    Performance 545RFE 4X4

    Hey guys, I am in the market for a pro charger but I also don’t want to blow my stock transmission so I was going to try and find a good performance trans that can handle up to 500 hp without blowing up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My current set up is a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7...

So I had a small leak from the transmission for over a year, from the bolt on the passenger side that bolts the extension/overdrive to the transmission, but small. The other day the car was standing after being used and there...

    Jerky shifting reverse to drive??

If I’m backing up and put it into drive right before I come to a complete stop it’s perfectly smooth! anyone have...

    Intermittent "sluggish start offs" from stand still.

    Has anyone come across this problem? My '05 Ram 3500 dully -- diesel, auto trans -- has recently got to where it takes a whole lot more throttle/RPM to get 'er going. It acts as if I am towing something really heavy, or as you'd expect if you were riding the brakes a bit. Once it gets going...

    HD Guys, Is The 66RFE A Good Transmission Unlike The 65/545/45??

    Reason I'm asking is because if I do a trans swap in my 3rd gen as a part of a performance build, I WANT a TRUE 6-speed with decent ratios and the ability to hold some good power. From all of my reading and deductions thereof, a 66RFE seems like a good choice. Good gear spread, true 6 speed...
