Dodge trannies can handle 100hp over stock. Allisons aren't any better. It's the FERD trannies that are really strong.

The Torqshift is a monster i agree. even the old souped up E4OD which is called the 4R100 in the 7.3 is pretty tough though its only a four speed. my older Torqshift has 6 gears. it only uses 5 at a time depending on temp and if in tow mode. the new one has 7 or 8 and uses 6 depending on the conditions. they are one big bastard. my dad has a 1997 ram v-10. the only thing that will stop it is a gas station. its on its 3rd engine. but those were the ones that everyone worried about trans problems. still the same trans and he has blown botl ines at different times. so it has ran out of fluid twice. but she is still plowing and pullin. just recently the collector flanges rusted through. looks like i got some work ahead of me. prolly gonna just pull the engine again. figure those nuts and bolts are more loose than the manifold bolts.

If that truck had a 12 valve it would still be on its first engine. You say you're going to pull the motor again? Find a 12 valve and bomb it. Upgrade the tranny and it will be an awesome truck again.

A 97 V-10 must be a real POS !, If an engine cant last 13 years ? Let alone 3 motors in 13 years ? and how many miles ? Apparently things other than a gas station CAN stop it ! Thank God I went to a Superduty !!!!! My $.02 Mike
