68RFE vs. AS69RC (AISIN)
So, what one is better? RevMax says Aisin is NFG, get a 68. Lots of premature wear. I am sure a stock 68 will handle what I need but have always heard the Aisin is a stout transmission. What is the real deal on these?

I don't know much about the Aisin, but I could see RevMax being a little biased.
I read over and over that it's not in the same category as the 5R110 or A1000 6spd when it comes to reliability. |
I have read and read and read and read some more and still reading. Seems like some inferior hub material in the AS69RC, and no tuning for the AS69RC TCM. Called and talked to them (RevMax) and they said 68RFE is the way to go. They do offer a $8K performance AS69RC. Still unsure what way to go.

The Aisin is a stout tranny. Biggest current drawback is there is no tuning available for it.

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. |

It baffles me... they haven't had an auto trans in their history that works well. |
My 68RFE is at 335k miles and counting, at stock-ish power levels, for whatever that is worth.

We don't have any proof but my friend/boss has a 4th gen with 403k on it and it shows no sign of ever being out of the truck. |
My situation is largely the same, I bought it used, but between what I see and the oasis report it looks to be original.

It's hard to say really. In my opinion anyhow. I've seen both last a long time, and I've seen both with problems. |

We've got a local shop that can tune the 68RFE pretty decently. They tuned one up for a buddy of mine and he says he has no complaints. Regular tow machine on a 34' gooseneck. 150hp tune but only has around 100,000 kms on the new trans tuning though so reliability remains to be seen. Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk |

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. Don't get me wrong, I'm not praising an Allison because I have never liked them and don't foresee my opinion changing. |

The new Hemi 1500 8-speed transmission transformed that truck. The 48re help stock power just fine, and just by cranking the line pressure can hold up to a tuner pretty well. |
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.
