I too find it hard to believe dodge gets such a rap for these trans.
YES they can do better and lost a lot of customers because of some failures, but in the early 80 chevy had the 700r4 and a dealer showed me a factory letter that stated they believed close to 100% failed before 50,000!!!!!! Then the chevy guys make such a deal about the dodge auto when maybe 15% have issues!!!
A shift kit will double the life of any dodge auto, in my opinion.
