2014-2022 Aisin problems.

[@ryanl5888]

If I hadn't got mine with the g56 it definitely would've been the aisin. Tons of trucks making big power with the g56 and a decent clutch. I wish RAM never dropped the manual

[@sgtram1982]

I will never buy another Ram without an Aisin transmission. I love my 22 Ram 3500 HO with Aisin.

[@SupramanTRD]

I have a 2020 Ram with the Cummins/Aisin combo. I haven't had any issues. I love the truck. Beware 2022-2023 models have known issues with the aisin.

[@j.l.salayao8055]

How is the CP4 doing so far?@@SupramanTRD

[@packingbone1953]

Aisin is partly why Toyota's last forever.

[@hokie9910]

If only Toyota also made the electronics these Ram would be unstoppable

[@JwcubTHS]

Aisin transmissions were also used in RWD Volvos. They were practically indestructible!

[@1hasbeen531]

There is a TSB 21-002-23 out for 22-23 for K1 clutch drum snap ring failing. Some in less than 1K miles. Snap ring groove may not be machined properly.

[@EhFokes]

Mine just failed yesterday. Less than 12hrs off the dealer lot. 699kms on the odometer. 10/22 build date. Lasted one day.

[@richardzago5562]

Mine failed at 6046. K1 ring and service center is seeing several a month with less than 10k

[@wallyyuriy8912]

I went with aisin as well. Hopefully have the same luck as u. Keep the videos coming. From se Sask Canada here

[@pierreboucher9001]

Pulling my 37 feet camper with my 2021 3500 ram 6.7 HO, I love the Aisin transmission. Would buy another one anytime

[@TermiteBenny]

I’ve had good luck with the Aisin transmissions but I will say, the Allison definitely shifts a lot smoother when unloaded and definitely seems smarter on the shifts. The Aisin lasts good and I like the lower temps that it produces compared to the Ford and Allison but it doesn’t shift as smooth or as smart. Now I can say the Aisin AS68RC that was the first generation had a bunch of short comings. I’ve seen a few in some 4500’s that overheated and had clutch failures at less then 150,000 miles. They also would not shift into 6th gear while in tow haul mode and with low gear ratios it was not nice on the highway.

[@1hasbeen531]

Agree, the Aisin is tough, but is a real stumblebum when it comes to driveability/shift quality. Mine had a bad shudder on the 2-3 upshift when pulling, plus all the other Aisin quirks.

[@TermiteBenny]

@@1hasbeen531 my 5500 shifts good, my 3500 shifts stupid. Just like yours, it shutters on the 2-3 shift when pulling a load. Both trucks have a funny vibration sound when shifting into 4th, it sounds like the torque converter lock up making a sound. Both have done it from new.

[@brenteason9891]

Can you tell us how that TRX is driving?!! Sounds insanely good. Thanks, Paul.

[@AmericanSurvival001]

Here’s the best part about the video like this is you know there’s guys who drives the fraud stroke and they’re lucky if they’re hot shotting they get 150,000 out of a transmission and I mean lucky and they’re so pissed off the third shit is such a joke that they spend tens of thousands of dollars by the time they break 250 on the odometer and those trucks are toast I’ve seen more than one of them , talking about how much money they had to sink into a three year, old power, stroke, tens of grand to keep it going down the road you got a love Ford people they will suffer through anything and prove their IQ😂

[@rsg1963]

I'm at 170k in my 2016 with the Aisin. So far so good. Amsoil fluid every 20-25k since it was at the original 30k, seems happy with it. I tow a 20k 5th wheel about 40% of the time, and it's a service truck for the remaining miles.

[@SupramanTRD]

I have an aisin in my Ram, my Lexus IS300, and my Mitsubishi Pajero. I have never had an issue with a transmission from them.

[@seanalexander6926]

They just recently released a tune for the Aisin. Smoothed out the shift points only. Have you gotten this tune for any of your trucks?

[@shanenelms9740]

I’ve herd so many different opinions on this that it’s scary. I’m just the average joe out there so I don’t claim to know a lot but I have a 2018 3500 ram cab and chassis model with 52,000 miles on it and I just changed all fluids out at 48,000 but not the transmission yet. I don’t do alot of heavy hauling no yet anyways but thinking about getting into it. But my question is should I do a transmission flush on my rig here pretty soon or just run it and not look back I’ve herd so many different stories on this but wanted ur opinion on this since u have a hauling business with a fleet of truck with world of experience in this

[@bartthomas2895]

I would do a drain and replace vs a flush. $90 for a filter $200 for 3.5 gal of Amsoil tranny fluid. Owners manual recommends 30k mi drain & replace. Every other drain to replace the filter. For. $90 I change the filter each time.

[@eduardjanzen3618]

What oil are u running in your aislns and how often the oul change?

[@bottlersolutions6739]

Mine literally started acting up on 326. It's a 2018 4500 four-wheel-drive 444 rear. I was sitting at a stoplight and it felt like someone grabbed the accelerator shortly after after a few cycles of shifting the truck simulating shift flares I haven't had a chance to diagnose, but I am thinking it's probably a valve body and one or more solenoids. There was no sheer showing so there was no rise. The fluid is still bright red with no burnt smell, so I'm leaning towards electrical maybe a ground or valve with the solenoids what do you think?

[@ericgilliland6140]

Taking delivery of a 2024 Ram 3500 with the HO Aisin. Hopefully all the issues are worked out. If i can get 200k and pay off my 84 month loan out of this truck... im a happy camper.

[@jeffmockus5400]

Have you ever had problems with pan bolts breaking? I've snapped off 3. Used heat and they won't budge. Had it to a transmission shop and they gave up. Said Aisin installs the bolts without locktite and the steel bolts fuse to the aluminum case. If they were locktited, a little heat would melt the locktite and they would come right out. I've got 161,000 on the filter with fluid every 30,000. I'm getting real nervous!

[@hambix1032]

jeez thats crazy brother i have 4 of them with 100-200k+ and that has never happened to me. hope things work out

[@sounboy4498]

Just today I had the same issue broke 8 of the pan bolts

[@haulandhurry]

I broke 6 and ended up drilling them out and make new thread . It was a garage nightmare

[@hamwallet7069]

Deleted and tuned 19 HO - with a modded 63/67 blew my aisin already. 120k. Kept defueled shift tables also.

[@claudius622]

Good video ! I have a Aisin too. Are you using any transmission oil treatment ?

[@EhFokes]

Just brought my brand new 3500 DRW truck home yesterday. Transmission completely failed less than 12hrs motor time and less than 1000kms. Seems like these late 22s are really biting the dust.

[@end0828]

Crazy. It’s been 2 months and my truck is still at the dealership waiting for parts. They have 30 more trucks with the same exact issue sitting there. Low mile 22s.

[@EhFokes]

@@end0828 it's nuts. Mine went to a dealer last night on the hook. Dealership kicked it out. No room/no time. To many other HDs having the same issue. My concern is not being able to file a complain with Ram Customer Care because we are waiting for the transmission to be diagnosed..

[@end0828]

@@EhFokes contact Chrysler asap to get the claim started, get them to expedite the parts. Or get an attorney for buyback. These are a bunch of lemons.

[@EhFokes]

@@end0828 unfortuntely Chrysler will not proceed with the claim until the diagnosis from the dealer is complete. And the dealer is full of trucks....

[@danny.b]

Not sure if you heard but 2022-2023 Aisin’s are falling apart by the thousands / all new trucks with very little miles - it’s all over the internet - hopefully recall is coming.

My 2022 Ram 5500 with 12,700 miles just broke down with Aisin trans issues. Multiple codes popped up and wouldn't go into gear. Currently sitting at the dealer waiting to be diagnosed.

[@pddieselpower]

Dang. Sorry to hear that. We have few 22s. No trans issues

[@1hasbeen531]

Make sure your dealer is aware of the current TSB 21-002-23.

[@Eric-qh8xl]

Check the wiring harness under driver floorboard. Hopefully, it's not cut though the wiring. Had this issue on a 2018 aisin

[@end0828]

Same. 22 Ram 5500 transmission went out at 9k mi

[@EhFokes]

Same. Mine went with less than 1000kms on it

[@BobDailey-q2m]

I’m experiencing slippage issues with my 2014 Ram 6.7 w/ Asian with 43k miles after adding a tuner and delete. Feels like it’s gliding over one gear when upshifting say from 2-4 it seems to glide over 3 without full engagement. Thoughts so suggestions where or what to look for? Thk

[@Sasquads]

I’m new to this aisin transmission bought a 2023 ram 3500 so I have some questions. Do all of your trucks with this transmission constantly down shift on slight hills towing? My truck would go into 4th gear on a little baby hill that my 2012 ram 68rfe would just stay locked up in. Now the aisin transmission blow up at 1,300 miles. Also the radio stopped working and at 100 mile injector misfires at 300 injector misfires at 600 injectors misfiring!!! Now at 1,300 yes injector misfires.

[@rbarber1004]

I know you have had some issues with the 22s. My question is I’m in the process of ordering a 23 3500 HO. Do you know if the issues have been resolved and are you running can and chassis trucks or the HO. Trucks? Thanks for all the information that you put out!

[@pddieselpower]

I don’t know if it’s been resolved but talking to a ram representative they are well aware of the issue. I don’t know if Cummins actually changed anything yet

[@shauncollins2017]

@@pddieselpower There is a new TSB that was just released for the 2022/23 Aisin's. There is a snap ring that holds the K1 clutch drum on the input shaft and the groove in the input shaft wasn't machined deep enough. So the snap ring pops out of the groove and allows the clutch drum to wonder around inside the transmission. The fix is they have to open the transmission and if the input shaft is damaged, they replace the transmission. If its still good, they replace the input shaft and clutch drum and send you on your way.

[@EhFokes]

@@shauncollins2017yup. Mine went in less than 1000kms. One day off the dealer lot.

Was the 64k mile engine that nearly failed the truck with a knock in the video you did a few months ago?! I see all this stuff on the typewriter tick, my 21’s got it. Not the def injector, she breathes. Didn’t go away after 1000 miles following oil change…still there. Are these hydraulic lifters garbage? I know fleece has a retro kit to put adjustable ones…thoughts?

[@pddieselpower]

No. It was a different truck.

@@pddieselpower copy! Would love to hear your thoughts on the hydraulic lifters. I just don’t know about these 5th gens…

[@wesmcclure8994]

I just bought a 2022 3500 mega cab with the high output engine and Aisen transmission in it. It has 16,000 miles on it but going into second or third gear it seems to hesitate to shift especially if starting out slow on a hill. Is that to be concerned with? Not towing anything when this happens either.

[@Youngmechanical]

Can we get the story on the 5th Gen engine failure at 60k miles

[@richardzago5562]

Ram is seeing multiple K1 ring failures and has recall out but not to customer yet

[@alew3555]

Only thing that sucks is you can't tune them. Shift like shit with a engine tune

[@tonysketch]

This is very truuuuu... shifts horrrrrible i thought I was the only one

[@hotshottransport945]

How often do You change your ball joints? Got a 2020 ram 5500 with 230k miles. I jacked the wheel up and tested it by hand there was barely any play, but definitely could feel and hear a little, so I thought it was the wheel bearing, changed the wheel bearing and same thing, it’s definitely the ball joints. Keep in mind I haul between 25-28k pounds, that’s including trailer.

[@pddieselpower]

5th gens have play from the get go. At least my 3500s do

[@hotshottransport945]

So from new they have a play?

[@ashersmtb]

Did you ever have a 2012 or older truck with the as68rc?

[@joshwilliams883]

I think about selling my 2020 f350 and getting a regular 6.7 l ram 3500 with the 68RFE. Any recommendations. I’ve seen videos where the less powerful combo is better

[@robertdrawdy3749]

Don't waste your time with the 68 buy a 2500 if you want a 68 The aisin is possibly one of the most stout trans I've had besides my G56 If your looking at a 3500 and know it has a 68 walk away it's not worth it.

[@terryhenry8243]

Some say the 68rfe is no good. I say horse puckey. I've run a 68 for years and tow 16,000 Ib's fairly regularly. Never had a issue with this trans. Do the service on it and it will serve you well. If you haul heavy everyday then maybe the Aisin is a better choice. Take it for what it's worth.

[@korn111685]

Cummins with Allison and the 5th gen cab. Come on RAM!

[@samuelhatch8470]

😂

[@shauncollins2017]

Allison's can't handle the torque. Thats why GM has kept the torque under 1,000ftlbs

[@chrischavez2324]

GM's 10 speed is not actually made by Allison. GM's new 10 speed is made in house with the Allison logo slapped on it. Not a true Allison made by Allison..

[@wallyyuriy8912]

To my understanding, the new 10 speed that ford and Chevy are using are from the same factory

I got 68rfe 21 ram looking to get new trans, got 200k on truck thinking Alison 6 speed or just get a Aiain?

Why these knuckle heads think its important to put a tune is beyond me and then blame the manufacturer SMDH.

Tire pressure on dully trucks

[@rvdogfl]

45 psi to 80 psi on rears depending on weight of load. Run empty and 45 psi and it will give you a nice soft ride.

[@hambix1032]

personally i run 70-75 up front and 60-65 rear so im ready to hook up to any weight but yeah if your gonna bobtail 100% go with lower psi
