Is the Aisin transmission worth it?
I got the new truck bug, and the Aisin transmission trucks are a fairly rare find in my area, especially loaded out ones. My current truck is a 2012 Ram with the 68RFE, so I believe it's rated at 610...

I recall a while back "I'm Rick James" reported he could not notice any performance difference between the 68 and the Aisin tranny. It's interesting that the defenders of the 68 opted for the Aisin and I think we all know why!
Good luck...
With the Aisin there is for sure a difference it's called the lower starting gears and they really help get the load rolling with ease.
Chryslers Head West Coast Warranty Rep said when he was asked how well the Aisin trans is holding up he said "they don't break".
My 68RFE was flawless towing a combined load of 29K even with the too high 3:42 gears.
Pan with 50K on the AMZ/OIL.
I wouldn't put Amzoil in my lawnmower tranny... BTW I hate those small oil pans!
