You can ask any competent tranny shop what will destroy an automatic faster than anything, and the answer will be heat. There are no inherent weaknesses in the Dodge automatics behind the Cummins engines. There may have been converter problems, but I never had any on my '92. They have a 6 pinion overdrive planetary instead of the 3 pinion unit found behind gas burners. It's basically the old torque-flite with an overdrive bolted on the back, and those are tough transmissions. My grandpa has a 1990 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel with a 3 spd auto. He shelled it out in the first 30,000 miles. A new transmission and an auxiliary cooler with electric fans was installed at the same time, and 150,000 miles later it is still going strong - after years of hauling 50 head of fat hogs on a 26 foot stock trailer and every other kind of abuse you can imagine. Keep the tranny cool, use quality fluid and service the tranny properly, including the band adjustments, and I don't think he'll have a problems. Some guys have torn multiple trannies out, but those are usually the guys that can ruin an anvil with a rubber hammer.
