Then why publish this? It has been this way since 2007.
You think everyone knows this? I did not until recently.
I guess that reflects the importance/relevance of the whole label issue.
If it has been that way since 2007 what difference does it make?
The labeled trannies seem to be as robust as the non labeled models
I guess i could say the same to all think it was worth commenting on my FACTUAL statement, what difference does it make???
You guys are making a big deal out of it. I even made it VERY clear I was NOT dissing it.
Funny only part of my post that had any replies. Not a word if they may lockout the starting gears or not.
Still trying to grasp the labels.
Allison was always a division of GM, at least since the 1930's or something?
The Allison 1000 series was made at GM'S plant in MD by Allison, which is supposed to close this year?
Did GM build the tranny somewhere and ship it to MD, so Allison can install the label, or does Allison just ship labels to Flint?
Gm spun DDA off to a holding company or something in 07?
The 10 speed is going to be a partnership between GM and Allison label aside?
Does any of it matter? Back in the day Pops had a Isuzu Luv POS with a big bowtie badge they slapped on it. It was actually a pretty decent little junker for 1/3 of a truck from what I can remember.
