Im selling my f350 tremmor 7.3 for a cummins for a farm truck plus some money back. Really like the 2010s.. mostly a freeway truck plus some 5th wheel towing. Any recommendations over the early 4th gen would be greatly appreciated
question... i want to buy a 2500. I dont plan to modify it or tow or anything... i just like the truck. Im not planing to mod anything more than a leveling kit, maybe try to soften the suspension so that its a "smooth" daily driver... do you think any of those to automatics will give me any problem?... my budget allows me to but 2010 to 2016... more realisticly 2010-2012 vechiles with 50-60k miles (im in peru, not that much parts to fix the transmisions and i need to import them if something fails, thats why i ask)
That's awesome that you want to import one! We love seeing these trucks everywhere! If you are keeping it stock then both transmissions can be good, the 68rfe is a smoother transmission as well so better for daily driving. I don't think you'd have an issue with either transmission, if you go with a 68 I think you'll like it better, just get a deep pan and thermostat delete and you should be good!
@@dirtydieselcustom Yea, the prices in the US right now are basicly the same as here in peru... 10-20% so i might get the truck second hand here but i will import most stuff... as i said, daily driver so the last thing i need is a big boom while driving hahaha
Im looking at a couple of 2014 ram 2500 laramie longhorns. Both are white with the exact same interiors. 1 has 140k+ miles, the other has a little over 120k miles. Both have the 370 horsepower 6.7 cummins motors. My 2 questions are, would either one of these trucks have the Aisin transmission or am i looking at 2 trucks with the 68rfe? I would prefer to have an aisin due to the fact that they are by way of numbers more economical and stronger for pulling than the 68rfe. As for adding power, im going do be going the delete route on whichever truck i get so whatever gains come from doing said procedures and tuning the truck to accommodate its new running conditions will be what i get. Im not going for stupid horsepower and torque, these trucks have enough power to raise the titanic as it is. So if im gping to have more horsepower, i think 400 would be a good ceiling to have if not a bit less. Is the Aisin still going to be a good fit for this application? Its also gonna be my daily driver. Thanks!
370 horse trucks should be 68RFE trucks, the HO trucks of 2013 are 385 horse. If you're ever uncertain, all Aisin trucks have the dipstick for the transmission on the drivers side, 68's have their dipsticks on the passenger side. So if the dealer is ever unsure that's a guarantee to know by just popping the hood. As for the Aisin holding up to a delete/400hp kind of setup that should be no problem, for a near stock power level the Aisin is a stout unit, I wouldn't hesitate to run it like you were planning.
@@dirtydieselcustom ah, gotcha. Just means I gotta be careful with that 68rfe til I can swap in an Aisin as69rc to replace it. Thankfully the Aisins don't seem to be nearly as expensive to buy as the allison transmissions.
@@ChargerusPrime Getting a deep pan and a thermostat delete can give that 68 a longer lifespan to maybe avoid ever needing to replace it. As for the swap, we've never heard of someone doing an Aisin swap where a 68 was, I think you'd just buy a stage 1 or mildly built 68 and call it a day. A mild build on a 68 will quickly outperform an Aisin.
@@dirtydieselcustom fair enough. I'll look into it. More or less I'm after as much fuel efficiency as I can get out of this truck as it is going to be my daily driver. Mechanical parts always eventually wear out however so I should plan ahead a bit. Question is, which would be the most cost effective and efficient option, a built 68rfe or an Aisin as69rc?
@@ChargerusPrime If you already have one, then keeping that transmission healthy and replacing it if it goes is your best bet. If you're looking at one, it sounds like your needs would be to pick up an Aisin to start with and do regular servicing.
My grid heater cable melted itself from the outside. Threw the code and my heart sank. Looked in there the cable was arcing off the block.
Oh no! Had it dropped in yet as well or were you lucky enough to get it out beforehand?
Probably because you got the 68 rfe
I just got a Banks monster ram. And ram extend the turbo actuator warranty.

Basically just what this video covered and you should be good. Budget for an initial tune-up just to cover maintenance and throw some miles on it!
Should retitle this video: 4th Gen Trans & Turbo guide. Hard to call it a buyers guide without ever actually showing a truck in the video...

They are great trucks just take care of them and stop trying to race hellcats and shit 😅
Why shouldn't a 10k lb race cracked out police car

It's pronounced 'icein' not asin. Im a contractor for them.
This video convinced me not to buy the 2012 3500 I like.
