Great Trannys, had one in an '02 Dually, and presently have one in 2500HD and Motorhome. The 8.1 engine and Allison trans were why I bought the MoHo vs the V-10 Ford setup.

My buddies at the shop here do SWEAR by the synthetic for these big slipNgrips... THey say that there is no doubt about the increase in hard parts life with the full synthetic on high high mileage transmissions...
Most of their work is on trash trucks with a BAZILLION miles on them... THese little 1000s are about 1/3 the diameter for the frictions/steels/torque converters...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves.

my favorite brain teaser is the AOD fully hydraulic OVERDRIVE valve body... 
One clarification on this Allison failure, this transmission is from a 4x4 and the needle thrust that failed is smaller in the earlier version of the 1000 that has a transfer case hanging on the back end. The 2wd versions and the upgraded 4x4s have the larger thrust bearing in that cluster for the output shaft to ride against...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves.

The ones pictured above are from trash trucks... The airport tugs use a medium size Allison and they are breaking the cases quite often since the tugs essentially don't have springs/suspension... Originally Posted by The Doctor

I think to get an Allision in a FORD your going to have to shop for a F550 and up, I really dont know BUT I know. I have a guy for that...
"The 2016 F-650 and F-750 trucks, which will go on sale in the spring of 2015, will be assembled at Ford's plant in Avon Lake, Ohio, and feature chassis, engine and transmissions all built in-house.
For years, the two vehicles were built on chassis made in Escobedo, Mexico, under a joint venture with Navistar, using diesel engines supplied by Cummins and transmissions supplied by Allison."
Personally I would pick the version JBS has A Cummins engine and an Allision trans should be a stout and reliable combo for a LONG time...

I'm yanking your chain Bruce.
Remember where both Buzzz and Paul work. They've already seen and tested everything Ford will put out in the next few years. Ask them about the Kingsford Ranch edition F-150. Photos already hit the internet with that one but you might never find them under that "nickname."The best things in life aren't things!
