Any particular reason? I'm not a hauler, but all I hear are good things about the Allison trans. in the Chevrolet/GMC. Also, it seems that the Chrysler rear ends leak on just about every RWD truck/SUV I come across.quote:

Dodge now sources their axles from the same vendor as GM. The Allison is a very good transmission and superior to the four speed Dodge. Next year Dodge will use a new five speed automatic along with a larger 6.7 Cummins. The DuraMax or PowerStroke just aren't in the same league as a Cummins. 500,000 miles is ice cream for a Cummins. It will cost significant repair bills to get a DMax or PS that far.quote:

My friend who was really into trucks always said a cummins was the diesel you could put a stacks on and have it sound like a semi and he was right. And I like the fact that it has 24 valves.quote:

Word is you will see that soon. I doubt it will have any where near the tow/haul capability of any presently available.quote:

Too bad the rest of the truck wouldn't make it.quote:

The main problem with the Cummins engine is that it has a Dodge truck wrapped around it! Whenever I get in a five year old Dodge, it's fit,finish, and paint aren't going the distance.quote:
