Haha i know.. But if the modified was efi then it might have a chance :P I have seen the cummins/allison combo in pickups before. They would come into the GMC dealership i worked at to get fluid changes or other stuff done. Mostly engine work.

The Alisson is a great trans....in a pick-up. We have them in some of our big army trucks (2.5T and up), the early gens are the biggest pieces of ******. The newer ones are much better but I still don't really trust them once they get some miles on them.

I have seen allison cummins combos but I believe they are swaps and not OEM.

When the Dodge had all the tranny probs they were Dodge 727 torque flights with overdrive (A518s), they couldn't take the power of the Cummins......

Yes the newer ones are much better .......

We haven't had rain in almost 50 days. For Washington state 51 days is the record, i have a feeling we will top that. But that just means we will probably have a lame winter with little to no snow.

Yeah I was leading a massive (well about 15 trucks) Humvee drivers training event today. Just after we fueled up it hit us like a monsoon. Made having a rookie driver behind the wheel that much more stressful.
