Question Quote from Dodge brochure

This is quoted froum the "2006 Ram" brochure, Wounder if it's mostly hype or have they really upgraded it?

"Dodge 48RE four-speed automatic transmission is the ideal choice: Count on ultra-strong planetary carriers-recently upgraded to a six-pinion design. There's high converter clutch pressure and capacity, with added capacity on all clutches and bands. This transmission can now engage the converter clutch in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears,and a revised hydraulic pump offers 15 percent greater flow capacity over previous models."

Sound Good for stock applications.

Any more info on this? I have on order as of 10-20-2005, 3500 Larame "H" pkg. QC,SRW, Snow plow, on-off rd, lights, 48RE, sun roof, Jake brake.
