I would agree the 68RFE is the worst HD trans option currently but the expense exposure is a lot smaller if it goes tits up vs the engine. I had some trouble with mine last summer that ran about $2500 to fix.

I should do a couple simple upgrades to the brodozer trans. Wasn't sure I was going to keep it this long, but, well, she's mine for better or worse now with vehicle prices since 2020 when I traded a perfectly good 6 speed 5.9 Mega cab and our truck camper for it!
That said, I was a little skeptical about being under geared, tuned and big ole tires. But so far the trans is performing like a champ at 100k miles.
One just has to drive "around" it's quirks. Which is annoying and shouldn't be necessary, but is far cheaper than a new truck or a blown trans.
Curiously enough, it shifts better pulling a load than running bobtail.
