RE: dodge allison transmission?
"The Chrysler built 68RFE in the 2500 and 3500 Pick-ups is right on par with the Allison 1000."
Good one, and I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale..............
Like I said about the new Ford transmission:When they put a Dodge tranny in a US Army tank, let me know.......
RE: Well, I made it 1/2way up Teton Pass...
AS I recall, there is a sign at teh bottom that warns drivers that unless you have an Allison tranmssion, you should use the bypass and avoid this steep grade.
RE: News from Ford (Mike Levine)
Well if 1st is a 'granny' gear then you really only have 7 speeds ,and if 8th is a double overdrive only used on the flats with a light load your back to 6 speeds. :-)
And if you are hauling a big load in town, you can't use 7th gear.
And if I keep typing, this transmission will end up being a 3 on the tree.....
RE: 150k mile Cummins or Duramax
Also, don't let anyone trick you into thinking that a 2005 Duramax will overheat. Nothing more than an Internet legend........
RE: News from Ford (Mike Levine)
When the US Army puts this unit in a tank, I will be impressed. Until then, Allison is the still the best..............
