As far as transmissions go the Allison in the GM trucks is one of the best/proven transmissions going, a true truck transmission.
Please post where the Allison 1000 is used in a "true" truck! The Allison 1000 was created for the GM pickups and may have found it way to gas motorhomes. It is not a medium duty truck transmission used behind high torque engines. people that race or pull with Duramax truck tend to put built Dodge 47RE transmission in them.
GM has stayed on the sidelines of the HP and Torque race do to the limits of the current Allison.
