I've always been curious about that Allison that gets used in pickups behind that Duramax. Allison is known for their trannys, at least in big trucks. I wonder about that little one, and don't mean that as a slight to it or any of its users or owners. Here's my point...I have an '02 Cummins Dodge with an automatic too, and I don't use it often. Love the truck, bought it new, this one mostly doesn't get used and sits in the barn. I just hit 60K on it, 30K of which I put on it last year, easy miles...and just had $2,700 in work done to it for new torque converter and other stuff coming apart. That's the second major repair by 60K miles, the first one at around 25K and warranty by the factory, not the second one by years...just missed it. That Cummins is a great engine, backed up by no trans. Should they have backed it up by an Allison maybe? My '96 just keeps going, and going, and going, but manual trans. I love the manual trans and if one was on the lot when I bought the '02, wouldn't be asking about Allisons and wouldn't have been into a second major at 60K.
So to you Allison guys, is it worth it? Does it take what that Duramax gives it? I sure hope you guys have better luck with your automatic than I've had with mine.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
