^^^^ that's good to hear man.
I also read lots of stuff about the 68RFE having issues. Hopefully just web ramblings and BS. But for folks like me not familiar with trucks, it was bad to hear. It led me towards wanting the AISIN, which requires Cummins diesel, and a 3500 one ton. Viscous cycle.
But I heard from lots of folks that loved the 68RFE and slowly my mind changed, or opened I should say. That led to me deciding on a Mega cab 2500 with Hemi, with 68RFE transmission, and 4.10 rear diff. Will be a special order 2016 Laramie Limited 4x4.
As for the above comment about flat lands in Canada, he tows a 12k lb 5er through the Canadian Rockies. I saw his YouTube 8 min video and that Hemi had that 12k lbs rolling quickly. There is no short supply of power in that 410 horse Hemi!!

The Hemi has the 66RFE, not the 68RFE that the Cummins gets. The ratios are problematic in certain mountain towing situations. Particularly at altitude.
