I had a junked 545 at a buddies garage that also had a 46rh next to it so I weighed it out of curiosity, Because visually it’s quite a bit smaller. **** was 5lbs lighter lol

I’m wondering if there is any drivetrain loss difference between the two

Why would transmission tuning be a problem? A Hemi Fever tune will tune your tranny also. Am I missing something?

Everybody thinks the 8 speed is the greatest invention since ****, but IMHO, the 545/4.10/HemiFever is a pretty damn good set-up, also. Ditch the MDS, while you're at it.

You got me guy, Me and electronics do not get along! Plus Im a manual tranny kind of guy. First auto I have ever owned is my ram. All of the research I have done says something about the 2-3 gear shift points are off, and damage the transmission. Im not sure if jay greene or hemifever can tune the 545rfe. I know they can on the 8-speed.

Yep, I have been in contact with them.
Hellraiser is the go to guys for any type of mopar transmission. They know their stuff.

He hasn't done yet. He's still working black widows hp90 and that's easy because black widow has a post '13 4x2 with powernet communications. Mine is a '13 and I had to buy a salvaged '15 to swap everything to make it happen. Lot's of work. MMX is the only one to do a 4x4 conversion and Hellraiser is working STILL the hp90.

So I just reached out to Chuck, he said he is still waiting on the driveshaft for Jason's bad ass truck. Hp90 is a serious upgrade but it's only for 4x2 trucks. Modern muscle extreme is doing the built hp70 4x4. **** mines got a Hellcat 426 behind it. Matt's is holding his power level all day long. The rest are UNICORNS...
