Welcome!
If you can swing it take a look at transmission tuning for your 68RFE - although it is the weak link (compared to the rest of the truck)it sure does clean it up quite a bit and will help with longevity!

I wasn't really having an issue about the GM trucks looks until I saw the pictures of the 2020 LOL. I have a few friends that have Cummins and I have never owned one so I figured it was about time for me to give one a try. My biggest concern is the tranny. My Allison held up very well on tuned and deleted truck. Some of the posts I have read about the 68RE durability genuinely have me concerned.
I agree with your opinions here. I am thinking of putting a deep transmission pan on her and of course doing a transmission tune along with any performance mods I may make. One of the deciding factors for my leaving GM was the CP4 and the cost of "downgrading" to a CP3 which in my humble opinion is not a downgrade at all. When you drive a performance tuned truck the CP4 issue is a genuine concern. I hate to see Dodge going to a CP4. I will likely just keep my truck for a very long time if future choices include the only option of the CP4. I also hate to hear that GM has decided to go in house with the Allison. I think that is a tremendous mistake. I have a few friends with the 68R that tow for a living on tuned trucks and theirs have held up pretty well for up to 150K miles or more. I guess we will see how it goes.
Yes I intend to do some performance upgrades/transmission tune and a few other things in the very near future. Ray at DoubleR is going to gain another customer.
Of course you only hear the horror stories. Think about how many trucks since 2007 that are working fine.
I installed a BD deep pan and BD Protect Plate but not the controller. DRD tuned it to run up to 250 psi line pressure. So far so good.

Exactly what my friends have told me. My luck is not generally great but we are gonna keep our fingers crossed.
Great info here with BD protect plate. I dont want to hijack this BUT - How does the truck shift compared to stock with this? Are all shifts firm? What hp tune do you run on normally? I am due to service tranny...I am at 73k and not sure it has been done before. Last time I flushed (48re) I lost OD shortly after which was at 24X,XXX. So I am nervous but might as well make it worth my while when I'm in there

It shifts the same with the plate. It just allows more line pressure than the stock 175 -180 psi. I'm DRD tuned so shifts are quick and firm. No more lugging around town in 5th anymore. I hated that when it was new. I have BD 90 hp injectors and run a 60 hp tune. Plus there's the CAI, BD intercooler, BD intake horn, GDP grid heater delete, Fleece stroker CP3, Fass fuel, 625 studs. She's no slouch.
Dammit... no wonder I'm poor... sigh.

I've had both trucks also had transmission issues out of both Haha. I feel like stock the allison does great but once you add power. It's just like all the other transmissions I will say this though. When I got my truck tuned it completely changed everything as far as transmission goes. It shifts so much better LOL
