Suncoast no longer does it. The only reason I was considering this swap was I could get the Allison for bout $900. If it'll cost the same or more, I too would rather have mine built. As always, you guys have been very helpful.

I have a second gen truck with an allison sitting on the garage floor ready to go in. I'm using a built allison, triple disc converter, with Howards adapters, and the de-stroked controller. This install is also going to use a 3rd gen transfer case.
I lost three transmissions in my truck and all of them were built for towing. There are problems with the dodges and at some point they will break. I read of people constantly starting threads where they are having trans problems. If you look at the size difference between these transmission its amazing. They are massive by comparison.

If I were racing I would stick with the dodge because every time the transmission shifts you slow down, the ally has more gears so more shifts= slower.
Since I'm towing more gears=better towing performance.

I am going to document the install of this and post. The install is starting in two weeks.

slowflyer,

Now we're getting somewhere! Good man. I'll be watching this carefully so please stay in touch and tell us what equipment you end up with.

PS. Maybe I could pop down there and give you a hand?
