    Weakest link after delete.

    What's the weakest link, in the Ram with 6.7, after mm3 tuner, and delete. Ray helps a lot, EGR delete & tune. Stop soot recirculation etc. Get rid of the restrictive exhaust, lower EGT, etc.

    After that, most would say head studs are the weakest link. I'm guessing. Depends on how you're using your truck. From what I've seen, tranny is the weakest link. Is this true for most people? Worth dropping a couple Grand into torque converter/valve body/ deep pan? (68RFE)

    Weakest link after delete.

    IMO the studs and valve body will be the next for me.

    I don’t plan on going crazy and for what I have read the studs may not even be necessary. I plan on running a 60 sometimes 90 hp tune without much more.

    My main goal was engine longevity. I want to be able to give my truck to my son in ten years and know it will last him 5-10 more without issues. Hope that helps.

    I would say valve body upgrade. Once you get the dreaded cross leak code, damage has already been done to the clutches. I went with RevMax and am happy with it.

    Yes. It's easy enough if you can turn a few wrenches and get oily to your elbows.

    I do recommend an after market pan with a drain plug.

    Well, for me the next weakest link was the 68RFE.
