Is the Aisin transmission worth it?

One last thought from me.

As I mentioned before, I have the 385/Aisin Cummins in my 14 Ram. 3:73 rear axle ratio. I have NOT towed my fifth wheel with this rig yet, as I have just been way too busy hauling my truck camper around the country. :B

Now there are posters here who claim their Ram never shifts out of sixth gear.

Mine does, and in fact, at certain speeds, it goes gear hunting.

It does this mostly in the low 60 to say about 64 MPH speed range. I've used the plus/minus button on the gear shift to display gears, and I can see it going from sixth to fifth then back and forth. Mostly with a good head wind, and on hills. But it gets to the point where I just lock out sixth gear.

Now I can get it to go away from this by increasing speed to say 67 MPH, which seems to be the sweet spot with this gear ratio (the 3:73).

Tow haul mode does not allow the shift to sixth gear until just about at 60 MPH, so I do see the gear hunting as a result of just not being enough RPM'S or speed into sixth gear to allow it to stay there.

So perhaps the 4:10 may have been a better choice for speeds in the upper 50's to low 60's speed ranges.
