Takes me back to a clown who I met at a fuel stop about 15 years ago.Yea I don’t think an Allison or 6.0 has ever been offered in a half ton suburban or Tahoe. A 2500 was offered with a 6.0 but still no Allison.
I pulled up to the pump in my new 2007 Durama/Ally 3500. Next to me was a guy with a Ford 7.3L Superduty 350 dually. He says to me “Duramax/Allison, huh?”
It was a hot summer day, I wasn’t in the mood and said “yep” and went about my business. He says back to me, “I love the Allison in my Ford”. Now keep in mind, Ford Superduty F-350s do NOT have an allison. I said something like “it’s a GM exclusive transmission”. He said “awww bulls__t, it’s an allison“. I said ”no it’s not, it’s a Ford built 4R100“. He said he got the “Allison option”. I said, “I’ll bet you $100 it’s not an allison”. He said “prove it”. I said get under your truck and I’ll show you the difference between yours and mine. I showed him mine, obviously an Allison and showed him was clearly a Ford. Then I explaiNed to him his was a Ford-built transmission. Then this dope tries to tell me “Ford owns Allison”. I told him that GM owned part of Allison transmission. At that point the guy starts getting raged because I think I ruined his day.
Has a similar incident with another dope who thought the 6L Ford diesel had “twin turbos” lol
