The Allison trans puts the GM driveline above the rest. It is the only auto trans out there that will stay together when it gets worked on a daily basis.

Still the top dog and the engine has proven to be very reliable. The other two are starting with new engines, hopefully Ford has wised up and gone with full Bosch engine controls and management which seems to be the key to reliability

I read all the diesel mags for the news.

The Duramax is designed and manufactured in the USA, with some design input from Isuzu. Cummins also went overseas for their most recent light duty pickup diesel engine designs(Bosch).
Check the diesel forums, Dodge has been struggling to get the output from it's new engines and also pass the new emission requirements. I have never dogged the Dodge engine, it's just the rattle box they put it in.

The dodge has nothing for the d max anymore......cummins has now been left far in the dust....that d max motor is a highly refined piece of work.....light years ahead of the cummins tractor motor....nothing against cummins....they are great.....but the d max flows way more...smoother...way far out engineering.....like the computor is cooled by the fuel.....there are a lot of weirdo things like that....I have fired mine for first time last night....mad power...and not even in the boost
