I have been thinking about the 3.0 crd and the 8spd trans for my wife.

Even if it gets close to that (mid 20's) I'll buy one. I own a 05 GC Hemi and i love everything about it but the mileage. I much rather jump in it than my 1 ton king ranch.

I believe its basically the same engine that GBE claims it will be selling soon(they put their own intake on it). Banks seems to think its a pretty awesome little engine, I'd love to put one of these in a S10..... V8 performance with killer mileage.

They think 240/265hp is "awesome". Mercedes has made 240/265hp 3.0L V6 in Europe for several years now.

obviously 240hp is pretty much what every other manufacturer is getting out of their 3.0 V6.
My comment was not to say that Banks was impressed with 240hp. They plan on selling a smog legal version of that engine to swap into jeeps or whatever and their's is rated at 268hp.
What I was saying is that Banks seems to be impressed with the design of the engine. They expect if they haven't already to get 600hp @ 7500rpm out of it.

Time will tell, I spent 9 years of my life at the Chrysler transmission plants, and was involved with several launches/retools.
Some things that I saw that were interesting
The 47RE was never able to make it past the dyno testing it usually made it about 3/4 of the way through the test.
The 48RE was able to make it through this test. It was a pretty grueling test, they had a V10 from an SRT10 ram. Full throttle until 55, then go to OD and half throttle, let it coast to a stop, then repeat. It was supposed to simulate a load of a pulling a travel trailer. I will say the engine was loaded, the exhaust was glowing to the floor.
The 42LE wouldn't hold up to the power of the 3.5L V6, so they had to pull the power back.
When they first put the hemi in front of the 545RFE it blew the trans on the first pass on the dyno.
Look at the 68RFE, sadly the engineering tools available today, allow the designers to shrink every part to the maximum amount, where in the olden days they just overbuilt things.
They will pull the low end power out of these to make the trans live.

Yea the NAG1 was a Mercedes design transmission.
Chrysler has always competed for the commodity type vehicles and if you can save $7 on a transmission that you make nearly 1 million of by spending $2 million on a project, they will do it.
That was the premise behind the 40TE.

Which is why it rocks, SRT8 Jeep guys are claiming holding 600 AWD HP

And you can rebuild it in your sleep. Super simple. No bands and amg valvebodies make for a solid piece.
