I have approx. 86K miles on it. The last tranny lasted about 12K miles. I have fought with my dealer over and over again about the tranny. Last time it cost about 11K dollars to have replaced but it came with a 3yr 100K mile warranty. I am waiting to take it back in now to have it replaced, and they are going to start my warranty over again or we are going to have problems. I am smarter than the dealership thinks last time they said it was empty of oil, but I assure it was not. They pulled the tranny and had emptied the oil before they made up the story that it was low or empty of oil. I had no proof that it was not so I had to pay the 11K and they had my truck for 8 months. Well when it goes back to the shop this time I am going to have there mechanic come out and check the oil and sign off that it is properly filled. I have tried to trade but they want it for nothing. I am surprised that no one else has this type of problem.Holy cow 6th tranny in how many miles ?
It all depends on what you desire, if you plan to delete and tune then take the cost of the Aisin and put that into beefing up the 68RFE. If you are leaving stock get the Aisin. The 68 really sucks in my 09. It's terrible for towing and shifts are all over the place.
I've been told the early aisin was a huge pile of crap but I do hear good things about the newer 69rc

Lemon law man no way I'd be on my 6th. Sorry old but this bugged the cr@p out of me
For years the Asian was found only in the Cab and Chassis. 3500 to 5500. It is definitely different and more suited for loads and towing as mentioned. If you are just buying a truck to use as a car, the 68 is plenty. With minimal care, and low abuse, it will go a long way. Continually pounding it will shorten it's life for sure.
So unless you're planning on getting a 40 foot trailer, don't bother with the asian. Put the money into other goodies.

The 68RFE tranny is one hell of a lot better then the old 47RE or 48RE if you take it easy on it holds up pretty well just can't go beating the **** out of them have almost 122,000 on my 2012 and pull trailers probably anywhere between 85 to 90% of time and still going strong very little problems if any

I spoke to a guy once at a Pilot gas station here in Statesville NC that told me he snapped an input shaft also on his 68RFE dually, but after talking to him for a while I understand why it snapped. He had the Tune cranked up to make pulling a gooseneck loaded with cars going up Fancy Gap Mountain. Keep it low hp and you should not be snapping Input shafts. A stock Allison won’t take the abuse a Cummins will put out either.
