How are the 6.7's and the auto (both Aisin and 68RFE) holding up?

My 05 is nothing more than a yard anchor lately. I keep putting transmissions in and as soon as I do it shears them out.



I've decided that when I fix the truck (new transmission should be back in next week) that I am going to trade it off. I drove both a cab/chassis and a 3500, both were 6 speed autos. From a drive standpoint, the 3500 with the 350hp engine was a lot better than the c/c. It obviously rode better (which is secondary) but the power was the biggie.



Also, Dodge is offering a $3500 rebate on the 3500's vs $1000 on the c/c.



Although, the manual says the Aisin carries a 180,000 mile warranty which is HUGE.



Argh. Decisions decions.

If you count on making money with your truck, I think you have answered your own question!!

Guys,



PM's are appropriate at times, for sure, ... use 'em myself.



But overall, I think it is good when we remember that info broadly shared-with-the-membership is really the heart of this (or any other) forum.

I do miss the HP on mine, but I didn't trade my 04. 5 either so when I want power I drive it. I can sure understand the your hesitance on the C&C but I dont regret getting the C&C knowing I have 5K load capacity and after my service bed by B&W (outfitted) I still have 2. 5K left, so I really had no choice and I did get the G56 mans tran.
