Supposedly, Aisin made a lot of improvements and upgrades to the 2014+ AS69rc, compared to the older AS68rc that has been around since 2008 in the chassis-cabs.
2017 Duramax

from that, looks like you will still have issues with the trans down the road and the 900ft lbs of torque wont help that
Yep they are going to lose there ass on warranty work. I'd like to see them use the 68 but tune it the way we do in the aftermarket they would handle stock power fine even at 900 ft lbs imo mine has done fine with over 1k tq my parents trucks have done fine in the 900 range for 80k miles each my dad's tows very heavy to

I personally think they need to find a transmission they really like and stick with it. Just giving it updates along the line. Duramax/Allison has been out for what 15 years now? They had growing pains and aren't perfect but kept updating getting better and better.

If it drives with no slipping banging of gear or issues why would i? We change fluid every 25k and change filters same time always nice and clean.
You have issues... Our lml is around and somtimes over 30k and the mileage is better than lb7 or lbz could ever dream of...
I'm thinking his truck might be going into regen a lot.

6.7 cummins is the new generation 6.0 powerstroke... Needs head studs to hold any power! Lol
At least the ford had a good trans... :roflmao:

I find it funny the 6.7 powerstroke is using a turbo very similar to the LLY now, guess they had enough of ceramic ball bearing turbos lol.6.7 cummins is the new generation 6.0 powerstroke... Needs head studs to hold any power! Lol

I was getting 7.7 in town and 12.6 or something on the highway, it was terrible...
That's exactly what I am getting. It sucked stock and didn't improve with anyones tunes. At least I have power.

Good god, really?! I didn't think they were that bad!
couple friends of mine have LML's and they all get decent economy...17mpg highway hand calculated, 12 towing.
17 highway at 65mph.... Wife's 6.2 Yukon gets 16.9 in town....
Both of our LMLs get the same terrible mileage... But I still love the trucks.
Big Block, come hook your lml to my boat, I promise you, you won't make more than 200 miles before you have to refuel.

be curious what my dads '15 gets. his '10 LMM got 15 in town and 10 towing. truck was 100% stock as is the '15
My 15 mileage wasn't bad at all when it was stock. I drove it that way for 12k miles, never a complaint but I didn't hand calc much. Just watched the DIC
