Agreed. EGT's and Torque make a big difference when towing. I have a 2006 Dodge Ram Cummins with the same 48RE transmission upgrades with one exception; I included a Mag Hy-Tec deep pan on the trans to help with trans temps since the trans did run about 20 degrees F hotter due the increased line pressures. I tow a goose neck flatbed hay trailer with total weight at 16,500 lbs. My EGT's run at 1,125 degrees F uphill. One thing you didn't mention is gear ratios impacting towing with managing EGT's and exhaust system. My truck has a 3.73 rear axle gearing, with a 4" straight pipe exhaust (to keep EGT's down). Excellent video!

@jimkillen1065 3 жыл бұрын

Impressive. I not a automatic transmission tech , I been told that the 48 has a bigger front pump and more capacity so adding that to a build on the earlier transmission might help pressure at lower throttle . That and the leaks that are fixed or reduced by the better parts that you installed . I was told to use the 727 filter so that what I use. I know one else would agree but I use 10 wt oil in my transmission for the last 150k miles and it seems to give better fluid coupling butt dyno lol . I did replace the broken anchor in my friend truck when he lost second gear. What a piece of crap lol . Thanks for your videos always like to learn

Geez I’m kicking myself now! 😖. I wish I had ditched my smarty tuner and went with EFI live. When I changed my injectors, I went with +50hp injectors (not sure what nozzle size / config these were), and with the tuning, I was not happy with my EGTs. I never pushed my truck past 1,300 degrees, but on a hot day in Texas and a hot tune, I could hit 1,300 on a run from 70-95 mph.

I have a chance to buy a 2006 ram 2500 with the Cummins and it needs the transmission rebuilt.

I want the transmission to last as long as the engine, forever! Do you sell tunes and parts or just do in shop work?

Ok let’s make another video. On your 06 24 valve common rail tow rig. Install a pulse exhaust manifold, a VGT turbo, the trans upgrade, and a tuner to control the exhaust brake on the turbo. Now does the trans upgrade help hold the load back on the downhill? Now how much turbo can you give me and use a VGT design? What kind of HP/ Torque can you make? Sometimes it’s not about the race, it’s about climbing the hill and saving the brakes.

I have an EFI live tuner and switch but have been hesitant to get it on the truck and get tunes for it because nobody else explains what they do like you have done. I feel very confident in your abilities after this video. I like the real world towing tunes and power gains you showed. And if I can make my transmission live without having to spend $10,000 on it I'd buy it. Do you include the delete in your tunes? I would very much like to get rid of the exhaust regurgitation into the engine at the same time.
