Dodge trannys are no poorer than any others.

You must not have had yours long. I've never had issues with a transmission dying except in a Dodge. They are quite a bit worse than quite a few others out there.

The main problem with Dodge truck 46re is that the check valve in the cooling lines gets clogged and suffocates the trans and burns the thing up.

Ive owned 2 chevys with both trans craping out on me, and the 46re is still running and shifting smooth at 178,000k. So I can't really say to much bad about mine since both chevy 700r trans went before 150,000k. But I'm still saving for a re-build.

Considering he's had his on the road for 450k, I think he's had his a while.

I've owned this truck for 11 years, and have driven the **** out of it in that time. All the guys I work with that have GM full size trucks with over 100,000 miles have had at least 1 transmission rebuild!!
