Saw a magazine article where someone put a cummins and an allison into a SuperDuty. Didn't read anything but the cover blurb, but maybe someone was a little confused.

Here's an excerpt from the FTE chat we had with Chris Brewer, an engineer with the Super Duty program, last year:

ON EDIT: Remember that the Cummins ISB isn't even competitive anymore! It only makes 350/650 compared to the Powerstroke's 400/800. I'll keep my PSD, thanks!

the new cummins isnt the same reliable beast as the older 5.9 and that allison doesnt really impress me over the torqshift as far as reliability and preformance but i dont have alot of personal experience with either mostly just an opinion from what ive been told and read
