Like all company's they have their good times & bad.....I don't consider Dodge a dirty word, IMHO, I think the best Dodge trucks were the power wagons build up through the late 70's, then in about 78, 79, q/a & cheap parts began showing up, which at the same time is when the feds (USDA, USFS) began buying Chevs (IIRR) and avoided the Dodges for many years. During Iacocca's tenure, the quality was definitely there and local/state/fed were buying them again.
I have yet to ever see ford or GM involved in a class action suit for denial of warranty claims like Dodge & Hyundia....nor has GM/Ford/Chrysler ever been involved in a class action lawsuit for fraudulent advertising (Honda currently) or falsifying engine performance specifications (Honda & Toyota- criminal filing by the Feds)
and no, I do not dwell on a particular brand but each brand is well known for its own particular set of issues...some much worse than others and when a companies executives who establish the "value system" of a corporation practices is such to purposefully and willfully commit criminal misconduct, falsify (not just creative marketing) specifications and defraud customers as part of their "business practices", I always recommend running away from those companies products not just when the top execs leave, but when their "protoge's" are either "re-trained" or departed as well.....just like we sa Bill Ford Jr. & Mullally (spelling?) do over the past few years.

I suggest you read up about the 1999 Mustang Cobra - the one that made 30-40HP less than advertised and had to be recalled because of it.
Your previous posts are also riddled with mis-information.
First, it's Aisin, not Aisen. Aisin does not manufacture any transmission for consumer Dodge trucks, V8 or Diesel. Only the Commercial Cab+Chassis RAM 3500/4500/5500 Diesels have an Aisin 6 Speed auto, and it's a very stout unit. Neither does Aisin manufacture Nissan truck transmissions. Nissan transmissions are built by Jatco, which is a Nissan spinoff.
Additionally, Aisin is one of the largest automatic transmission manufacturers in the world. You don't get that way by making junk.
Yes, the Chrysler 46RH/RE and 47RH/RE transmissions were very trouble prone - but so were the Ford AODs, AX4N, AX4S, first gen E4ODs. But they've all dropped those designs, for much improved ones.

You are a paid blogger-
The Ford AOD's by design date back to 1980's and used in just about every V8 car Ford built until they came out with the 5R55 in the Mustangs/explorers. There were some limited run production trannys you identified...again, during the Nasser era.
i never even mentioned the Chrysler 46RH/RE and 47RH/RE transmissions since the torque converter failures are a 300,000 per year, many, many times over & above the tranny ys you mention that are "Troublesome".
Regards to the Mustang, yes, but it did not require a class-action suit to get resolved and it was a component/tuning item that was decided and not reflected in the marketing items...admitted by Ford....where as Honda, Nissan, Toyota & Chrysler aloowed their know, orchestrated fraudulent practices to go to state & federal court in class actions suits...............an action that can only be certified by a judge if the plantives demonstrate in all probability that ciminal fraudulent practices has occued.
Sorry if my typing results in a few typos...up until early 2010, Aisin built 100% of all Dodge V8 (gas) automatic transmissions.......and they produced about 30% of Nissan auto trannys for about a decade....based upon production demands.

Excuse me? Get real man. I've been on this site for 5 years and have over 3000 Posts, I think it would be real evident if I was a "paid blogger".

The original AOD was released in '79, had generally terrible reliability and OD was especially weak. The AOD stayed that way until it was replaced by the AOD-E in '92. The AOD-E was a huge improvement and much stronger although still based on the same design. It evolved into the 4R70W and 4R75W which were stronger and more durable yet.

The 46RH/RE and 47RH/RE are the only Chrysler truck transmissions that have significant issues. The 545RFE (which replaced the 46RE in '02/'03) is a generally very reliable transmission. The 48RE and 68RFE which replaced the 47RE are also quite reliable transmissions. Not as good as say a Ford 5R110W, but still reliable.

Wrong again. Chrysler RWD V8s have used two transmissions in the past decade. The cars got the Mercedes-Designed W5A580, which was built in Chrysler's "Kokomo Transmission Plant 2", while the 545RFE used in the trucks is built at their "Kokomo Transmission Plant 1". Not one was built by Aisin.
The old 46/47/48 Transmissions were also built at the Kokomo plant.

Here's the indicators that you are (or are acting like) a paid blogger....
Bloggers do not read what people have actually wrote but with a search engine, ID negatives, then without reading the entire content (such as you have stated...you didn't have the time nor interest to), then post replys supporting a particular mfg/vendor/distributor about an item that was not even brought up as an issue and engage in an "Attack-Profile".........To this day I have made no mention of Dodges trannys'...........only the torgue converter issue, which you ignore and have attempted to re-direct the comm to a tranny reference...to which there was none in any of my post your initial comment posting......
Given the volume and types of responses as I have serched with you name, this is not a first for you but a pattern .............63 of the last 91 postings of yours (ask me how I know.....yeah, I have a software program)...
So enjoy your commssion check, or if you are just practicing, I say you have my recommendation to submit a resume to Fiat/Tata Motors (whose owns 21% of Fiat Stock (if you include the shares owned by company execs) director of Marketing and start getting paid for all this work!!!!

Do you even know what a torque converter is, or what it is part of? Torque converters are part of the transmission. If you mention a Dodge torque converter, you are therefore bringing up Dodge transmissions. The 46/47 RH/RE transmissions had lots of issues, and torque converter lockup failure is not unknown with them.. The 545RFE,68RFE and WA580 which have superseded those older transmission have very little issues and are generally reliable units.

The only post where I mention Dodge anywhere is the last few posts in this thread.

Yup, I guess I get paid by Nissan, Jatco and Aisin too, since I defended them as well!

I think someone may be just a little jealous of the poster's with a new pickup.
No the reason I say that is I witnessed a brand new truck try to do what my 200,000 mile dd does every day and the e locker quit cel came on and abs light flashes and when I get on the 2011 forum of fte every other post says back into shop!!! For 50,000 it better give me 100,000 trouble free miles atleast

They are poor trannys from the factory I know I have one. Flawed both mechanically and electronically when they rolled off the line. The trans shops love them though, helps pay the bills.

Look in the mirror......
The AOD is loosely based off the C6, there is not a master tech or ASM certified tranny guy that will agree with you that the AOD is problematic in any way, shape or form. When 1st introduced and when major changes to the e-systems occurred, the 1st year there were problems, but nothing that is any different than any other component, etc in the 1st year production.....it appears by many of the other's post, that there is a sense that something is wrong with your perceptions, I politely suggest that as a young gent, you simply step back, take a deep breath a realize that many have lived longer, experienced much more and been much more deeply involved that others and as such, will have different experiences, not just the ones of reading, but experiencing as well.

Did you not see I bolded the 5R55 and that is what I was referring to? For someone who regards themself as highly you I would have thought you would have been able to figure that out. Apparently not.

More incorrect information. The AOD is not in any way, shape, or form based off the C6. It is based off the FMX/Cruise-O-Matic. It's not a coincidence the first 3 ratios of an AOD and FMX are the same.
The E4OD/4R100 are based off the C6 - the E4 gearsets will fit right into a C6.

e-systems? If you mean electrical, AODs are completely hydraulic....
AOD not problematic? Even Ford knew they had issues. Just look at how many of these service bulletins are for AOD issues, and this is just a Crown Vic, never mind the tons of other vehicles that used the AOD: TSB for 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria V8-351 5.8L Technical Service Bulletins . You'll see some such as 4th gear failure, and lack of rear housing lubrication that the AODs are famous for.
Also keep in mind those TSBs are for a 1986 Crown Vic, that's 6 Yearsafter the AOD was introduced, and they were STILL having tons of issues. There were not just "1st year problems" with the AOD, they continued to have issues and failures until they were finally replaced by the AOD-E/4R70W
