If my '68 every dies I'll be coming to see ya'll and hang out for a day or two while you fix my busted schidt. Maybe we can 3D print a 120VAC to 480 transformer.

As a side note though, you'll never get around the TCM for a 68 unless you can "fool" the adaptive memory which gets based off throttle, load, rpm, ect needing to be at 100% all the time to revert back to softer shifting.
Quit blathering.

It's been holding up other than those loose parts you found in the pan, they were probably just extras anyway.

I wouldn't call a 5k-7500 mile service life "holding up"

68's have their place...behind 800+hp that gets used is not that place.

Lol...no...he doesn't. When they're testing, yes. But his truck is a true 1khp truck, what Brandon actually stated. Your "800hp" isn't what he was talking about. But once again, you saw a place where you thought your supposed knowledge was needed. A simple question about if 68 functionality would be in the cards. Now we've arrived at the sideshow that you like to make every single thread. Congratulations.

If I have to read about you blowing your 4 22.5 tires off one more time... nobody gives a phuck. Turn your ZZ Top down, tell your mom good night, and go to bed.

**DISCLAIMER: Official Firepunk Policy is to not feed the trolls.**

However since this is directly related to the Porcupine product, how would you design a fooling box that handles all of those functions?

I'm very interested in the porcupine. I've been considering a 48re swap in my 2014 for a while. But now you've really piqued my interest with the possibility of an Allison swap. Do you have any more details on this possibility? What about the hard parts to do an Allison swap on a 2013+ Cummins with 4x4. Is that something Firepunk may build in the future also? I looked into this a while back but the only place that made an adapter for the 2013+ T-case was CumminsAllison conversions. Cummins Allison conversions wouldn't sell just the adapter either. You had to buy their entire setup and I've heard bad things about their stand alone controller. Thanks in advance

Now to the bigger issue, how many 68s have you seen not suffer as a result of the electronics being the issue and not the hard parts?
I haven't noticed a trend so I really can't comment.

Firepunk's in-house focus is 48RE swaps for 2009+ Ram trucks. The Allison and 4R100 swap support was developed based on requests by external companies. Once these swap products are in production, I'll update this thread.

So what you're saying is that you'd want a cheap 68 controller that would let you replace the TCM in your 2008 and have the best of both worlds?

That's the worst part, every new key cycle the 68 can feel like a different trans.
Every reflash of the H&S OD tune is nice...for about a week...then it goes right back to being a sluggish turd. Adaptive horse schidt. It'd be nice to punch the go-pedal in 6th and have it stay locked and take off instead of hammering 5th gear and wrapping to redline and not move at all.
