If you could order any engine/tranny in any NEW truck...

i would have to say 05-07 lifted cc red dually..... with cummins and the torque shift tranny..... its designed by allison and imo is the best tranny hands down

 

First off, while I happen to disagree that the Allison is better, 6 speed, manual control of the gears, thats just an opinon difference. But second, the torque shift is not designed by Allison! Its very similar, but it is all Ford design.

 

i dont no i though thats what i heard when they first came out by i am prolly wrong.... but i beleive that the torque shift can hand more power then the allison (right outa the box)..... allison may have all of its fancy features and what not as well as this limp mode i have been hearing about when to much power is sensed by the computer but torque shift is more durable and.... the torque shift might as well be a 6 speed..... it has 6 forward gear ratios

 

need a superduty with a 5.9. i love the manual i just need more than 6 gears! maybe 8 or 10imp:

 

'06 chevy 3500 crew cab lwb, drw, 4x4 w/ straight axle front end and a 610 CTD with allison 6spd. and a np205 tc

 

My would be Dodge Ram with 600 series Cummins and ATS Transmission or a Allison

 

I'm with 9612vcummins. Cept the allison would be heavily modded for all the power a fella could send to it!

 

being a big dodge man its hard for me to admit this but... If i could order an F450 pickup with the new cummins 6.7 with a P7100 pump and non of the other crap they have piled on these new engines, and a double over 13 speed there would be 2 in the driveway right now

 

You could build that, except use an 8.3 Cummins with a P-pump. It would be way too costly to adapt a P-pump to a 6.7, vs just using an engine that already had it.

 

i'd have to go with an 08 F-450 4x4 common rail cummins diesel backed with a NV5600. Real truckers don't tow with automatics(sorry allison supporters). GM lost all my support when they did away with the 6-spd man.

 

My current truck

 

2008 Chevy with LBZ Duramax with the 6 speed Allison.

 

2008 Ford F-450 CrewCab Long bed DRW C-7 cat with 350 hp and 5R1100 trans.waytogo

 

Ford F450 DRW L/Bed / 330 cat / allison 6 speed

 

Dodge Mega Cab dually 4x4, Cummins 6.7/Allison 6 spd., black on black.waytogo

 

2010 Ford F-550 with pre emissions C7 Cat or 400 Cummins either one with 3 stage jakes, and 13spd tranny

 

I'd go with a 6.7L Cummins in a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Big Horn Edition or something. It's where it belongs and I like the body styles of Dodges anyway. After that I'd go with a Chevy. Great tranny's But if it were any engine and any tranny then it's Dodge all day
