Your 2008 has the Dodge transmission. In 2013, Ram started using the Aisin medium duty truck transmission. They also completely redesigned the frame in 2013 and increased fuel rail pressure boosting torque. Those changes greatly increased the Ram’s capability. That was my first Ram. They continued to upgrade torque. The 2021 has 1075 ft lbs. I believe my 2013 had 850 ft lbs of torque. They have also upped the camera and safety features. My favorite upgrade is the adaptive cruise control.
