Fixing the Dreaded Cummins 68RFE... 

Thank you, Mike, for the continuous support!

Thanks! Always afraid of making vids like these.. don’t want them to be too boring 🤣

What’s the cat filter mod??

Appreciate it I’ll have to look into it!

does tuning a stock trans help a lot as well?

@@nate.hanlon Tuning a stock trans helps a ton. Don’t got any higher than 170psi on line pressure until you get a better valve body.

Thanks for watching!

Heck yes 🤘🏼

Hah you right!! Thanks man!!

Do you have an IG? Can send you the photo of which one! Honestly can’t remember the number but have a photo of it.

Did a proper PI relearn through the dealer software

Stock trucks shouldn’t have any issues like this.. once you start pushing power I’d recommend an upgrade!

I bought a solenoid pack from Revmax as well. And yes, had to perform the PI Relearn. It’s done with dealer software. Thankfully my diesel shop had access.

@@JohnWargo93 Yes, that my headache now.....

Honestly it’s pretty nice. Shifts a lot quick and definitely feels more stout. I’m happy with it. Also. Trans never gets above like 155 degrees towing. Stays around 135ish just daily driving empty.

Good to know. I'm looking at doing something very similar but on a smaller budget. Thanks for the data.

You have an Instagram or Facebook I can private message?

Would like some info as well. Have all the same issues and same things done to my 19. I don’t have a Facebook or instagram.

@@jessyfew9631 I’m thinking it’s just gonna take time. I’m thinking maybe ram needs to do a quick relearn from their 50k$ device. I’m just scared to let them anywhere near my OBD. Or it’s tuning which is gonna take time for enough of us to complain about. I was also thinking of calling calibrated power or PPEI who only do emissions compliant tuning, but they invest big money into tuning and may have some insight.

Mine is getting ridiculous with dropping into 4th gear at 70 mph. It is happening every 500ish miles now. I have all the weight loss parts on mine. I have thought about having the recall done where they replace the valve body separator and then reflash the truck to see what happens. Not much difference from 18’s to 19’ except tuning and new facelift from what I understand. I do agree with you about letting them plug into the obd… I’d rather people with actual knowledge be the ones to do that. I’m not sure if you guys are having this issue or not but it has a tap to it as well. Almost as if the lifters are tapping. It’s done it since 10k miles and doesn’t seem to be getting better or worse. I use the cummins endorsed oil every time but use 15w40. I believe the book calls for 5w30 or something close. I will try switching it next time to see if that helps but I have my doubts. I baby this truck for a deleted truck no burnouts ect just pull trailers but not pushing it at all when it comes to hills just letting the truck do its thing. Sad we all spend 50k-80k+ and are having so many issues

@@jessyfew9631 hey man you MUST use 10w30 unless it’s below 32 degrees on the norm and it calls for 5w40. Numerous people who run these 5th gens attest to that. Check out PD Diesel power’s RU-vid channel. He had a fleet of 5th gens for hotshot and says 10w30 is what they need. This should quieten or get rid of the tapping. It will happen for the first 10% of a fresh oil change mainly at high idle due to the nature of the hydraulic lifters. After that mine goes away running Valvoline premium blue 10-30. I’ll find the video and post a link

Woah 2022 with almost 200k!?! You live in that thing!?

@@JohnWargo93 lol pretty much. Knock out about 5k a week

@@yellow04 that’s awesome! Definitely report back!

Any update running ats stuff?

update??

Stonk one for now 👌🏼

For all the RevMax stuff plus an OEM solenoid pack I’m $3100 deep

@@JohnWargo93 - Thanks for the quick response. Was that including install?

@@lyricalprophet100 yes sir that’s with labor!

Full shebang was around $2k

CTT. Mines are as follows: 1. +30 2. +60 3. +90 4. +150 5. +200

Optimal Welding tunes also have tune 5 at 200hp

@@TREXGAMES42 thank you

PA. Honestly I would assume so. The new valve body will be able to handle the higher transmission line pressures.

@@JohnWargo93 how much was the valve body?

@@gabrielsalazar6648 like $1500 from RevMax but I also did a deep pan, new solenoid pack, thermal bypass, and more. So I was in a little over $3k in total.

@@JohnWargo93 thank you

Ehhhh I bought a $70k truck imma play with it a little bit here and there 🤘🏼 but in reality this truck lives a pretty boring life. RU-vid sees the literal 1% of its life purely for entertainment. I bought this truck knowing that the trans is the weakest link and that I’ll be putting $10k or so into a built one some day. We’ll see!
