You are going to put in a built Allison right? With what you'll be putting out your trans is not going to last long at all. From what I've read about the Allison, slipping it just once or twice really shortens the life of it. I know my friend has a Suncoast in his with around 160K trouble free miles on it.

Yeah, you've heard the same things I have. I'm having a trans built and shipped to the guy doing the install so I've got the trans in it before I even get the truck back.

The HP/TQ is a freebie.... I'm thrilled I'll be getting over 20 mpg on the highway.
