Ol Blue 169 Report post Posted February 7 I need to get an automatic transmission so have been looking at used pickups. Does anyone know this pickup? Programmer, DPF delete, lift kit, wheels, etc. I don't need someone else's headache. https://www.pdxautomart.com/vehicle-details/2011-ram-3500-slt-laramie-crew-cab-lifted-4x4-diesel-truck-6e50490c3e7ef54a8ee5728f992f42a8 Thanks.

Ol Blue 169 Report post Posted February 7 (edited) Hi. I saw that it came from the north, but the speedometer is in Miles Per Hour. I keep trying to ignore out but the pickup keeps talking to me, calling me back to look at it some more. It also has a bad grear ratio at 3.42...

Scotty_ 732 Report post Posted February 7 Older trucks from up here had to have a speedo change. The Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba vehicles are the least prone to rust. Head east and look out! We call them Easter Bunny’s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leadfoot067 43 Report post Posted February 7 i think your gonna find the majority of single wheel trucks have the 3.42 gears.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTroyer 803 Report post Posted February 7 Thought I read somewhere that only the “heavy duty” manual transmission trucks had different gear choice available sure as heck could be wrong on that , but the OLD mind says just 3.42’s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scotty_ 732 Report post Posted February 7 I didn’t look at the ad til now if it’s original Alberta truck, I’d be surprised if it had any rust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ol Blue 169 Report post Posted February 10 When did the Aisin transmission get used in the Dodge pickups?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marksmith 563 Report post Posted February 10 The pickup in the picture is a 68rfe aisins were in cab and chassis trucks since 07.5, and optional in 3500 trucks since 2013. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ol Blue 169 Report post Posted February 10 (edited) I was thinking it was in newer pickups and then only behind the HO engines for the first year or two. Edited February 10 by Ol Blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOSS 1,718 Report post Posted February 11 I was thinking it was in newer pickups and then only behind the HO engines for the first year or two. Your close the Aisin is in 2013 and up 3500 Rams that are designated Heavy Duty. Note not all are Aisin! not including cab and chassis like Mr. Smith said. Reminds me of a Judas Priest song! Just look for the trans fluid dipstick on the drivers side of the engine compartment. That's an easy way to know its a Aisin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
