So I've been doing some talking to people who know more than I. Actually it was Russell Drake. I know there is information on this forum for swapping the 8 speed into at least a 2013 or earlier. However after 2014 the 8 speed was a factory option. So I was told that since my ram is a 2015 that the option for an 8 speed is in the BCM. Russell suggested that since the BCM can now be reprogrammed cheaply and easily, that I could swap shifter and wiring for an 8 speed into my 65rfe equipped vehicle. Then reprogram the BCM to accept the new transmission. Just looking for more info on this if anyone has it. Otherwise I'm just going to have to fly blind. I can get a low mileage 8 speed for around the same price as a new 6 speed. So I don't really need the "buy a new truck" brigade here. I could use something to reprogram the BCM anyway. I would like to install and enable other factory options. Any help with the transmission swap would be greatly appreciated. Though my 65RFE only has 41K miles on it. I can spend some time learning from this thread.
