EVERY 68RFE Transmission NEEDS This!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- I was tired of replacing my transmission case after cracking it twice within 3 months of each other. Broke in the middle the first time, replaced it, put on a stronger BD diesel pan, and it decided to break at the BELL HOUSING the second time.
There was no brace that mitigated this issue at the bell housing, so I build my own brace that fixes what no other company has done, yet. Is this the strongest case brace ever built for the 68RFE? I will vote yes!
Unfortunately, I did lose some video that actually showed how I built the brace.
Please leave constructive criticism in the comments below, as I am leaps and bounds from my potential as a video creator. I will continue to get better every video.
Looking forward to the next video!

Okay, wait a minute. Maybe you should start by explaining exactly how you keep breaking them? That would be nice to know so that maybe we can make sure that we don’t duplicate.😂
@@noneya61 found out my driveshaft was the main culprit. Bad u-joint was causing significant oscillations, eventually cracking the transmission case. No issues since the brace and new rear driveshaft.
@@gearheadfabworks oh wow, that’s crazy!
This guy is amazing! Does awesome and very unique work!
I appreciate it! I've just gotta learn how to convey that to others! 🤘
Gotta start somewhere, and I thought this was a heck of a good first video!! Definitely entertaining! Will be tuning in for more in the future!!!!
Definitely much appreciated! I've got the next couple videos about ready to drop!
My bell housing broke three time :/ rebuilding one last time before throwing the damn truck away
I don't blame you. You ever figure out what the cause for breakage was? Bad driveshaft, u-joints, or rear end?
@@gearheadfabworks the mechanic my brother had took it to out in a bigger converter and I’m sure that the main cause. I feel it shuddering when I drive. It was recently rebuilt a few days ago but it’s having an issue again so it’s going back to the mechanic for a diag.
Oof! That's a huge bummer. I've had too many problems with others working on my stuff. I've been fortunate enough to learn how to build most of a car. But costs way more time. It's a big trade off. Hopefully your rig is back up and running soon!
My 2010 2500 trans had no issues at 112k but my 2018 shifts a lot different but not issues yet as it is just a shop truck no towing
Yeah, I'm under the impression that most of the vibration came from my driveshaft. It found the weak point, which just so happened to be the transmission case.... Twice. Lol
I thought the video was great! Nice brace!
I definitely appreciate it! I've definitely learned a lot since initially filming any of that video. Getting better every day!
Okay. I'm afraid to ask..how did you break your Trans case TWICE with a stock cummins?
Heavy towing? Drag racing? Wheeling? Do you have a build video for the truck? Thx
Occasional heavy towing... But really, it was a bad rear drive shaft. Caused too much vibration and the weakest link is the transmission case. No longer an issue.
Just seen this video I need that brace I just cracked a case how do i get it
Were you the one who emailed? I can invoice these, otherwise, they'll be on the website soon.
@@gearheadfabworks yes I emailed.
Truck still in Shop LoL...
They don't want to install it...
Getting it out of there as soon as transmission back together..
@@christmasschandeleve8067 hopefully they get you back on the road soon 🤘
Its been asked before but we need to know. HOW did you break two of these behind a stock cummins??
Moderately worried cause i have a 3rd gen with a supposedly "built" 68rfe and a 200hp motor build..
It wasn't necessarily the power that broke the trans case. It was a bad rear drive shaft. The truck is so heavy, I didn't even notice the vibrations. But there was enough vibration to cause flexing in the transmission. For some reason, I couldn't tell their rear u joints were that bad the first time I replaced the case. Lol
Exactly,
My u-joint bolts were loose.
How do I get me one of those for my 68?
I'll have my website up soon. Otherwise, I've built them for people who have direct messaged me.
What’s ur eta on them at this time ?
Sorry for the late response. These are built per customer requests. I haven't taken the time to build a batch to put on the shelf, quite yet. They are about a weak lead time to build.
Let's see what it takes to test and prep a 4800 class car.
That's coming soon! You gonna help in between all your work? Lol
How much to grab one of those off you?
Oh boy, right now, these would run about $350 painted. I'll be booked up for about a month right now.
How would I go about getting incontact with you to order one?
