Ram exhaust brake at slow speeds.
This issue was brought up in another tread and I didn't want to hijack it so.. On our first trip out with the new TV we went to the NC mountains...of course :B. Going up the 6-7 % grade was awesome...

Admittedly, that is pretty pitiful clutch life. My Ford had 110k miles on it when I traded it with the original clutch which still worked perfectly. I will not be a happy camper if the clutch goes out of this truck at 40k miles :M
The Aisin does sound like a great tranny and I probably would have bought one if the dealer had a Megacab DRW with one but they didn't. Also, my truck was a left over previous year model so they wrote a pretty sweet deal on it. One note of interest is that they advised me that the same truck with the Aisin tranny would be $7k more :E. I thought "I can live with some shifting for that":B The price on this truck was pushing my budget to begin with.
If I ever buy another truck and the Aisin turns out to be good and solid by then (which I'm sure it will) I will probably go with it. Guess I'm an old fashioned slow learner :B
