The allison trans is fantastic and the brakes stop the rig flawlessly.

Mike, we have a '05 GMC Duramax/Allison bought new. Light towing only---all services performed. Was disappointed to lose Allison trans after a trip from Ma to NC and back. Failed off 72k warranty at 85k miles. Just put in a Allison factory re-build----very pricey project. Love the truck, but disappointed....the Allisons aren't supposed to fail that quick, just bad luck, I guess.....WJ
