General Opinions On Stock 68RFE Driveability?

[bigboost]

Hey guys, I just purchased my 2022 Cummins with 41K miles.

I've always known the 68RFE was, at minimum, a question mark, if not a guarantee that it would **** the bed sometime during my ownership.

However, I haven't driven many 68 trucks, so I'm unsure how they're "supposed" to feel in good working condition.

My transmission feels really clunky when slowing down or coming to a stop, and almost all the downshifts are really clunky.

Also, it seems like the converter flashes a little on upshifts; I'm not sure if it's normal.

Overall I'm just reasonably disappointed in how crappy the transmission feels when it's got 41K miles.

Would you consider these "normal 68RFE" feelings, or should I bring the truck in to get checked out?

The truck is completely stocked.

Thanks for the input!

Normal.

They are annoying to drive, especially if not tuned and if you are not used to them.

The torque converter unlocks for each shift and then locks back after the shift, so you will have noticeable converter flashes (we call it shift flare) on upshifts.

Thank you for the info.

The flashing definitely isn't all that annoying.

It is just something I noticed.

Overall, it isn't awful, but it certainly leaves something to be desired.

Hopefully, they'll be able to tune the 22+ trucks soon.
