I’ve always owned GM, but we recently bought the Jeep Patriot for the wife. If you are buying new: lifetime warranty \> \* ---

then if lifetime warranty that would be no brainer. i think the 3500 and commercial are excluded from lifetime if i recall ---

Shooting for stick. I would prefer Allison + 8.1 if available if I have to go with an auto. I don’t know about the RFE545 in a 3/4 ton and 9000 lbs behind it. They say it will be fine…but think about this: the RFE 545 is the same transmission in the Charger R/T I already have!!! ---
