I have a '16 2500 and transmission question. Has anyone experienced an incorrect 5th or 6th gear ratio troublecode? Sometimes happens as accelerating quickly onto the interstate or if you get on it? Ive been told it could be a valve body or shift solenoid?

I don't know about the code, but everyone with an rfe should watch these videos. The valve body is worthwhile upgrade. I have no comment on brand, just watch these and research options on your own...

my brother in law went through three tranny's before buying a manual, cummins 3500. He didn't know about the Upgrades, maybe they would have saved his truck, dunno. The dealer gave him 1 oem replacement, and he paid for two, because he had a business and towed heavy they weren't on tline for it. Valve body plate and tune, and mise well get new pistons and springs when the VB is down. Ask about GM solenoid upgrade.

Hi @Jason Mace - If you're not able to determine a solution based on suggestions from fellow forum members and you decide to address this with your dealer, please let us know via private message. We would be more than happy to provide you with an additional layer of assistance for that process.

No, i’ve never experienced that, but i have a 65RFE. Only strange things i’ve experienced with my truck is it acting like it doesn’t know what gear to put itself into when accelerating from 20 MPH.
