A 68rfe Transmission Tuner, particularly from PPEI, dramatically improves the driving experience and efficiency of tuned trucks, especially those with increased torque. This upgrade addresses the sluggish low RPM performance common in these vehicles, eliminating the need for harsh throttle inputs to trigger downshifts, thereby saving fuel and enhancing responsiveness. For trucks equipped with larger turbochargers, a 68rfe transmission tuner is essential for optimizing the engine’s RPM range to align with the turbo’s enhanced torque curve.
PPEI’s 68rfe transmission tuning refines shift points for smoother, more decisive gear changes. This eliminates the “lazy” feel often associated with stock tuning, providing a more engaging and responsive driving experience. By optimizing the torque converter lockup strategy, the tuner also significantly improves fuel economy. This is achieved by reducing unnecessary slippage in the torque converter, which minimizes wasted energy and reduces heat generation, particularly under conditions where the converter would typically remain unlocked.
Beyond performance and efficiency gains, PPEI offers customizability. Their “Custom Fit” philosophy allows for adjustments to the transmission calibration to precisely match individual driving styles and preferences. This ensures a truly personalized driving experience tailored to the specific needs of each driver. This level of customization sets PPEI apart in the 68rfe transmission tuner market.
Important Considerations for PPEI 68RFE Transmission Tuning on 2013-2018 Ram 6.7L Cummins:
PPEI’s 68rfe transmission tuning for 2013-2018 Ram 6.7L Cummins involves a complete flash process. Installing this calibration will also install a stock engine calibration unless a PPEI engine tune is already present. This means that existing engine tuning from other providers will be overwritten. This overwrite process is irreversible with non-PPEI calibrations. Furthermore, installing a different engine calibration after the PPEI transmission tune will overwrite the PPEI transmission calibration. Careful consideration of these compatibility issues is crucial before installation to avoid conflicts with other tuning modifications. This installation can be performed using EFILive or EZ Lynk tuning platforms.
