anyone have a towing compairison between the two? iam thinking gears would have an adverse effect on towing quality, I have heard the 3.42's are not so desirable, however I have the 3.73's which I had on my duramax. I can only presume that the 3.73's coupled with the aisin would make a good match. It definatly shifts differently than my Allison did but feels as strong in my opinon. Time will tell I suppose!
These guys sort of did:

Wow, the GM was 10 seconds faster on a 9 minute run up a mountain pass. Everyone should run and buy the GM, because it is 1.8 percent faster up the mountain.
At 397 HP the Duramax has 12 more HP or 3 percent more, however it was only 1.8 percent faster. Horse Power is what wins races. Torque gets things moving.
I am happy with what we bought and hope everyone else is happy with what they bought. We kept the last truck 14 years, so at my age this will most likely be our last truck!
