...researching the Allison transmissions in those trucks, the M1 tank and others. The Allison now offered for the Dura-Max gmc uses the 1,000 and 2,000 series Allisons and the torque and horsepower ratings will NOT work in with the Cummins. They are only good to 300 HP and 550 pounds of torque. The next size up is a light duty with a HD kit, something I suppose Dodge did with the Torqueflight to save developement costs. I suppose you could use the 3200 series, a 1,100 pound monster that fits into cement trucks...ha!ha! I did find some interesting info about the Texas Co. that builds the new generation Military trucks, Stewart and Stevenson (http://www.ssss.com/home/) they use a special model Allison that might work, they also bought Pinz from the British holding company and build those now. Too bad they didn't buy Vulvo, BZ could get parts for his rig locally.....= )
