[@someleverpuller]

Could you please elaborate I didn’t see anything on your channel about it

[@americantrucknation4891]

I don’t really know what else to say, but when you take the truck into a dealer, ask them if they can recalibrate the trans when you get to 60-65k on the clock. When they do, the thing will go back to learning your driving habits and will shift more precisely and smoothly. It also prolongs the life of the transmission. All of these people saying their 2020 Ford dropped, did not do that. The trans fell out of calibration and started to shift harder and would wear on the parts a lot more so. When that happens, it will fail way sooner than it needs to. You should be able to get a couple hundred thousand out of that 10 speed, people just don’t give it the chance.

I have a 2020 2500 tradesmen with the 6.4 hemi which I hate too but it even comes with the 8.4 touchscreen with backup camera. That is so cheap of Ram to put such a small screen in such a large and expensive work truck and that they still use the same garbage 68rfe with the Cummins engines, get use to weird shifting and getting horrible fuel mileage again. I pull a trailer everyday I work too just a different profession but I miss my diesel but I don’t miss the maintenance of these new diesels, I can’t wait till I find the right pre-emission one though. I’m a big fan of you and your channel. You have provided me with a lot of knowledge over the last year and you were the main I rid of my 11 Ram at 140,000 before it was total garbage.

Are 68rfe’s trash for non cdl also? Could it be a starting point for growth into cdl next truck purchase Aisin after successfully getting A class Cdl? I have one in transit that’s a ref?

[@xinferischief1570]

68rfe is fine. Don't listen to the gatekeepers. The only true reason the Aisin would be considered better is because of the PTO capabilities. I know plenty of car CDL car haulers that have 300k-400k on their 68 and all they did was put a trans cooler ($400) on and keep up maintenance.

[@IManOPERATOR]

That’s why the truck honks twice if it doesn’t lock

[@Driverlane]

I think the 68RFE is a better transmission than the Ford 10 speed, the new 10 from Ford has had some serious failure issues at around 80K (well documented) and 95% of those failures are from people who do not tow everyday like a hotshot, on the flip side of that I had a 68RFE in my hotshot that I purchased new and put 350K trouble free miles on it......but I was religious with regular fluid change intervals, maybe that is the key.

[@akg4500]

I made on my 205k and it still good transmission

[@OfficialEPA]

Sad, ford was the king of diesel transmissions in the 6R140 era, only to downgrade to a transmission that makes a 68RFE look like a Aisin in durability comparison. Oh well, if ford doesn't get this 10 speed sorted out soon they will be the ones getting slanderd for a garbage transmission AND an inferior engine 😬

@@OfficialEPA - 6.7 powerstroke best diesel currently offered in its class. Last is place is definitely the Duramax

[@matthewwilliams9028]

Ford never has been able to build a transmission period and there diesels are based of gas engine designs.

2022 Cascadia uses a key

[@richr909]

So your leasing the ram from enterprise is assume?? Otherwise after watching the video there is no reason to buy a ram with that crappy transmission that you mentioned right?

[@trevorandrews1349]

Enterprise branch manager told me they paid 17k per truck for the white 2019 ram2500 crew cab because they purchased so many

[@ericholcombe1]

Spend $450 to get a decent radio installed vs getting the $2000 upgrade.

[@bsittig]

Adapt to the ram minus the powertrain. Expect the Ford to nearly completely adapts to you minus the powertrain. The shape of the engine works for both acceleration and deceleration as well as longevity. Find one single million miler gooseneck or fifthwheel hauler Ford on KZbin. There’s a hand full of dodges. Even at least one with a 68. Hope that helps.

[@andrewslagle1974]

got 2 w/68s hi millage no problems yet!!!!

[@SoCaL884]

How much does the enterprise program cost

[@18wostrucker92]

Are you taking on owner ops? If so what are your requirements

[@briansullivan.1341]

Is that truck 4x4?

[@thefartdart]

A key or a push start really
