Enjoyed watching it... having said that I always get a laugh when I see a person lift and handle these tiny transmissions. Also the engine looked like it got some oil in the coolant. Also I've seen engines with over 500k miles that still had good cross hatches.
A little oil in the coolant is pretty common with all of the motors I disassembled. Once you take off the heads it is hard to keep oil out of the water jackets.
I agree with you on the trans. Ram has a history of mating under sized auto transmissions to the Cummins. Although, all of the HD auto transmissions look small next a 6R140, that thing is a beast.
Most of the gas engine I have seen have pretty much warn though the cross hatching by that amount of miles. The only ones that I have seen last longer were all diesels.
