If I could get shorter gears in a SRW with an Aisin then it might be worth it.
You are overlooking the fact that the low first gear in the Aisin vs the 68RFE is much better for towing in the SRW 3500's that are only available with 3.42 gears. (I posted the gear ratio's earlier)
It is the best of both worlds. Gets a load heavy moving with tall gears which gives the truck really long legs! Like 1750 RPM at 80 MPH across Western Wyoming and Eastern Utah bringing it home.
Like any thing it does have a couple quirks. At 55 MPH it will hunt down to 5th gear on a small hills without a trailer in tow. In towhaul is performs flawlessly while towing.
It is more or less free standing without a link to the trucks computers having its own, sending gear info back to the EVIC. It is not adaptive to ones driving style. We made a trip to Arizona and back towing the old 5th wheel and I am very happy with it.
