Default Trans Swap??? Yay Or Nay???

I'm kinda thinking that I want to take the manual out of my 6.7 and put in an auto the 68rfe fully built and everything..... yea I dunno tho its alot of work because i have to get the auto trans brace and the new piece to connect to the t case and a new ecm-tcm wiring harness and a new colum and a couple of interior pieces to make it factory... i dunno.... Good idea or not....

If you are going to do this for fun, and $$$ is no issues, then enjoy it.

Otherwise, the cheapest and fastest way to get to 68 RFE transmission, sell your truck, and get a new on. Right now they are giving them away. The deals here in Raleigh is just unreal!!

By the way, the 68RFE is one hell of an automatic transmission. And this is the first auto trany for me!

The A/T option is like $2000? Be a heck of a lot more, especially if you have to round up a PCM, harnesses, brackets/hardware, transfercase, drivelines, and other parts. Be a project and a half.

I'm gonna have the Dodge dealer do it so i dont mess up the interior pieces and so it will actually get done right and not take forever if i was gonna do it myself. I'm gonna go price it tommoro and see then whether i still wanna do it or not

The dealer is actually willing to do that? Not knockin all dealers but that's kinda beyond their scope of work. Or beyond the work they a willing to do..... Especially on a 08 I also second the lotto ticket!
