Get the AISIN Trans, Factory Rear air Ride and 4.10's. You WILL thank me!!!
The AISIN is in many Medium Duty applications and is truly bullet proof.
Get the larger fuel tank as it WILL bring you more than $295 on future sale.
I don't think RAM offers the 3.42's any longer.
Yet your previous truck had 3:42's , and if not mistaken you said it did a great job. I too have 3:42, and although the Asian is a great transmission, the 68RFE does a great job for me towing a 13,500- 14000 fifth wheel. If I was going with a new Ram, yes the Aisin .
As far as 3;42's no idea if it is offered now, but with the torque ,and HP of the new Rams, I would still stay with 3:42 if offered , unless I was hooked up to that fifth wheel everyday, then I might go 3:73. Knowing what I know on how well 3:42's are with what I tow with a 2014 Cummins, no way in the world would I go 4:10's with my weight or what the OP is towing, 13,750 GVWR .
