the hd dodge is being offered with a 5 speed automatic which is a 545rfe. only when equipped with the standard 5.7l hemi. when optioned with a cummins the choice is between the 68rfe 6spd auto or the g56 6spd manual cummins engine and he claims its got an allison transmission behind the new b engine. is chrysler packing an allison behind these trucks and not advertising it as an allison because of gms use of allisons your truck shop guy is mistaken. .

its an aisin. looked at it today when it make its first trip to work with my boss. ahhh... you didnt tell us it was a chassis cab - or maybe more correctly i didnt associate your thread title dodge chassis with chassis cab model. at any rate - you now know it isnt an allison. i have been hearing this a lot from new dodge salesmen. they get the word aisin confused with allison. .
