I said "not likely to buy" Dodge truck with 68RFE transmission.
The fact that I'm considering Cummins and Hemi is also me conceding the fact that some of the many complaints I've seen online about the 68RFE may be old resolved issue. Or just BS as much of what we see on the Internet is. But I certainly have more faith in the AISIN than the 68RFE. But can only go that route with diesel, which is the very purpose of this thread.
Dodge is last thing I've seen. I'm a Chevy guy but can't make myself like their trucks. Was all set on buying Ford F-350, but then saw the Mega Cab. It accommodates our family and German shepherd as dog has room in backseat center floorboard. All other trucks will require a cap on bed for dog. That's an issue as we take whitewater raft and fly fish. With bed available we can assemble raft and run between boat ramps and campground easily. It's a snowball effect. But the mega cab appears the solution. That forced me to look at two motors I'm not familiar with.
