Default Allison swap maybe?

So I see a bunch I guys swapping the 4l80e in and all that but has anyone done an allison instead? Allison probably has a stand alone computer seeing as its not built by gm. Plus the Allison has 6 speeds! Was wondering if you could do it in a 1500?

They r 5 and 6 speeds and there huge and would kill power over the 80e and no point to have such a massive Tranny for a gas motor imo.

From what I know the Allison's don't like high RPM.

OP, it'd probably be best if you just went ahead and told everyone what your plans are..
