Plus Ram is way overdue to update their HD trucks to the new body style.
Aboot as overdue as they are to boot the 6speed slush boxes out the door.
And assuming they are still going with ZF if/when they change, it ain’t going to be soon.
Buddy who is a mid level manager at ZF, different division, says there’s not only no agreement or plans to ramp up the Powerline trans for Rams, everything around it is kinda dead, no new news. He!!, when Ram first started testing ZF Powerline transmissions, it was all hush hush because Ram was gonna be poised to be the first of the big 3 HD trucks with more than 6 gears.
Now they’re still selling 2007 model transmissions behind their diesels as fast as they can crank them out.
I wouldn’t change either if I was them. Not until they quit being able to sell all the trucks they make every year even though 2/3 of them have the tired old 68rfe and the rest have a slightly newer albeit very durable 6 speed…
