dodge and allison transmissions
Now I got a 99 V10 dodge ram 2500, I have put 3 transmissions in it in 10 years. Its a work truck obviously... But I wanna throw an Allison transmission in it. Is it possible? please let me know

actually you can, it a Ford F-650, at least the older ones.- If you can spring for one of the newer 6.7 CTD it has a great 6 speed auto behind it that works every bit as well as the Ally.

And by coincidence, the last to pieces of fire apparatus that I designed, BOTH had Cummins and Allison paired together.... too bad none of the P/U truck builders build that combination! ScottG wrote:

It would cost far more than the truck is worth though. Besides, with a good rebuild your trans is every bit as strong as the Ally.

I'd replace with a more robust Dodge tranny. They were known to be weak in stock form in those years. We also had a 2001 46RE which failed at 75K miles.- I don't think there's any kit available to do it but of course with enough money anything is possible.
