## Resource

The 68RFE has been one of the most debated transmissions in the diesel truck world. Some owners have had great luck with them, while others start looking for alternatives as power levels increase or reliability becomes a concern. In this episode, we talk with a diesel shop owner about the ATS Allison transmission conversion for Ram Cummins trucks. We discuss why some owners are making the switch, how the Allison integrates with the Cummins platform, what the installation process looks like, and how it compares to the factory 68RFE and older 48RE transmissions.
