I’ve had/have RFE trannys behind hemis and Cummins. Change the fluid at 10k, 30k, 60k, 100k and you’re golden. Too bad manufacturers lie and have people maintain their trucks on a schedule so they will fail early. Bad luck here and there on trucks will take out even well maintained trucks.
Good luck finding a truck, all the ones around these parts have jacked up motors and tires. It’s crazy how someone would need more than 800 to 1000 ft/lbs or torque to haul kids and groceries 99% of the time. But that tune sure does help when you have that camping trip, doubt a 6.7L stock Cummins could have pulled it.
getting the break in material out is my key to healthy transmission. I won’t be doing to my wife’s SUV because I intend to trade it in after three years….. and it will be just another used car that will probably fail on someone around 100k range.

did you change the fluid in 5.5 years you owned it? That’s some old fluid, regardless of mileage IMOMy 2015 failed at 44k. Six months out of the 5/100 warranty. $6,500 later and it was immediately sold. Never worked the truck hard. Do not ever buy an extended warranty…unless you own a Ram…then always buy it.
