New truck - Page 2

I do know the Allison name is their big truck transmissions. I'm not sure on the GM diesel as the last one I had was the
straight Chevy diesel from "82. I would say all the new diesels cost money when they break. Check on the net for who has the best
track record as far as breakdowns. Good luck.

The 3/4 ton Chevy I used to pull campers had a hauling addition from the factory, and I used rear tires that were about 2" wider than normal. I could pull up to a 36' travel trailer with mine safely. (I used load leveler bars on my hitch also).

Couldn't agree more! After switching back to a 3/4 ton I wouldn't consider anything less ! And to tell you the truth I'm thinking next truck will be 1 ton.
