Rumors were shy at the beginning, but now it is obvious that FCA is considering the 2023 Ram 3500 Allison gearbox switch. Chevrolet Silverado HD class improved the performance when the company delivered a new transmission. Now, Ram is also considering to replace the AISIN box with a smoother case. Well, the heavy-duty lineup is already impressive, with the Series 3
truck being able to tow more than 37,000 pounds. The new gearbox would make the rig even more stunning. Speculations are not confirmed yet. Our rumors within the FCA are reporting there are strong pushes for this to go through. A lot of experts believe the Allison gearbox is definitely going to make the Ram 3500 better. But, this is a big move and requires a lot of negotiations and reconsiderations. Stakes are not small, but the gain could be huge. 2023 Ram 3500 Allison Diesel Engine SpecsThe first thing coming to our mind is how the 2023 Ram 3500 Allison is going to work with a diesel unit. The only answer to this question is to wait and see. But, experts and fans are enthusiastic. Pairing the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel with a new transmission is going to bring improvements, for sure. AISIN case was criticized a lot and it seems that FCA engineers took the best of it. Now, it is time for changes and improvements, and the Allison transmission is the best the market can offer at this point. The latest update on a 6.7-liter engine made it capable of producing 400 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Converted to towing capacity, that is 37,100 pounds. The next edition might reach 40k with the Allison transmission. Or the FCA is going to sacrifice stunning outputs to get a smoother ride?  CompetitionThe latest update of the gearbox made Chevy Silverado 3500 as impressive as its rivals. We can say that GM was losing battle with FCA and Ford in the truck market, but this move made its vehicles important again. The truck increased power outputs and maximum towing capacity. AISIN haven’t updated its transmission for a while, and there are no announcements of this happening in the foreseeable future. This sparked rumors about the 2023 Ram 3500 Allison. Silverado HD (and its mechanical twin, GMC Sierra) is one of the rivals. But, Ford is still dominating the truck segment. F-350 is a Series 3 model that exploits Powerstroke turbodiesel engine capable of delivering similar outputs as the Ram 3500. The Blue Oval company is not considering big moves for the near future. A 10-speed case is a pair for the F-350 and we will see it delivering 1,050 lb-ft and 450 hp. When Will 2023 Ram 3500 Allison Be Available?Since the company is not announcing big news for the 2022 season, truckers and enthusiasts are sure that the 2023 Ram 3500 Allison will be the first model to use a new gearbox. However, it is a big move, and especially risky now when FCA built the reputation and becoming the main threat to Ford’s supremacy in the truck market.
