Ram claims the transmission has a 64% higher input torque capacity than the 68RFE. It is manufactured by Aisin Seiki, a Japanese automotive parts supplier. Though actual input torque capacity is unknown, its application suggests it is in the 850-950 lb-ft range. The AS69RC also replaced the AS68RC in chassis cab models for 2013. Its wide ratio spread provides low gearing for tow applications, while a relatively high 0.63 second overdrive keeps engine rpm low at highway speeds to maximize fuel economy. The AS69RC was replaced in Ram chassis cab 4500/5500 truck models by the Aisin AS66RC beginning the 2014 model year.
