Welcome back yotaboy.  Nice looking new tow rig.  How do you like it.  I love my duramax, and when I lift it it'll be a lot better IMHO.



i love it i picked it up about 5 months ago with 76000 miles on it for 18k it tows like hell and rides nice too. the plans are. the edge controller, MBRP exhaust, intake, 6 speed Alli conversion, leveling kit and 33's

6 speed Alli conversion

pm info on this.  I've been trying to find out how to swap my 05 over to a 6sp allison with no luck.  I want double overdrive.

I know someone in R&D @ allison and they are coming out with a conversion to run the 6 speed world series (Big rig tranny) transmission behind a powerstroke, cummins or duramax.... thats gonna be the way to go

thats the same one i sent him info for, the only thing you dont get that the new 6 speed Allison's had from the factory is the manual shift option

no and i don't know, considering that the warranty of the 5speed Allison's should of expired by now i don't think the warranty really matters

drive it for now.  it has some tranny issues that will be covered under warranty.  it also has a small crack on the exhaust manifold.  it drives super nice though.  it needs a brake controller first of all.  other then that it is set for now.

Nice looking tow rig brad.  You'll hate the interior though compared to the ford.  At least I did when I had my dodge.  I couldn't wait to get rid of it.  But it towed really well I can't say anything bad about the cummins.

the interior is actually really nice.  it is loaded, heated seats and everything.  my ford was a pos compared to this thing.

I'm simply meaning space and seat comfort.  I had cloth seats but I had back problems after 2 hours in the truck.  The rear seat was a joke and had less room than my friends ex-cab chevy.  My wife couldn't even sit back there without hitting the front seats.  It just didn't work for my needs but I'm glad to see you got a new truck.  You'll love the cummins engine for pulling.
