Perfect world PW

[OffroadTreks]

My source told me the new NV HD 8-Speed was coming. It will not be the same 8-speed as in the 1500. Ram has also been pushing AISIN to develop something. They're not happy about Ford having all the cool gearing.

Engine and Transmission updates are going to be well over due after the big maker overs. With the monster torque and improving fuel mileages that Ford is delivering GM and Ram are going to be forced to do something sooner then later. I would not be surprised to see new drive-train a few years down the road. Probably a bad time to buy a new PW in 2019 or 2020 when the new model comes out. Might be leaving something on the table not waiting.

Well here is a small bit of info for all of u. I have looked closely at the test mule we have in our test garage and it will have the same drive train for now. There is a small update to the trans but can't say what. Also the front end will be a little longer it seems.

Any word on suspension? Particularly the rear spring layout?

I just know the mule has the 68rfe with some updates and we r set to keep building it for another 3 years. FCA only builds 8 speeds for vehicles with a v6, ZF builds everything else now. 8 speed HD is coming but they probably won't announce where it's to be built until after contract next year. It's a big negotiating tool for them.

No idea on suspension updates. I don't think u will see anything there.
