What I'm seeing today

[skyhightree1]

Doge hasnt had a transmission problem in their diesel trucks since 07
So don't know what you are referring too
I would put the Aisin transmission up against a Allison anyday

AC I honestly don't know what year the builder I do a lot of work for had but they were at least 2009 models im sure. He had multiple tranny issues with those when they hit about 150k miles.. I wish I could say he went to ford and was happy but he replaced them with chevys. He has about 40 trucks all were dodge and I want to say a good 4 had tranny issues. He had a 5500 I want to say don't quote me but that thing was a POS always having tranny issues or transfer case problems the others were regular 1500 or2500 gas burners. I drove some of them a few times plenty of power like I say great power and motors.

I can't really say anything bad about their motors[/size].

I advise hearing protection, even if you're in the cab. If you're standing along the road...

Poor old dodge, always having to rely on someone else's parts.

Right, Allison, Isuzu- duramax. And ford hasn't had a good diesel since the 7.3 international.

Allison-Detroit, Isuzu, and duramax are all GMC owned, unlike Dodge.

Allison is not GM owned anymore, atleast that's what tvey told me and what I just read when I looked it up. And yes, Isuzu is partially GM owned.

Hey, it's nothing to me, I'm not stuck on any brand, I like Chevys really well and IF ford was building a good diesel truck I would consider one. I've been happy with my 07 dodge for over 200k trouble free miles.

 

[sim.-ang.king]

The Allison plant that makes the GMC transmissions, is owned by GMC, that was part of the division deal. So the Allison transmissions in the GMC trucks, are owned by GMC.

What did that take you sky 20 minutes or so?

 

[skyhightree1]

These are a pain in the azz to repair. Looks like It's been leaking for some time. Are you going to replace the intake manifold aswell .? They are made of some type of plastic and warp. You can buy from Ford for about 800.$ or Amazon for about 200$ +-. I know because I have been searching for the best deal for mine. Good luck.

Yea I had it fixed in 4 hours biggest pain was getting the piece in the manifold..It was leaking for a while from that pipe I replaced. The intake had the plastic piece you are speaking of but was fine and intact. Easy job just so much crap you have to take loose and put back. I wish I could have sat in the engine compartment like the old 70's and 80's trucks
