I love the coils, they handle weight way better then leafs. I compared an 03 to my 14 with the exact same pin weight and the third gen looked like it was going to do a wheelie and my 14 just leveled the rake out of it
I got a 2500 14 because of the front end update, coil rears, and def. Def if your going to delete would be a must in my opinion.

Your'e buying it for the motor. The rest of the truck is mediocre at best.
I’ve had my 2010 since 2013 and never had a single issue knock on wood. Mine has been deleted nearly it’s whole life as well as tuned with either H&S box tunes, MCC, and now EFILive. Only quirky part about them is the 68RFE which you won’t even deal with if you get a manual as you’ve mentioned. I’ve replaced my balljoints with Carli billet ones and it’s been good ever since as far as maintenance of any variety. Alls it needs is fluids and she’s good to go. Coming from a second or third gen it’s like riding in a car in the fourth gen’s. Definitely happy with my purchase.
How did you like switching to EFILive. I'm happy with my MMC engine cal, but I am only ~75% satisfied with the Overdrive tune. There's a couple scenarios where I can confuse it, and to me, it seems like non-refined code.
It's been keeping the trans alive just fine though, so I'm not too concerned.
And those ball joints. I can't fathom spending $800 on ball joints. After getting them, do you think they were worth it? And if so, why?
Sadly it's not the overdrive tuning causing the issues. Still the best tuning available for the 68.
Talking about confused imagine reading a scan tool and seeing a $9k comp 68 glitching because of a trans temp sensor failure(solenoid pack) and everytime the truck restarts it shows a digital signal of 1022" and a trans temp intermittent code which resets all the values in the CVI! Literally my overdrives 4/5/6 learned down to a CVI value average of 8!
Overdrive gears are fine actually though since I can hold 4th locked to redline using selector, and the upshift at basically 80mph and 55psi boost and BOOM 5th instantly grabs. Same goes to 6th.
Until there's a true stand alone ability to control the 68 it's just gonna be one of those key cycle to key cycle toss ups.
It's pretty easy to swap that solenoid pack. It'll take you around 2hrs and cost you $250 (plus filters/seal/fluid if you do those then too).
My sensors are all accurate and I've never seen any sporadic readings when logging, so I think it's just code.
I do agree though, and looking at the solenoid pack, I really think a stand alone wouldn't be the hardest thing to make. The tough parts would be:
1) Adding a learning feature to understand clutch thickness since there's no bands to be adjusted.
2) Adding the logic around temp and how it changes fluid characteristics.
3) Making it in a way that people couldn't apply the wrong solenoids at the same time and burn that thing up fast.
And I'm pretty sure 4th gear is part of the direct pack, not the OD pack. Also, your OD pack should be the larger billet one that addresses the low torque slipping issue in 5th and 6th.
Filters/Seal I got:
Seal & Both Filters, 68RFE
Solenoid Pack:
Newest Rev OEM Solenoid Pack, 68RFE

:Cheer:
I didn't know 4th was part of the OD. That makes me feel like I should be nicer to it. 4th is technically not OD since it's a 1:1 ratio, AKA 3rd gear in a 47/48re.
Other than that, you haven't had any issues with your Suncoast?
I get a pretty hefty discount on BD stuff, so I will likely toss their 68RFE and TC on when the time comes, but there will be a phone call with Suncoast and RevMax before then.

Anyone ever had a problem with their key fob? Mine wont lock or unlock, panic doesnt work, remote start wont either. Only thing it does is start the truck. Put a new battery in and still nothing.
Also you cant unlock or lock the doors from the drivers side.

Yes, I had that exactly. I fixed it by getting a new key fob and having it programmed.
I only got one fob when I bought the truck and you need two to program more, so I had to pay the lock smith.
I had the exact same issues, and thought it was internal to the truck since the lock/unlock on the door would intermittently work, but after replacing the fob, I've not had that issue once.
There’s the little metal things behind the rubber outter part of the key, on the (opposite side of the circuit board of the a battery) that sometimes come offset of the contact and they won’t activate it when pressed. They need to be recentered on the contact and will then work. I have that issue sometimes with mine.
