Main Responsibilities. Marine engineers are responsible for the design, maintenance and repair of the various mechanical systems in a ship. A marine engineer often works closely with the architect who designed the initial blueprint for a shipâs structure.
The transmission wildcard here is the Ram truck. Ram doesnât offer a medium-duty-truck transmission in its pickup. So weâve chosen to compare the automatics from Ford and GM to the Aisin Seiki AS68RC six-speed found in Ramâs cab-and-chassis trucksâand not the 68RFE six-speed used in Ram pickups. Will this Aisin Seiki be the next transmission offered in the Ram pickup once its power goes up? We wouldnât be surprised.
Ford-O-Matic was the first automatic transmission widely used by Ford Motor Company. It was designed by Borg Warner Corporation and introduced in 1951 model year cars. The three-speed Ford-O-Matic evolved into the MX and FX or Cruise-O-Matic transmissions in 1958 and the FMX in 1968. This line continued in production until 1980, when the AOD was introduced.
