Test drove a Cummins last night.
Man that thing is sooo smooth. You can't hardly feel it change gears at all. Factory exhaust brake is pretty cool, didn't expect it to work as good as it does. The ride quality with the rear coils ...

Beautiful 1-ton, Bowhunter. Congrats. Any other details on the truck? Aisin? Long Bed? 4x4?
68FRE trans, long bed, Laramie. THought about the AISIN trans but for the amount of time we tow (4-5 times a year) I just didn't think it would make that much of a difference. If I was full timing then the decisions made would be different. That won't happen for another 10 years.
Nothing wrong with the 68RFE. 65K on my 11 HO Dually with the 3:42 gears. Towed a combined load of 28-30K, if it were going to break it would have with that abuse!
50K on AMZ/OIL, looks good in my opinion!
An aftermarket oil pan with an overpriced tranny fluid sure provides a vote of confidence in the factory setup for the 68. At 75k miles I still have the factory tranny fluid and oil pan. :W
