Fixed one of the major failures with the 68RFE - Over heating while towing & the tiny little valve - fails closed!
No more over heating worries!
As of today - 9-4-19: I have Not witnessed her ATF temps over 154°F

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States, where men 'were' free." ~ Ronald Regan
At this moment: Yes!
Daughter just graduated college & then was excepted into OU's - PT school.
Awesome news for us - but 3 more years for her & a lot more spending $$$ for us!
So all major mods are put on hold for now - plan is to get the JUDGE paid off - then begin the search for our new 5th Wheel RV & hopefully a nice decent size Tri-Toon for many days on the water with the future grand kids! Fishing/Jug Lines/Pulling the kids around on tubes are in our future!
Believe me: I would be ecstatic With a 2.5-3" lift & a set of 10" wide - 20" custom wheels with a set of low profile fatty all-terrain tires - along with a full delete. (But) Kids come first! Priorities!
With all that said: When the warranty is all gone - I will hopefully be able to find a shop that is still able to do a full delete & install a mild tow tune to help with our towing adventures!
If the EPA hasn't totally shut that down by then.
Now: Only really looking for a 20-30 gallon auxiliary (gravity feed) fuel tank for the bed. Want a tank that mounts up close to the front of the bed - to give plenty of room for the 5th Wheel slider hitch.
By next spring hopefully I can incorporate a PML Rear End cover & 68RFE pan - both with drain plugs for easy service! What the He11 was Ram thinking?
Even went so far as found a spin-on replacement filter for the cheesy spin-on Mopar transmission filter!
The new replacement filter incorporates synthetic media so much better filtering will occur.
Also found a billet thread adapter for the spin-on filter to replace the very cheap plastic OEM adapter.

Great job and story!
Alright rearend is done!
Now service will be fast & virtually mess free.
As of now - no leaks thanks to the Lube Locker gasket that was used.
At only 6920 miles - notice how nasty the OEM cover had gotten.
Took a couple cans of CRC break kleener to clean up the gear set.
Triax Synergy Max 75W-90 was used to refill - 4Qts!
Once the Summer RV (Towing) begins I might switch to Red Line 75W-110.
Next spring - the 68RFE will get a PML pan as well w/Drain Plug as well as a Royal Purple (synthetic media Spin-On filter)!
Then - the front differential will be the final target.
It will receive a PML as well.
It's crazy! These very simple covers & pans are ridiculously expensive.
Note: If I was only keeping The JUDGE for a few years - I wouldn't even be bothering with any of this!
This is my LAST truck!
A big goes out to Genos - For fast service & the lowest shipping rates that I found.
Next Rearend service - I'm thinking a combo of Red Line (2qts 75W-90 & 2qts 75W-140). Just to help a bit with cooling & wear protection when towing heavy.

That looks good! That rear end was dirty for sure.
