Does anyone know how durable these transmissions and torque converters with respect to low RPM torque? Is it already at its power limit from the factory?

WE KNOW THSES TRANSMISSIONS CAN HOLD OVER A 1000 LBS TORQUE BUT THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS IN PLAY ,TUNING OF COURSE !!! AND THEN OTHER PARTS START FAILING AS WELL ,,THE WEIGHT OF THAT TRUCK SURELY DOESNT HELP AT ALL

I heard from a respected person inside the mopar racing community, that one of the limitations of this transmission is tuning, with respect to WOT-downshifting. Is this true?

Almost sounds like you blew a trans and are wondering if that is normal. Is this the case?
When you say limitations do you mean knowledge of or its not possible?

Me personally, No.

I am not an engineer nor a tuner, and I have very little experience with this topic. I was told that the Achilles heel of this vehicle’s transmission was downshifting at WOT when the vehicle’s already in motion, and tuning limitations is the reason why. I haven’t found any documentation regarding this topic. My questions are to learn and avoid costly drivetrain repairs.
