Don't forget the 6.4 Hemi has been detuned to 367 hp but still 430 torque for 4500/5500 HD operations.
Same with the Cummins which was detuned to 325/750 even with the Aisin.- I like the Aisin 6-speed in my '08 4500. It had the 6.7L, but I though the Aisin did great delivering power. I liked in much more than the Allison 1000 in our GMs.
The main thing I did not like was there was no way to lockout 1st gear. It was almost too low for solo driving, since we had 4.88 gears in the trucks. FishOnOne wrote:

I would have to agree... After some of the performance feedback from the driver.
Perhaps the Aisin tranny is not very efficient?
6 speed auto in lockup is just that. IMHO too much weight to feel very fast.Hannibal wrote:

He would get obnoxious quickly, I think the guy in the back seat had about enough of him.Bedlam wrote:

Mine has EGR too - even in the 2500. Mine performs just fine, I was surprised at his comments. :h- The driver sounds like a total BS'er.

Too bad FLT is more about entertainment than content. I understand it has to dumbed down to their targeted audience, but I need a real world experience instead of yahoos that laugh at their own jokes. FLT is good for taking up your time if you are not seriously in the market...
I agree FLT is not very critical of specifications and their tests are less than desirable, but there was a Chrysler employee in the truck and he should have known all the specifications on that truck right down to the tranny gear ratio's.- Too bad FLT is more about entertainment than content.
