6.7 Cummins Non DEF vs Newer DEF Trucks

The Aisin was available in the 2500 for the 13 and early 14. Then became unavailable due to demand was greater then supply.
I need to see the proof...It has NEVER been offered on the 2500, and seeing as how I was in on the first 13's that came out with the Aisin, being on the cummins forum, and knowing the ordering system....I know of NO 13' 2500's that would have added the bigger, 160# heavier Aisin to the 13', which still had the older front end and the older frame....
It wasn't available in the 13 or the 14'.....sorry, I'd need some proof to believe it...That was one of the biggest hits against Chrsyler...only offering ONE gear ratio to owners of the 2500's and ONLY the G56 manual or the 68FRE tranny.....NO Aisin or with the extra HP & TQ...
I have a 2013 brochure on the 2500/3500SRW/3500DRW trucks that came out in February of 13'...and there is no mention of the Aisin being installed in a 2500...shows with G56 and 68RFE...
I ordered my truck on Dec. 5th, 2012....Didn't receive it until 9 May (think that's right), of 13'...5 months after I had ordered it... 13'trucks showed up very slowly to the customer back then..In fact we had a poster come on here in either January of February of 13' stating he already had a 2013 2500...and NONE had hit the market yet....We told him this..and I don't know if we've seen him since...also had one that stated they purchased a 3500 last year with the air suspension, (though none had been built until this year), never saw a picture of that one either....So an Aisin in a 2500, "IF" it ever happened, I'll eat my crow with gravy....but it never happened..
