When it comes to the truck market, I’ll bet Dodge just drove the last nail in Bill Ford’s coffin!
well the 6spd auto is gonna kill fords 5 spd auto(which is what i have).

I think I am actually gonna keep my 550 powerjoke it's been god to me so far, and trade in my 2001 3500 dodge for the 2008 5500

I just love that tow/haul mode of the Torqshift!
Really looking forward to the Aisin, hopefully I won’t be disappointed!

It does, and with the standard integrated exhaust brake it is an amazing combo. It makes the Torqueshift and the allison seem almost crude. I believe it will soon become the new standard.

My brother test beat one of these mules(3500 C&C w/Aisin) and said with the exhaust brake it's like dropping anchor... I've read that here and in other places as well...
