why are dodge transmissions labeled as crap(no offence)

I disagree, dodge trans are durable as long as you don't go over board with power upgrades. I own 3 dodge rams, two with 5spds but I also have a 98.5 Dodge Ram 4X4 with the Cummins 24 valve backed by the 47RE 4spd overdrive trans. The trans is bone stock. I've done alot of truck pulls/racing with it and use it as my daily driver. Its got 169000 miles on it and so far NO trans issues. The 47RE which came out in the late 90s and the 48RE which were put in when cummins came out with their common rail inject diesel in 2004 and newer trucks were built alot stronger then the a500s that backed the 12 valve cummins. Dodge also made the error of choosing a torgue converter that could only handle about 250 hp and maybe 450 ft lbs even in these trans. Any attempt to add power to the motor would 9 times out of 10, blow the trans. So if you leave the truck stock, and perform proper maintance, the trans will last forever. And dodge corrected that torque converter issues with their new allision beating 6spd trans. I've heard rumors of these new trans capable of handleing upto 700 ft lbs of torque.
