Having owned Ford trucks, Dodge trucks & Chevy/GMC trucks I have come to the conclusion that all "new" trucks are awesome. They all are good for the first 50-100K...for the most part. But as for my money & for all my fleet trucks, I'll stick with the Chevy/GMC all day long.
Your right they’re all good if you just simply take care of them but I do understand you also get some bad apples like very 1st year new engines/drivetrains.

Love my LBZ, but I want touch a new one. Powerstrokes are just money pits. Anytime you have to work on the damn things the cabs need to be pulled. Powerstrokes are strong, but they will cost the hell out of you to fix. Now that Fiat bought the “RAM” truck they are not reliable. I owned one and they are unfortunately junk.

I had a 15 ram 2500 and it stayed in the shop 6 months out of the 13 months we owned it it was always something with the exhaust on the dpf they would fix it red tune it and it would last a couple days, so now I’ve just stayed with gas vehicles.

The engines going in these trucks now are just to much for the good ole Allison 1000. I have an L5P and it definitely feels like the tranny is just about at its max. It still shifts great and all, but I know that the stock power rating is about max for an allison 1000. Its common knowledge that the 1000 is great stock, but once you start adding power they can start slipping pretty quick if your not careful. Anyways, my point is, that I think the main reason for this new 10 speed in the HD’s is one, to offer a competitive product in this crazy truck market. Two, to get a heavier duty transmission backing the duramax as power levels continue to increase, the 1000 is just too old in the tooth for these powerful new engines, still a good transmission, just not up to the task of these newer engines. I think people are just letting there emotions get the best of them here, the 1000 has served us great these past 18 years, but its time to say goodbye and move on lol. I think this new 10 speed will be a great transmission, thats gonna be able to handle a lot more abuse then a 1000 could in these high power trucks they keep putting out, honesty if Allison has approved the design(I believe they were closely involved in the designing of the new trans), then its good enough for me. Allison wouldnt put there name on it if they didnt think it could live up to there brand name. Its gonna be all right. I thinking of make a tribute video to the 1000 for all the guys who are super sad to see it go, I must say Im a little sad to see it go, I was hoping that they would keep using a transmission that just isnt up to the task anymore, but sadly they wanted to give us a beefier trans, why would we ever want that, cmon gm. Haha all joking aside, the new trans is gonna be great, have an open mind. Sorry for the loonnnnnggggg comment!
They are Allison branded and are GM built it has nothing to do with Allison on this except the approval saying it's good enough to put their name on it. I guess this day in age that's good enough and call it a day, but for me just say it's GM built it's not going to matter!

Tranny line
Wow almost a 50/50 like to dislike ratio on this video... I just started it now. Cant wait to see why so many people dislike it.
Probably the same reason a lot of guys where Im at rag on me for just purchasing a 04 LLY crew cab with 220,000 miles on it the only thing I wish is that it was 4x4
I have a 05 lly gmc sierra (slt)crew cab, long bed that I bought with 182,000 on it and it's been a huge $ pit lol. Still love that truck though. At this point it's only missing a built Trans. I put everything I could on/into it. It's now tuned ect. Beast of a duraturd lol. I shouldn't trash the duramax it's the gm/Chevy I wish I could take out of it.
It's all Allison internals. And ya you had a shit lb7. Get an LBZ it's completely different.
Powerstrokes are absolutely horrible. Nothing but money pits so good luck with that.
Not true at all
I have to agree, I been a part time tower and ford powerstroke have had many more issues than dmax & cummins.
If it's a 7.3, it's not a money pit.
@@atx-cvpi_99 7.3s are good, but the 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes are trash.
@@atx-cvpi_99 agreed 7.3 is a badass rig.
I dont like any of the newer trucks i would own a used chevy but i heard from qc its not a gud idea to shop new
I wouldn't buy any of the new trucks from all of the manufacturers. None of them offer standard transmissions in any of there diesel trucks. I hate automatics.
300,000 ain’t that many miles😂
Nope it's not all diesels are just getting broke in. Lol
Damon L they can go all the way to 1 mille
All about the Cummings hell with Chevy I do not like fords especially the newer ones but I think in my opinion the 7.3 is the best in ford
You really don't know anything about diesels do you? Lol hat a joke
Allison is Trash has always been trash. 4L80E all the way. Stock can take 600 h.p. easy to get it more then that. Allison eats up horsepower
Caleb Willhelm AKA DESTINATION SOUTH okay dude I have an 07 Duramax with a 6 speed Allison and it’s holding 450 HP Great and I even turn it up sometimes my tuner to 580 HP AND it still holds grest
The 4l80e are junk know a lot of people who owned them and it give up on them all the time Allison is the best transmission on earth and take a beating better too!
Got 375k on lb7
at 310k injectors done studded and head gaskets done runs amazing. Original trans great pickup
Keep it going and stay away from the new stuff especially battery powered junk!
