    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Wouldn’t disabling the MDS solenoid i.e. inactive, which would means the oil galleries are open, unrestricted or blocked, be the same as installing the solenoid plug which would replace the solenoid and leave the oil galleries free and open?? Whereas, when the MDS is on and the solenoids are...

    That was my understanding as well. But apparently it’s the other way around.

    If you are saying shifting out of the MDS will cause oil not to be fed to the lifters, then this design is asking for a failure by not lubricating the moving parts.

    I think these are the main things with these engines.

    But isn’t turning the MDS off via a tune is similar to having the engine not running in MDS whether it is a manual shift selection or speeding outside of the

    So tuning the MDS off with the MDS lifter is a recipe for failure .

    I thought deactivating the MDS via a tune is more or less like using the MDS solenoid plug.

    2012 Ram 5.7 cam upgrade 6.4 or stage one comp cam ?

    I went with 6.4 cam on my build because it doesn't require a phase locker or limiter. You might as well take a look at MMX No Tune NSR 5.7 and 6.4 Cams. Both require no locker or limiter.

    65RFE related questions

    TBH, back when I purchased my 2013 Ram, my dealer told to wait a couple of months for the then new 8HP behind the HEMI. I was worried, since it’s the first model and I thought back then that the transmission was NAG1 similar to the cars. Then, when I drove the truck I realized it is 6 speed...

    Getting the hardware isn’t hard, as you said. The problem finding a good shop putting it together.

    The issue is that where I’m at, nobody perfected an 8HP swap. I know my 65RFE is my weakest point in my build, so I’m not planning to race it. It’ll be my DD with regular driving and maybe some spirited ones here and there.

    1- Do you need a tune when you change the torque convertor? I'm thinking of going with 2600-2800 Stall. 2- How would a 3.55 rear diff, 2" lift and 35" tires affect the transmission? 3- Did anyone try or have any experience with 65RFE upgraded parts from NextGenDiesel? I'm posting the link to...
