The 68RFE has been one of the most debated transmissions in the diesel truck world. Some owners have had great luck with them, while others start looking for alternatives as power levels increase or reliability becomes a concern. In this episode, we talk with a diesel shop owner about the ATS Allison transmission conversion for Ram Cummins trucks. We discuss why some owners are making the switch, how the Allison integrates with the Cummins platform, what the installation process looks like, and how it compares to the factory 68RFE and older 48RE transmissions. ➨ BECOME A PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/thedieselpodcast -------------------------------- Protect your privacy with ExpressVPN: Get 4 extra months FREE!

Is This The Ultimate Transmission for a Cummins?
In this episode, we're joined by the team from Rislone to discuss what oil additives are designed to do, why they were created, and the situations where they may benefit an engine. We talk about common engine issues, how additives interact with modern oils, misconceptions truck owners have, and what drivers should know before deciding whether to use one. Whether you own a high-mileage diesel, a daily driver, or just want to better understand what's inside the bottle, this episode takes a closer look at the role oil additives play in engine maintenance and performance. ➨ BECOME A PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/thedieselpodcast -------------------------------- Protect your privacy with ExpressVPN: Get 4 extra months FREE!
