Hey Chase, what does ERS do? It is a shame that they won't use the 68RE with the HEMI in the heavy duty models.

Okay Drew I'm confused. I thought the 68RE was supposed to be a Chrysler design. If it is then why does the first pdf make a reference to Aisin-Warner when it talks about a 6-speed automatic? Also, why does the second pdf mean when they have the word ORION next to the 68RE name?

there are actualy going to be two 6 spd auto's, one is the Chrysler built 68RFE and the other is the 68RE AISAN, the aisan tranny already existed and will only be available in the chassis cabs from what I am hearing. with the orion that may be the code name for the 68RFE, that is my best guess.

Okay thanks for clearing that up Drew. Is the new 68RFE partically based off of the 545RFE, or did they just really rework the 48RE? I noticed that the 6.7L equipped automatic model is detuned, I'm guessing that it can't handle the full amount of torque. You'd think that they would beef it up, espically since the output of engines aren't going to drop anytime soon.
I'm glad they aren't planning on using the Aisin unit in the ordinary truck. Aisin-Warner has been having quite a few reliability issues lately.

Just a quick fyi. You can't simply put a 06 taillight on an 07. They have two different harneses.

the 68RFE is a new tranny and carries nothing over from the 48RE, and the manual engine is the one that is detuned. GM does the exact same thing with their duramax engine. Dodge used to be the other way around with the Cummins where the manual got more juice than the auto, times are a-changin.

You're right. So the 68RFE is new. Did the 68RFE get design inspiration from the 545RFE since they are both "Fully Electronic" designs?
That is strange. Why would they give the detuned model to the manual transmission? Surely, if the torque was too much for the manual, they would have just given it a stronger manual.
