@silentbravo Lift pump is in the plans just giving you a hard time lol
Honestly a built trans is as well if I can ever get to it. They really aren’t all that much…

also just averaged 17+mpg (hand calc) over 3500mi in the last 2 weeks pulling a trailer that ranged from 1800-5500lb.
@silentbravo You guys are really good at helping ensure my truck lasts until I'm done using it!
a good clutch on a stock ZF6 would've been cheaper & stronger... just sayin'

Just kidding. So the Allison 1000 can't handle a lot more torque than stock? I thought they were very robust. I've got one sitting in my backyard that came mated to an 8.1 for pretty cheap. I really need to find a use for it or something.

They can handle some power over stock from the factory but need to be built to withstand any real power. It isn’t too expensive to build them either although I guess neither is a 4L80 really
What would you trade for it? Could build it as a secondary and swap it out over the weekend lol

EDit: I thought in my mind the Allison was the best automatic transmission compared to the other manufacturers of HD's of that generation? But maybe I'm wrong. I don't believe neither the Dodge 48RE or Ford's 5R100(?) were as strong as the Allison, in stock form. Aftermarket may be different.
The 4L80e seems like it has actually become a common swap option for the earlier Cummins guys, like maybe late 90s trucks? I don't really know what they do to them or how they hold up long term. I suppose those earlier engines put out a more modest amount of torque compared to the later diesels.
