First impressions with new truck
Well took the new truck to edmonton on friday (took a customer to a hockey game)
I left with 70kms on the clock, filled up to the brim Friday morning,, kept it at 120km all the way. Drove around in the city, to Mopac, to the hotel, to the mall, back to the hotel, to another hotel to pick up the customer, then to northlands, then to a bar, then to the hotel, and so on,,, you get the picture... filled up today, just before we left to go home,, hand calculated,, 16.1 MPG,,, I am not unhappy with that at all... truck just hit over 1000 km on the way home.. AND, you can believe this or not, and I invite you to come for a ride,, but this truck is a 1 ton, and rides as nice, if not actually nicer than the chevy....... just wish it wasnt so darn expensive

Yeah I am pretty happy right now anyways... Joe, dont worry I dish it out as good as I can take it,, LOL.
Mike, to be honest I think that the 5r 110 is a better tranny than the allison. The allison will start crapping the bed at around 450ish hp, most of the guys are getting 600 + out of the 5r110.
