Anyone having trouble with hurricane HO transmission. 1800 miles and at the dealership twice towed in within two days. Hard clunking at acceleration and transmission light on. Stays in first gear.

Anyone having trouble with hurricane HO transmission.

It's the same 8HP75 transmission that Ram has been using in the Gen5 trucks and it's the same family of transmissions used in Gen4 trucks also. It's fairly trouble free trans with not many problems reported since they first started using them back in 2013. They're also good for lots of mileage with proper maintenance, several reporting topping over 400K miles and one that failed at almost 750K miles(lots of those miles were towing).
The problem ones that have been reported have usually been fixed by replacing the valve body/TCU assembly or swapping out the entire transmission.

As crash68 said, this is a pretty solid transmission.
