thank you . You are the first in your video to say the access holes for torque converter bolts were on the passenger side. Not under the starter holes on the left. I had removed the starter anyway. Also copied the use of breaker bar and 18mm swivel socket to remove . Many thanks again.
Very interested in this build I'm dreading the day my 68 poops out.
I'm ditching my 68rfe in my 08.5 putting 48re been told by multiple shops to swap it yes it cost alot out on the front end but a 68 will constantly keep failing and will end up costing more and always be slower than the 48 just what I've been told still waiting on my computer though for the swap in the process of doing it now
I would seriously consider a RevMax 850. If my trans goes again or if I come into come money, thats what I’m going w/ in the future.
I live in texas and it is 108*+ regularly. Try hanging out in our shop for a few days, you'll want to go back up north with a quickness. But on the flip side I can wear shorts most of the year so I guess its a trade off.
God bless ya!
I absolutely love this!!! The beast is getting fixed!
Getting stocked to see the beast out of limp mode
Watching this makes me want to use these guys for my rebuild!
You should! Great shop
Currently getting 68 built and a re gear I’m running 37s do you recommend the 4.56s or 4.10s ??
Awesome video as always. Definitely taking notes. Dont want my trans to do the same thing. Might have to save up and get the same stuff done.
Thanks Adam!
So glad you are covering this! My 5th and 6th are starting to slip easier and easier when I try to put any power down when I'm on 4 or 5 on my tunes without downshifting. Been contemplating getting a built trans. Might just beef up the one I have though
My 2019 2500 Ram is , as we speak, having the valvebody replaced under warranty. The "fix" for the recall was completed in April, apparently id didnt work.
My guess is cross leaks in the valve body and burned 5&6 clutches. If you or anybody encounter a failure and buy a new trans. stay away from BD Diesel. i just finished up a huge fiasco with their 68RFE. I bought BD's 68RFE, billet shaft and converter and it blew within 28 days and 4,100 miles. My truck is a deleted and tuned with all stock internals 2016 2500 Cummins. That happened JUNE 27th of 2018 and had it in the shop JULY 1st for warranty work. It took BD Diesel 17 days after that to even give approval to send it to them and took until AUGUST 10th to even respond saying they would not warranty it. The cause of failure was a broken Sprag Clutch and they were trying to tell me I was doing HEAVY burnouts or racing which I absolutely was not. I fought them for 9 days on it because they wanted 2700 for the rebuild and 1200 for freight on top of shop labor. I sent them their warranty policy and they then realized they were backed in the corner and decided to warranty it. Its 1:17 AM AUGUST 30th pacific time and my new trans is getting installed today. After all of that they are still trying to have me pay for labor for installation and possible freight (600 each way). Learn from my mistakes and buy a REVMAX! I wish I did. Also you CAN NOT get good trans tuning with BD's 68 because they have a pressure controller that increases mainline pressure and all tuning i tried (through Hardway Performance 5 different times) conflicted and it would not lock the converter until 45mph regardless of gear. All of that aside it may have been a lemon but I still say stay away from all BD Diesel products. Hope your new rebuild does great and lasts a lifetime!
Thanks Devin, I heard about the cross leak problem. I definitely didn’t get anything from BD, we did the overhaul w/ parts from Sonax, Suncoast & RevMax. If it goes again, I hope that I’ll have enough money to get a RevMax 800, but I’m thinking that we should be good w/ my HP & torque w/ the upgrades we did. I’m running HPP tuning & I have the RevMax Valve Body. Again, thank you for the heads up.
Hey Steve. Love your vids. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi 6" lift with 37" tires. I have the same shifting issues as you but i have a 8 speed in mine. Im trying to regear the difs only bad part is Mercedes decided in 2011 to weld the ring gear to the carrier in the 1500. So i have to buy the whole dif for the front an Chrysler only has 3.21,3.55,and 3.92 got any input on this issue?
Great stuff. what is everyone's typical service intervals for transmission, coolant, engine oil, differential, brake lines, etc Changes... Asking because i have a 2017 Hemi with 15k miles on it now, and just wondering what others go by. Yes, i know owners manual, but would like to know other consensus.
Engine oil every 5k on my hemi
jeez man was just thinking over all these videos, man you have dropped some serious cash my man... i might just try to buy your truck since im gonna do all the same mods basically haha... dont worry you can get a new redesigned ram 2500 when they come out haha Ill let you sit on that thought I wont be back from iraq for a while anyway. loving the vids brotha!
Oh man, I’m keeping this truck for a LONG time. I think the wife would kill me if I got rid of it.
i hear ya. aye cant be mad at that lol
430,000 miles of heavy towing on my stock flex plate. J/s
I have a 2013 6.7 4x4 big horn with the 68RFE and work this truck pulling farm equipment locally and on the highway
the truck gets the trans fluid & filters changed every 30k and now has 70k on it and all stock top to bottom
absolutely no problems on with the truck and never had to use the warranty. wasn't your truck still under warranty??
Voided the warranty longgggggg time ago.
Why did your transmission failed?
HAD TO GO REALLY BAD! Ram 2500 68RFE is toast th-cam.com/video/ahhitDL0Rnw/w-d-xo.html
Awesome Thanks !! 😀
Hey what’s up I’m looking to add a mag hytec transmission pan like yours how much oil in total Would it hold.
Good call on the flex plate!
Yeah, I thought just replace it while we have it all a part. I have another goodie that we’re installing & it’s not related to the trans.
Is there any other reason than cost that you didn't go with billet shafts?
Just realized, not to insinuate that you cant afford it lol. Didnt mean to sound like a jerk if I did.
You’re good buddy. 🤣 I’m broke lol
Dont feel bad, I am too lol
I’m curious how that rear end is doing with synthetic oil. Trutrac style LSD’s don’t like synthetic and tend to make noise and not transfer power as well as if you use dyno oil.
Good so far, not noisy at all. We’re going to do a reservice on the rear soon.
Michael Heflin it's designed and approved for the rear end or amsoil wouldn't sell it as an option for that rear end.
dude thanks for ALL of this. I am taking notes on everything for when i start! im gonna look into all the links and people you suggest! side note the intro with heddy lmao
Woa woa take it easy pal! You don’t NEED to do all of these things right off the bet ok
@Garbageman didnt do any of it. Ended up getting the ram trx 😂 don't really anything else with that beast 🔥
Just subscribed good content 👍🏻
Thanks Drew!
Wow. You actually have a few haters. Lol.
To all the haters: Lighten up, Francis and eat a Snickers.
I am purchasing a 2008 with a 68RFE transmission and the previous owner has already replaced the transmission at 136,000 miles, current mileage is at 151,000 miles. Should I reconsider this purchase?
Nah, unless it’s slipping or throwing codes.
@@BEASTProjects thanks
Yo beast master , what did you use for your deletes? Fixin to start deleting my 2014 beast.
Beast Master 🤣 DM on IG.
Guess it’s top secret
Flo pro and 2nd tuner is that ez link
How much is the rebuild costing you?
We’re going to talk about that in an upcoming video.
Nice! Waiting for the next video.
Hey what's up ram beast what the transmission shop recommend?
Chester County Transmissions of course
@@BEASTProjects is the chester county tn?
Well, would you look at that. Just look at it!
🤣
all this trans work, would it have been worth the coin to get the aisin?
I’m happy with my rebuild 68rfe now.
Not saying you aren’t, just asking from a future buyer standpoint
Hope your voting for doctor OZ not that space Cadet
Oh I thought this was going to be an actual video of how to remove it. There goes 10 min.
I got baited, I'm pulling my NV5600 in my driveway for a clutch.....
Metal shavings as normal that normal wear
It was the break in service from the gear swap, so a few is expected. We’ll be checking the rear diff again in 4 weeks.
@@BEASTProjects c
You could've been faster!!! Probably should consult with the Awesome techs at Addys in Myrtle Beach.
Dang you must be getting a kick back from that Amsoil dealer cuz you push it hard in every vid. But if peps wanna pay 4 times more for the samething you can get at wallyworld be his guest.
Your wife is funny.
God damn with the intro.
Never trust what a guy says when he in a shop wearing flops
LOL
for such bad ass tough trucks, these diesels need a shit load of shit. aka repairs, fluid changes . I think I hear TOYOTA calling. Tired of seeing ram cummins breakdowns......and needed upgrades.
I have so much to say but i preffer saying it to ypur face and not on a in a comment but man your annoying when people actually work on your vehicle
Thanks for watching
If I were you I would use trusty Valvoline products
Amsoil sucks is just a knock off brand
Alex Guzman knock off brand of what exactly? I do oil analysis testing and amsoil is an amazing oil. Better than rotella, delvac, mobil 1, etc. We have a 2018 ram 3500 6.7 with 26k hard towing miles on amsoil 5w-40 max duty. All stock emissions and no mods whatsoever. I haven't seen any other oil that can do that!
