June 27, 2026 Is This The Ultimate Transmission for a Cummins?
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.
