Aisin is a lot better trans if you ask me, for stock applications.
I still fully believe that a 68rfe is a complete pile of chit.
Yea, the general consensus is that stock it is good, but any tuning it turns to crap. I would just want to delete the truck, seems like just doing that there could still be issues. I have seen a few 68RFEs last a good while. Why can't Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Fiat (whatever it is called these days) figure out a transmission for these trucks. Ford and GM have had theirs locked down for quite a few years.
My 68RFE is at 335k miles and counting, at stock-ish power levels, for whatever that is worth.

Ford and GM don't run theirs behind an L6 running on steroids. I think that has a lot to do with it.

I am trying to figure out the one that is the less piece of chit it seems like.
Running on steroids?
With common rail you can tune the engine to act however you want between shifts. There is no excuse.
Yes but I've seen some Ford stuff take nice power above stock and live to tell the tale.
Dodge can't say that. And their trans have always sucked.
As a dealer we see a large amount more of 68rfe failures compared to the aisin. We're probably into a 68 4-5 times a month. We've been into a aisin once in 4 years. I don't really think the 68 should be behind a cummins. Alot of the internal parts of a 68rfe are the same as the 45rfe that was used in dakota's and grand-cherokee's. Just not heavy enough. Stock and not beat there ok, but if you get the slight bit silly with the throttle there done.
