The '19 is my truck and I'm ecstatic that Optimal Welding has it. I met him about a week ago and, ya, so impressed by Mat. He's def a guy you want to meet and talk to if you're considering doing anything for your Ram. I don't have to mention the cost of these new trucks but I dropped it off for him to work on after just a few emails and texts, trust him completely and I just know he's the real deal when it comes to this kind of thing, not the least bit hesitant to give it to him. Excellent guy. Thanks Mat.

Why stick on window vents? They look like crap and tear paint up. In-channel ones are best.

This channel needs more subscribers. The wealth of Cummins knowledge is far beyond any other KZread channel & most shops in the states

It nice to see a Canadian putting out excellent content on Ram Cummins trucks. You are saving everyone lots of time and money with your intelligence. Not sure how the aftermarket is going to like it but keep it up.

Now all you have to do is figure out how to get a 68 to hold 1000hp and hold up. Ur doing a great job

Would recommend end plate on accumulators they are notorious for popping loose wether screws back out or vibrate loose it’s usually a weak point .. and Transgo Hd2 kit would be great upgrade to end plate and seals on phenolithic .. plastic accumulators.. and spring upgrades for them as well .. great kit!! Plus valves in body as well to prevent wear .. end plug.. kit also has snap ring that breaks and pump parts if you actually are rebuilding .. just an FYI I did the Transgo kit with full bd protect 68 on my 12 before I added programmer!! Great videos !! Love your work and knowledge!! Keep up the great videos !!

Another great video dude 👍🏻 thank you 😉

Definitely love your channel man keep up the good work

Please keep us posted on the progress with the 19, good or bad.

Awesome channel you definitely know what your doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another great video! I wish you lived closer to me.

Did the separator plate along with Trans-go shift kit to my 15 2500. Trans shifts are firm, quick and handles extra power better

It’s pretty crazy that thing looks like the millennium falcon from the top view

Another Awesome mod

The biggest weakness in the 68 is when guys are rowdy with their trucks and don't lock it manually in 3rd for hard rips like burnouts and stuff. And when you just allow the truck to shift through the gears when doing a burnout or just hotrodding it it burns up the clutch packs because the 68 shifts differently than the 48 and so on.. the 68 has an overlapping shift pattern so each clutch pack overlaps as it shifts which is why hotrodding the 68 trans burns them up and gives them a bad name, where as the 48 doesn't overlap shift so it can take alot more hotrodding and more power.. but for anyone staying under about 700ish hp the 68 is a great trans especially for towing up and down hills and etc. It's much better than the 48 at daily driving and towing and the occasional hot rod

Awesome video as always, I am new to the Cummins world as I just picked up an 06 ram 2500, one owner truck. Truck does have the efi live tune but for some reason it fails to kick in the overdrive on highway speeds at times when using in the 3rd position on the efi tune switch. Any ideas ?

Wish I lived near you, cause youre good you!!

Cool video. So more line pressure makes the clutches engage with more pressure allowing you to put more power through it without the clutches slipping right? But it makes it feel rougher shifting? Can't wait for 2019 ram videos that interior is nice.

Man I wish you lived close to me, I would love to get u to work on my 2014 !

But do you even weld anymore bro? Lol keep it up, vids are awsome! 68s are a good trans just need some help is all

You need to put a pressure guide on them and watch it and see what it’s doing before and after

👊🏻💪🏻

how are u adjusting low and high pressures

Looks like you know what you’re doing I got a question for you I just installed bypass on my transmission and the temperature dropped from 175 to 132 Is that a low temperature for oil operating or should I keep it?

Dude. Can’t wait till there’s 5th gen content. Just got into a ‘19. I’m super anxious to see what can be done and how. What’s new. What’s different under these hoods.

Still a 4th gen

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 6.4 and my clutches burnt out and some bolts broke off the valve body, causing the trans to overheat. I’ve only had the truck two months, luckily warranty is covering the repairs. However, the trans are on backorder with no ETA. Any recommendations on what I should do? Once I get it back, should I put a new billet valve body and actuators on?

Hey ram guys........ just bought my 2019 Cummins and purchased my def and diesel cap from that app wish. Cost hardly NOTHINg

The gaskets don’t help, they are just a band aid, the lower half warps and even cracks, so the gasket is just a bandaid. A billet lower half is the key to fixing it, also there are a few more weak spots.

How does raising max line P affect the life of the pump?

I bought a 2020 ram 3500 dually diesel engine 6.7 cummins the transmission is 68rfe and I am worried because they say it is very bad, help !!!

Can I do this upgrade if I already have the p0871 code

Wish you were near me , I’m not so sure I wana go ripping into the trans myself. 🤓

So are you using the MPV12 to do all your tuning ? Are you going to make 12 valve tunes for 6.7 s or is that not possible with ho tuners

Optimal Welding so all your using is a laptop with the MPV12 which plugs into it ? Than you got an obd port cable that plugs into laptop and then the port ? Correct me if I'm wrong, Wanting to do what your doing or at least know how your doing it

I looked for ur website .. safari said unavailable? Is it different than optimal welding.com?🤔

How much is that kit?

Have exact same truck but with aisin. Want to build me tunes and delete kit?

I always question longevity with mods like this. You obviously know what you're talking about, but the engineers spent countless hours building this machine.

My 2017 ram 2500 6.7 Cummins 4x4 68rfe needed a trans shift solenoid at 71k miles overloaded by 1k cargo pounds the next day the trans couldn’t hold (empty truck) and limped to the dealer stuck in 4th gear couldn’t down shift, no tunes completely stock with emissions too they warranted it.

Will you look into tuning on 2018 trucks as well? I noticed in the last video, you only mentioned 13-17 trucks. Just curious. I have a 18' Ram with a 6 speed (g56). Not considering a tune yet due to warranty still active, but just kicking around options for future!

Your content is absolutely amazing. Please consider turning off the music while filming because it makes it difficult to understand everything you say.

Ah the 68. The biggest POS trans Chrysler has ever come up with.

Noise in background prevented me from listening to this video..

That’s not a 5th gen. There’s no such thing as a 5th gen Cummins....yet. They’re about 2 years out. Still a 4th gen

The background music is annoying and obnoxious. Thumbs down because of the music.
