6 speed manual transmission made by Mercedes Benz for their medium duty fleet vehicles. Dodge uses it for the folks like me who's sick and tired of dealing with failing automatics.
They do have an AISIN automatic option to compete with Chevy's Allison/Dmax combo.

Might want to look in to the lemon law.

Had a GMC. That I tried to pursue the Lemon law. Do it quick,don't put another mile on it. It's a pro rated deal that doesn't benefit the consumer.

I have a client pursuing the lemon law in idaho for the electrical issues he has had on the Dodge 1500. It is no walk in the park to get through the process.....get it fixed, trade it in and be doen with it.

I have an 06 ram with a 6 speed, no problems yet. It wears a 3K+ camper and pulls a 5K boat. I don't know if Dodge says it in the OM but my Ford said do not tow in OD, it will damage the tranny. So you might check on that.
Should no longer be an issue with today's auto's. Older versions are a completely different story.

oh and as far as the Coors light can, Ford is the one who actually went aluminum :chuckle:
Yea Ford went Alum for sure, but the outside skin metal on this Ram is so thin, I set down a battery on the rail to the bed and it dented, literally a crease- hence Coors Light Can comment. My tail gate has three dents - one from a fishing rod butt end -rubber end at that, another from lowering tailgate with only mud on bumper while Antelope hunting in Wyoming and a 3rd??? I dare you to find a new Ram on the hwy without a dented tailgate??? I got paint flaking off already on the rear qrt panel from rock chips and heck I drive pavement about 95% of the time... Again Chevy had four trips up the Dalton and two down the Alcan with no paint chips in same area... (Almost all drit/gravel combo roads) Auuugh! I touched my trailer hitch one time with my Ram bumper, of course ding and dent! Heck- I used to back my other truck til it sounded expensive and never a dent anywhere in 280,000 miles. Seriously disappointed with the overall build of the new Rams. It looks awesome, power of the Cummins cannot be beat, but jeez, crappy as heck every where else... I hope the tranny replacement holds up - but now I am going to wonder where is it going to break down next? Oh well, didn't mean to make loyal Ram owners pissed off, just venting on my experiences, as I know every make and model of any vehicle has some issues here and there, just I expected better is all....

Trying to stay away...but just can't. :chuckle: :chuckle: Hurry up and go trade it in for a ford or chevy so we can here how bad they are too!! There isn't a truck / car on the market now days that doesn't have it's problems. If they made them with heavier metal...people would complain because the power was lacking or fuel economy sucks worse. Is what it is.... :dunno:
I stand corrected... You are right! Drove a buddies Suburban with the boat over the weekend, heck NO GASSER in the cards for me- EVER! Wow, forgot all about the rpms going ballistic going up hills and man o man was scared when I stepped on it to pass and having to stop for fuel - wow! I bow back to diesels again!!!! (P.S. No matter how crappy the metal or the tranny is!!) I am finally over my pissed off attitude on the tranny, it is getting fixed and hopefully doesn't occur again...

G56
Until you ditch the dual mass flywheel and junk clutch,the G56 isn't any more durable than an auto.
The stock G56 is for the guys that want to play over the road trucker while sipping a latte and talking on their iPhone.

I looked into it with a boat I had. I had outboard issues, ended up getting a new outboard under warranty when I waived the lemon law flag.
