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...

IIRC the aisin trans has a 3.54 first, od is .74 ad dod is .64. The 68rfe is similar to the ally 1000 and Torqueflight with .71 and .61 od/dod and a 3.1 first gear.
If you do free way miles, the 68 rfe is fine. If you go off road, need a bit more startup, you have the equal to a .4-1 lower axel ratio! or around .7-1 if you include the TC multiplier.
More than enough reason for me to go with an Aisin. This is more like the Ally 2400 or 3400 trans gear setups. Many times with higher gcwr and gvwr ratings too.
