The fact that Dodge is only manufacturer I know of that offers an upgraded transmission is concerning enough. But they only package, special orders for most part, with the diesel. Even then only on the 3500 series. Not holding my breath, but I was curious enough to ask.
The regular transmission was never intended to handle 850+ lbs/ft of torque that the new 6.7 CTD can put out. That is the only reason for the upgraded transmission. Without that much torque, you shouldn't have any problems with the older trans.
