I don't know where they are out of but the few guys running their valve body upgrade are pretty happy about it. It is one upgrade on my short wish list too.

Check out the Burla mobile, haven't had any pictures with everything finished, still waiting until I get some blacked out tires and rims.

Only prob is you cant really do anything until your warranty is up if you put an aftermarket one in it it will void that warranty i have been through 3 of them first one was a bad tune 2nd was a faulty pump from the first build 3rd was from bad clutches put in on the 2nd build got hemi fever tune now and has been about 4 months and ive been beating the **** out of it and still going strong.

Burla, that is a sweet bumper. I'm jealous.

Blackout, that's terrible man. I hope I have better luck. It makes me want to cry when my truck is down.

The worst part, the girlfriend came to get me in her 2014 chebby...

Mines going to the dealership Thursday for transmission and rear end issues. Smashing on the skinny pedal when passing has my transmission and rear end about to fall out of my Ram.
I will post a update when I hear more about what they've found.

I think dodge should give us all better built transmissions! Why they would put a weak transmission behind a hemi is crazy. These same tranny's are in the dakota's...

Yeah, it is even worse for the Cummins guys, those engines have a lot more torque. Check out TDR, some of those guys who use their trucks have the tranny rebuilt every year.

Funny thing, my dad just called, he tows a 30,000 pound trailer for his job (oilfield) with his 3500 turbodeisel. His tranny crapped out this morning at 140, 000 miles... not too bad for that kind of work though. But thats about 8 months of owning it for him

Makes me never wanna step on mine considering my warranty is already up in smoke.

Perhaps yearly tranny flushes and filters are the way to go, it must help a little.

I too try not to drop for OD to 3rd on HWY's and whatnot, but im not sure manually shifting down is any easier on it. What you guys think?

 

[rustydagger]

Can't hurt. Makes me miss my manual tranny.... I abused that 4 speed manual for 3 years. Never had any problems.

Hey burla that is a fab four bumper isnt it?

Got my truck back today. Completely dissatisfied with service. Before I made it 1/4 mile from the dealership my tire light came on. One tire is visibly low(hopefully they didn't do something to it)... By the time I made it 2 miles across town to work, my low fuel indicator is on. I tried to get a tank of gas from them. Considering they have had it since December 9th and today is January 15th.

Is there a break in period for a rebuilt tranny? It doesn't feel as powerful as it did before. I couldn't even get it to chirp the tires.
I am going to check all fluids here in a moment.

Do not use Riverside in McAlester, Oklahoma. They will put you on hold for hours, lie to you, and forget to return your calls. I will never go to their dealership again.

Oh and they gave me a free oil change for my trouble. I don't want those whack jobs anywhere near my truck ever again.

At least you got yours warrantied...
They aren't fixing mine even though it only has 23k miles.

 

[rustydagger]

How can they deny warranty? Mine has 21500. I only play with the tuner every once and awhile because it doesn't tow well with it. I actually sold it to a buddy for a few months and then bought it back. But they didn't say anything about it, it had been on stock a few months before failing, and if they can't prove it caused the problem they can't deny warranty, right?
If they wouldn't have warrantied it I think I would have hauled it to Texas and bought one of them stage 3 transmissions.

Just an update, held the battery cables together before leaving work.
Stopped and aired up all my tires to 40. I guess with the cold/warm cold/warm they had all fell down to 25-30.
Then headed home. About 18 miles. 14 highway and 4 backroad.

Holy crap. My truck never shifted this fast or firm before.

Did they program something different?
Did I have problems from day 1?
Should I be gentle on it for awhile?
They rebuilt the transmission as per the sheet they had me sign.

MGH/L&M is in Delaware I believe, close to HHP. That's what I have on order and several other boosted 4th gens are already running.

I would get in touch with Mike at L&M customs. He builds a transmission with extra clutch disks and he tunes them with extra line pressure. I am sure it would help.

I can't stress the dealership comment cards that you mail strait to Chrysler motor Company. If a service department is jacking with you send one of those in and it hurts their money big time.
