Excellent information! Thank you for sharing it with us!!

Nicely done, Lavon. When mine finally fails, you'll be seeing it on your bench. Almost at the 200K mark!

Awesome shop at Firepunk 👍👍

Nice helpful video. I got the ATS channel plate kit in my 2015 cummins with 120,000 miles on truck works wonders

Thank you buddy for your time ❤

the ol transmission shower !! gotta love that !!

Really Enjoy all of your vids. You guys are obviously some of the best out there. Have about 90K on my 2011 H.O. 68RFE , truck has been deleted the past 5 years but running stock tune. (The stock power of the 6.7 does everything I need) Transmission shifts like a dream. Have ordered an upgraded valve body and deeper pan to get ahead of any future issues. With my H&S Minimaxx I can set my line pressure and would you say 200psi is a good safe pressure to run at that won't cause any problems with other components over time? Again, The transmission has always shifted flawlessly and nice and firm, especially after trans tuning when deleted 5 years ago. I am doing the valve body , pan, filters and fluid more for preservation than performance. Appreciate your advice....

Great video

Just had this done on my 07 . Has 100k. Worked fine at first. Now seem to stick from-4 to 5 and 5 to 6. Sometimes I can stomp it down and it will change gear.sometimes just stays in 4 or 5. Shop who did the valve body says not his problem. Had the code so that is why we did valve body. No problems shifting before this

Good work guys

My brother broke his linkage pin off, we took an angle drill an drilled the hole out and made a pin out of a small shoulder bolt, put a nut on the other side and it still works

Wish you guys were on the west coast.

That's so cool

Thanks I enjoyed

Thanks 🙏

🎃 Thank so much. ✌🏼 😎 🇨🇦

Great information. What kind of parts washer did you use to clean up the valve body halves? The 2015 I’ve got here has almost 300K and just started setting the code. Depending on what the pan looks like I might recommend pulling the unit to freshen it up since new fluid is really hard on old high mileage clutches.

What line pressure do yall recommend for these upgraded valve bodies with a fully built trans? I hear people talking about 225 to 250psi but figured yall would know best. Thank you.

These are what REAL mechanics look like! They're hard to find!

Excellent video, question, how similar are the 66’s behind the hemis to the 68’s? And does anyone tune the 66rfe’s?

Man, y’all really know y’all stuff

I work for a Mopar dealership. Unfortunately I can’t install any of these parts. When get p0871 the O.D clutches are smoked with the balance spring cage broken. Under warranty I replace the valve body as we’re not allowed to repair them. The poor matching surface on the case is an issue to.

Excellent information here. What do you guys think about the new valve bodies in the 5th gens? Supposedly Chrysler fixed a few of its shortcomings but definitely nothing like this. Should I consider something like this for my 2019 at its currently low mileage of 30k or wait until it has racked up a bit more mileage? I do have trans tuning.

Would it be recommended for future damage control to get one of these out on my 5th gen? No issues yet but truck is tuned. Thoughts?

Would my 2021 Ram 2500 6.7 benefit from this, or did they "fix" anything in this year's 68rfe valve body???

That parts cleaner though man I need one like that

remove top of pack .increase spring pressure on OD switch.JOB done.

I just had mine rebuilt. The input shaft broke and the case. Im having trouble with the torque converter locking up. The shop that rebuilt my transmission pulled the pan yesterday and said they couldn't find anything wrong. The only time it acts up is when I go to pull a camper. I scanned it while it was running and I'm getting random codes. Could the problem be with the wiring harness for the transmission or the sensors in the transmission

Good afternoon, I would like to know if you have any link or any place that can indicate why we need to change the cup that goes to the springs, could you indicate a link or a store that sells this part

What fluid do you use?

On my 2018 2500 I recently threw the p0871 code while towing my toy hauler. Truck sat over night and I cleared the code with ez link and it towed my trailer fine home haven’t seen the code again but I have noticed a chirp when it shifts. I pulled the cvi data; 2c -48, 4c-53, L/R-64, ud-44, and od-22. Would a valve body fix my 68rfe or do I need to look at doing more?

What size drill bit did y’all use to make the holes?

Do you guys sell this or do the service if someone sends you there stock valvebody

What size drill bit do u use to drill the hole for the plate

I want this done to my 16'. Do you know of any shops closer to Buffali NY that will do this quality of work?

Any idea why my truck always blows the dipstick out 68 truck 100k miles shifts fine no slip no codes but every time I drive it the Trans dipstick is an inch or 2 out

What do you torque all the bolts to?

Why haven’t they put a drain plug on this yet? Or changed this trans altogether

I took my 13’ ram to the shop to get transmission fluid and filters change and solenoid, now the “mechanic” is telling me that transmission has to be reprogrammed because when he changes gears the transmission makes a loud sound, could you provide me any info if what he told me is any true or he install something the wrong way in my 68RFE?

Mine stay in limp mode 3 gear..I changed pressure sensor and nothing have with new fluid

i have a low mile 145k, '09 68rfe. its locked in 4th gear, wont shift. was a sudden failure from normal operation with no abnormal stress. replaced solenoid pack and filters. otherwise clean trans inside. any idea of a failure? Also how important in the small "index" plate surface on valvebody?

Would this be advisable to do to a brand new truck. 2023Ram 2500 with 600 miles on it?

Are these valve bodies available? Don’t see them on the website

Pretty much if u have a 68 replace the valve body no matter what the stock one is junk.

will this run on a 2020 5th gen 68rfe?

What’s the price for something like this.if I do this my self will I have to do a relearn

See I had the code and I hit 6th gear with the code on for awhile but I reset it and I will see if it comes back

Would you have to do a relearn? I have a suncoast billet valve body and pump half for tuneless 200psi and was told it needed to be relearned also wish i didn't spend 1900 on a paper weight that they couldn't do the exact bolts on the accumulator plate and when i asked i was told to read the instructions and u can do it

Can I buy a complete ready to go one from you?

Any flashing the computer or something? For this?

do you have to re-tune the trany if its tuned and deleted or can you just install it?? I have a ATS billit channel plate new accumulator pistons and separater plates??

Does this work with a 1500 2005

Do you recommend changing from 3.42 to 3.73 ratio for 35” tires? Trying to make my mild built trans last. Thanks!

How does this compare to the Revmax vb, and do you ever plan to build and stock a firepunk 68? I know you don’t like them but I’m not sure theres a great alternative for a daily driver who still wants to use the creature comforts like the exhaust break and cruise. Allison/ATS maybe but that’s still new to the market.

Do you use the washer behind the pink spring using those accumulator pistons and plate?

What do you think about remax parts For the 68. Mine has 222000 miles and throws the code P0740. Ck engine light goes on and off the code will either say tcc circuit or no rpm drop at lock up

Where u guy's are located ???

I got a 68... runs fine shifts 1 to 6 perfect...down shifts perfect until 2 to one it clanks. You thi k value body pf clutch 8:18

Where can I send mine to have the valve body rebuilt? I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew cab 4x4 with same code but it is a 545RFE. Is there such a rebuild for this transmission? Great video thanks.

Will that p0871 code come up and this problem happen if that filter is loose or comes off like you talked about early in the video when the pan was taken off

I can hear mine yelling “this is what I need!!” 311k on stock 68. Never been above 210 degree’s. But now I’m having the issues you just described. Did you get a low rail fuel pressure code with this

what is the rubber gaskets on the top of the valve body that mate it to the transmission called?

Do most aftermarket vb’s come with all this already done, so I can just install and forget about it?

Now I know why transmission work is so damn expensive!

Revmax billet vb and done. Simples

I'm getting slipping on my 5th gear and possibly another gear. My transmission is a 66RFE. Is there a chance it could be the valve body? I'm just very reluctant to drag the transmission out my truck if I can tweak the valve body or clean it? In need of help, losing work as my truck is out. Local tranny shops are 3+ weeks behind and are charging insane prices.

Ha its a crack up to see someone torque a oil filter no disrespect just looks funny considering the last time I used my torque wrench was on head bolts.

Good morning, I bough the filter and solenoid kit with gaskets and now the mechanic is telling me that everything is together but that the truck doesn’t move because transmission needs to be programmed again to the new solenoid, so I just want to ask you guys if you guys know if by replacing the solenoid and filters on a 68rfe programming is required or the mechanic did something wrong?

I hate the fact that they don’t have a factory drain plug. Does an aftermarket pan make sense, for this application, especially when you are this far into a trans refreshing for future service?

Is this recommended for the 5th Gens I’ve seen it asked multiple times but haven’t seen a response unless I missed it?

What’s the ballpark cost on those parts and labor. I have the same truck with 128,000. It’s done that three times now. Time to fix it.

What is the cost of this ballpark I have a 17 68 in a 3500 srw 4x4

Inch Pounds? Pretty sure Vacuum is measured in Inches of Mercury (Hg). Just messing Lavon! 😋

I have a feeling the 68s get a bad name because people don't know how to drive with mechanical sympathy

Why use a sonnax valve instead of a transgo valve?

Where are you guys located??

First fifth 👊🏻💪🏻

What about the check balls?

Why is it that videos can never take the extra 10 seconds to show how to unsnap the electronics? That would be my one complaint on this (and many other videos). I spend more time going back and forth between my project and looking at the computer on this more than anything else.

What's the total cost of what just happened there and who the heck could i trust to do that and not completely mess it up!?

Would this be recommended for 5th gens? Multiple sources claim Ram "Updated" the valve body in 2019.

If you will ship to PR I want one for my 2007.5

Will this work on a 65rfe? I'm getting p0871 code?

You all recommend anybody down here in Texas

Y’all need a evac no need for a pan with a drain

What do you guys charge for all this to a vb? I dont see any valvebody stuff for a 68 on the site

Glad dodge doesnt touch Cummins enginers or you be driving from dealer lot to junk yard lot on the same day lol

Too bad the manufacturer of these transmissions doesn’t fix them. I guess they don’t care about their reliability and the quality of their products! Their attitude towards their customers is we don’t care about them!

no man dont do that i did that because of you and it didnt work ....and you dont say anything about the relearn...that s so messed up

Send this video to douch bags at dodge and teach them how to copy your work for 2022 dodge Ram lol oh wait 50k hours and it must break or 5miles after warrenty lol

RFE's are such junk

Great video
