1)So your saying ram is going to install the aisin in the 2500 trucks?
They don't have to in the numbers war. All they have to do is offer it in 3500.2)So your saying aisin can handle a ~60hp bump just to match the competition?
Again, it doesn't have to handle 60hp, just 26ftlbs+ of torque to take the top position back of the torque wars.3)I can assure you my truck has very little torque management and with an upgraded Allison I'm sure the Chevy will have very little too, and hall balls up mountains all day long.
Prove it. The Ford does have a very robust transmission, but the PS has enough torque to twist almost any part like a wet noodle in 1st gear with the converter unlocked. We know nothing about the transmission behind new Duramax.
Yeah lets put the best performing engine in a very very few selective trucks and call it "class leading".
In the meantime Ford and GM have a transmission that will provide real class leading power in all truck configurations. Now that's a "class act".
