    Dodges have been known to have weaker trannies. However they have made big improvements. Stock automatics are now good for 400 hp. Be nice to it and it will last you. Same goes for any tranny. The reason people blow them up alot is cummins are the cheapest to modify so people see oh I only have to spend this amount to get another 150 hp and they dont even think about their tranny. They figure out that brake boosting is the hottest thing since pop rocks and blow their tranny up in 3 months.

    Chevys dont even compare to Fords or Dodges. IFS sucks. Allison transmissions suck. Gas millage... sucks. Drive one... its slow as crap. Dodge hands down. Ask anyone that knows diesels. They will tell you that ford has the best suspension and dodge has the best motor. Most people wont even bring chevies in. The best possible set up is ford running gear and a cummins motor and built tranny.

    Fords have so many more moving parts to break. Dodge not so much. And again dodge has 7 main bearings for 6 cylinders. Ford has 5 main bearings for 8 cylinders. What do you think is built better from the very start?
