I don't believe the AS69RC is exactly on par with Allison, but it's a huge improvement over the 68RFE.

A negative with the aisin would be you can't get a transmission tune for it, unlike the allison.

It's also a slower shifting transmission with the de-fueling between shifts compared to the fast shifting Allison

This is what makes the Aisin a reliable towing transmission though

However, the AS69RC from the factory is built to tow and proven to be reliable

They did have a little hiccup there with the 2022 model aisins it seems, but personally, I've never had an issue with my aisin since 2016 even with a bigger turbo

If there was more aftermarket parts available for the AS69RC and were able to allow transmission tuning then I think it would have the upper hand against the Allison.

When my AS69RC went in my 2014 at 70k kms it was torn down beside an Allison. The internals of the Allison are larger as well as the quality of some of the parts seems much better. If I were to swap an auto in my truck it would be an Allison.

Received 362k miles out of my AS69RC in my 2014 RAM 3500......nothing but routine maintenance by the book.

Received 473k miles out of my AS69RC in my 2018 RAM 4500.....nothing but routine maintenance by the book. I had many GCW’s routinely around the 34,000 lbs to 36,000 lbs range.....and a few in excess of that (one at 42,020 lbs)

My current 2022 RAM 5500 is doing quite well at 71k miles.

Show me some scale tickets with an Allison 1000 between 36,000—38,000 to 42,000 lbs.

You're just jealous because you don't get to go to the mall with an Allison.
So there.

I've had three GM trucks over the years all with the Allison 1000, a 08 GMC Dually being the last. My current truck is a 14 Ram 3500 Dually with the AISIN. Both have always performed well but all my Allisions ran hot, the AISIN runs much cooler even pulling heavy loads up long I15 grades.

Don't forget....the aisin option also gets you the high output version of the 6.7.

And.....for us lucky Cab & Chassis owners, we get the LO (Low Output) version instead.

Why should I care about the aftermarket...The Aisin is reliable HD Trans. I know of Many commercial Customers with 500K CC Rams, The Allison will make 500K also. I don't see a wrong choice with either one...Except this, The D-max and Ford share the same 10spd Allison for a reason, Ram Aisin was consuming the commercial Market...Okay for ALL you wimps don't buy commercial built Power plants and transmissions and complaint how they shift. Buy Duramax, Fords.
