I wonder if this will also turn into a venture to simplify their production and manufacturing if the new tranny with more gears could replace both the 68RFE and the Aisin. - HuntindogExplorer

Here is an 18 with the Aisin and 4:10. There is a drag race a few minutes in. I wouldn't call it fast.

Uphill the lower powered RAM matched the Ford in time and used less fuel. They gave the RAM 60 points and the Ford 59 at the end.
Yes, if you read the thread. The RAM with the Aisin is great at pulling. But not the best as a daily driver. Others stated that it's as quick as the Ford with the 4:10 gears. I'm showing that is not correct. - Me_AgainExplorer III

Not a race truck but ask MeAgain how fast my DRW got to 93 on a uphill on-ramp.
Im sure the Ford and GM would be faster but it’s no slouch. - 2001400exExplorer

Super slow 0-60.
You obviously don't have a 4:10 behind it.
In this test it was 3:42. Other tests I've seen are similar. Regardless of gear ratio, everyone says it drives like a semi unloaded. But drives great loaded.

I would challenge anyone to drive a HO Cummins/Aisin with a 4:10.
Get on it at a light.
Nothing slow about it.
