I'd forgo any tranny Ram produces based on past issues with my 01.
Umm yes. I think we got the picture. I'm now on my 5th Ram, 2nd diesel, and the only transmission "issues" I had on any of them was through my own doing. My last one, the '03 diesel transmissions started slipping after some engine tweaking. Show me any stock transmission that would put down 503hp and 1060 ft/lb of torque to the wheels without protesting. After building the transmission properly, it was good to go for another 220k when I sold it, and is still good with about 287k on the build. Truck now approaching 350k total.
