How many Allison transmission threads can we start in a 24hr period? Hmmm...

OK, sorry guy, but please, use the search feature. THIS THREAD was started just yesterday and I'm not retyping it all. It's a start, and searching will get you more. Happy hunting..

that was a whit f350 in Diesel Power with cummins and Allison in it, but he had to do all the programming by himself, since NOONE manufactures programmers yet to do Ford/Cummins/Allison

Destroked.com carries the stand alone Allison controller, but it's $1600.

but is it worth the cost?
Then you have to buy the flexplate ($600), the adapter plate ($800), and then of course there is the transmission. The Allison is not all that mighty in stock configuration. A stock Dmax with a tuner can get the Allison to slip..... a LOT. Plan on a full build if you want to put some serious power to the ground. In all, when you include everything, you'll spend more than $8,000 to get an Allison in there (to be more realistic, probably closer to $10,000).

Or, you can get a fully built BTS for half the price, and it's a bulletproof transmission that will hold every bit as much power as any built Allison.

Yes John Woods is another good builder. He is highly recommended, just like BTS. Those are probably the top two builders of the 4r100's in the country.

Now, why the F would you want to put an allison behind a 7.3? Thats like wiping your *** with cardboard, it works, but not like it should!

Either one really. It's up to you. Both have very loyal customers.

As long as you don't wipe with pinecones or moss
