Is this an NV3550? I had one in my Dakota. The truck weighed 4000 pounds and ran high 12's for a few hundred passes. The only caveat was I didn't use slicks, launch hard or power-shift, but the transmission lasted about 75,000 miles. If it were cheap and easy I would run one while I saved for a T56, Passon's new one or something else stronger.

Damn Right I Carry!
Me thinks he's not putting a 5 spped in a magnum???
I'm pretty sure he is talking about the NV-3500 or the Ax-15, both were used in Magnum bases Dakota's and Rams, throughout the 90's and 2k. They are not a very strong trans, but they are reliable. I've beat on an AX-15 for years before I stroked my Dakota's 318, then it was time to step it up to a TKO-600.

Don't sell the AX15 short! The Toyota Supra guys are putting close to a 1000hp in front of modified Aisin-Warner boxes.
There are many oem applications for the AX15 with a tremendous aftermarket following. If you need 5 gears you should look at them.

You're over here too Gary? Geez!
The AX-15 is a good transmission. Not bulletproof by any means, but not a lot of newer transmissions are without going through them. They can definitely be built up to take more power, but even in stock form I think they're strong enough for just about anything a small block could throw at them on the street. Unless you're drag racing all the time with sticky tires I don't think you'd have any issues.
