Kinda forgot if the 2.53 is correct but something like that and not a 3.73 for sure. Always seemed to be odd but it worked ok. chevmanlarry barnhart wrote:Cummins12V98 wrote:I have owned many GM trannies.

Let's make this perfectly CLEAR. The trans in the current GM's are only "BRANDED ALLISON". Makes me all warm and fuzzy.
RAM has a Chrysler trans and AISIN MD trans. Ford has its own HD trans. No smoke and mirrors with either of them.

I am assuming yours is actually built by Allison?
To be clear I am not saying anything bad about the current GM trans it's just a bit deceiving.
