Brian Walk lol true

Thanks!!

Thanks!

The dodge stock transmissions are fine for a stock truck, once you throw power at them they are done. The Ford and Chevy trans's can take a bit more power then stock. Also if you beat on even the best built trans like a teenager it won't last

Wilsons

Thank you

Thanks!

Thanks!

same here...great guys there at Fire Punk!

Going off your name you have the GOOD Powerstroke engine!

They do, but the 68rfe adapter plate is deeper

Appreciate it!

Haven't said, but you can bet it's all 1's and 0's

IDK that is how I got it back from the trans shop, it's a billet upgraded one that's all I know. I like how a built 68 drives too, just not for racing

Aux cooler is a must, stock 68rfe wont keep up

Agreed, tuning is a HUGE factor

My wife didn't like it though, spent about 21k doing the trans along with air/fuel upgrades.

T case input yes, crankshaft is just 13+ trucks I believe.

cummins how do I find them to get my 48 re done

Cummins do you have contact info for that company?

Friend of mine swapped a Manual into his 06 and I got all his left over stuff

The governor pressure solenoid and pressure sensors may be the cause of this, but mind you I am no expert. Muldoon's in DE, I've heard nothing but good things about and will probably take mine to next time I have an issue.

Thanks! I've heard nothing but good stuff about Muldoon's.

Gregory Junior that's just the 48re. Nothing to worry about. Same thing happens to me

Replace solenoids and governor pressure sensor. Cheap easy fix

I have an 05 with a billet TC and a Trans-Go shift kit. It does the same thing. Makes around-town driving a high-stress proposition cause I'm worried that something is wrong. I've been told that it's normal by Suncoast (These guys will have a tech call you back if you call them, unbelievable support, and I don't even have any Suncoast parts), but I still wonder. I've replaced the Governor pressure solenoid and the transducer 3 times because of shuttle-shift and fried solenoid or transducer. Used the upgraded Borg-Warner solenoid. No difference. Last go-round I used the even bigger, heavier-duty Borg-Warner from a GM application with an adapter kit. It makes the Solenoid mount horizontally instead of vertically. Hopefully this will keep my transmission from frying the solenoids/transducers. But it did NOT fix the lurch you describing. I believe the trans is trying to shift into 3rd too soon. My truck does it from 10-25 mph. I wish there was a way to adjust that shift point, but haven't found one that isn't expensive. I even tried a BD pressure controller, which gives the trans more pressure than stock under most conditions. Didn't help. Possibly because my shift-kit already increases the pressure. Anyway, I'm still looking for the fix, or shift-point adjustment.

I don't have any knowledge on Allison swaps. All I know is that most of the competition trucks, ford and Chevy included, use a 48.

There are a lot of Allison's on Cummins motors and they are all happy with them from what I've read. ATS has the conversion kit for the swap.

I doubt it, but dont really know for sure

lilbuckharris still looking for a six speed swap?

I'll buy the 48re

Why waste money on stock junk dodge auto transmissions

@@chrissyeaston5902 'cause they're tough when built..

Restoration West if only they could tune them.. stock they can't hold much of a power bump

That's what sucks, either way you go it's pricey!

To the wheels is how most of the aftermarket transmissions are rated. Installing a lower gear set in my opinion would reduce stress. Many trans companies prefer a change when large tires are ran on a truck

Turba Tom so if I have no real plans beyond a better air intake system & some form of a better performing exhaust & maybe a mild chip my 68rfe should serve me just fine. Right? Thank you for all the info & the help.

Everything I've heard the Aisin is definitely the best choice for a stock truck, especially in a case like yours.

the aisin is 64 percent stronger then all the other brands out there

Yeah it is, the original!

Still runs and tows like the day it left the factory. I dont think I will ever get rid of that truck.

Mark Rich It's seems like the old dodge transmissions are better than the new lol.

47 or 48re would be the easiest

Thanks!

Stick with the 47, 47's and 48's are nearly identical. A 47 can be upgraded using some of the 48 parts, but most won't reach that level

@@TurbaTom Thank you so much! It's always difficult to get honest answers from places that are trying to sell you something so I never go to a gun fight without at least 1 bullet.

It all depends on how it's driven, get in contact with your tuner about the trans tuning and hp goals. If they are reputable they should have way more knowledge then me

Just a BD pan

I am and I'm aware of his quality, when the trans next gets a refresh/upgrade I'm there.

In a performance application, yes the 48 is better. Stock to stock they are equal when compared to the power levels at the time of production

@@TurbaTom ok i was told different but i'm new to this 48re/68rfe. They make an allison that bolts up to the 6.7 now so i think that route for the money would be my choice.

Was in the grey truck then moved it to the white one, it's been in one of my 4th gens the last couple years

That's awesome I just got a new block and brand new everything so I did the 47 swap and pcs

Wildman are you suggesting the Nissan uses the same Aisin transmission as the Ram? The only thing the two transmissions have in common is the name Aisin. Since you’re on a roll bashing the Aisin, do a little research on it before you embarrass yourself. The Aisin in the Ram is made here in the USA 🇺🇸 by Americans. My 2018 3500 Ram is rated at 385 hp and 930 tq thanks to the optional Aisin.

Not at this point, I believe the truck has 3.73's. Though I haven't confirmed, guess we'll see what it does and go forward

Turba Tom I bet it has 3.42, most of them do, I hate that about mine, it is for better mpg, but I put a 2inch lift & tires that r around 33 inches tall if not a bit bigger (metric sizes, go figure) and 17x9 wheels, my truck can drive just fine with these gears but towing heavy, it feels too high of gearing for sure. I am going with 4.10s or lower n the future so I can run 35s, and still tow very easily.

Didn't know anyone had a built aisin out, I think all the modern transmissions are expensive as hell to have built!

Turba Tom type in 850 hp cummins and the guy has one on his truck

Problem is, all the hard parts in the world don't amount to much when the controls are stock. The "built" Aisin still isn't a viable option. And that clown with one on here is dumber than shit. He ain't no diesel god, I promise you that. He posted that "built" Aisin will hold 1600hp hahaha

MoparProud yea sounded a little fishy I was just stating that there is a built Aison trans out there

The biggest problem that I know of with that trans is the lack of a tuning option

So the Allison takes more power from the Cummins then the Duramax? Interesting

Greg Gonz lol mine is tuned and deleted with a stock trans and I never see over 190. But then again I don't drive balls to the wall 24/7 like a lot of people do. Also I've seen a lot of people with a 4r100 swap which I've been told is better than the 48re, mainly because the 4r shifts faster and it doesn't have the huge gap between the 3rd-4th gear swap like the 48re does.

Maybe you should be going the cheap shit I k ow everything way

5r110 stays around 180 with 9000 lbs on the trailer and 447 rwhp empty trans temps were 165. this is in tx where its around 105 most of the time in the summer. just saying i like the dodge truck but i fear the transmission as much as a 6.0 needing studs. but then again like you i dont drive all crazy my truck was never studded and rolled tunes the entire time i had it. if you drive them with care will you still blow a trans running 450 hp?

yea Dodges just magically wins most automotive competitions... Apparently we do it without transmissions.
