Murderator says OP is asking the WRONG questions, it trolling.....does not know real deal......

SO, with this in mind, OP can ask it in a legitimate manner, ie Ram 3500 with Cummins and aisin tranny. Even this GM dude will say it is a good combo. Some senses better than the Dodge built 6 sp. Others, the dodge might be better.

Otherwise yes by a GM!

Troll.


Well Fiat does own them


Oh that's true but they way the question is posted looks like someone wanting to stir the pot. We all know Fiat owns Ram, but why purposely misspell Cummins? Those two negatives look like bait to me.

Troll or not, I have nothing but regret owning my '14 Ram 2500. It's only a Hemi so I can't comment on the engine side of things but it is the worst, most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. As we speak it is at the dealer having the transmission rebuilt for the 2nd time for different reasons. It only has 67,000kms (42k Mi). The list of issues with mine is long. I'm sure the Cummins/Aisin combo is better but not enough to win me back once I can get rid of this truck.

I have a 2006, 2500 , diesel, automatic. Just ready to turn 200,000 miles. No issues other than brakes, an exhaust system, water pump, oil and fuel . Easily the best truck I've ever owned. Not even close. Horrible experiences with four GMC / Chevy and two Fords. I could write a book!

After six recalls with my 2014 3500 Ram Laramie I hope things have settled down, can't say enough good about the Cummins motor, but IMO its a cummins still wrapped up in a DODGE, oh excuse me RAM.

Poor paint job ,shoddy upholstery work, at least on mine, had it to the dealer 3 times in attempt to fix the wavy seat cover on the drivers seat, replaced the cushion underneath on the first attempt ,replaced the seat cover on the second attempt, don't know for sure on this third attempt,but they will probably replace the whole bottom half on this go around, still waiting to hear.Seat was just never put together properly, passenger side is okay, and its had a lot of seat time. The passenger side front upholstery clip was repaired three times, hopefully this third time it will stay clipped, but the seat cover it still tight ,and straight, My son has the 2015 Laramie, and same shoddy upholstery, and paint. Mirrors really take some getting used to, poor design.


Overall a good driving ,and towing machine, just wish some of the cosmetics were a little better quality. I keep hearing fit , and finish are great on these new Rams , I don't see it.

Well... Fiat owns RAM... Dodge doesn't make a RAM anymore, hence part 1 of the problem with this post.

Fairly certain that Cummings is the name of a porn star... I would like to believe that someone with legitimate interest in a CUMMINS would know the difference.

The last problem is that Asin is not the manufacturer of a transmission. The manufacturer in question would be AISIN. Furthermore, anyone with a legitimate interest in a RAM would know that the AISIN transmission is only available in the 3500, not the 2500.

A non troll esque sentence would read as follows;
Does anyone regret buying a Ram 3500 Cummins engine with the Aisin transmission?

Therefore, I second the motion that this is most likely a TROLL post.
