Allison 6 Speed Auto
97,000 miles

Dude, that thing rocks. Will it pull my 20ft car hauler?

Nice rig! Much improved over the 550 I am sure.

Cool!

Take a look at the motor and make sure it has the steel HPOP (high pressure oil pump, runs the injectors like on a PowerStroke) line instead of the rubber hose. The HPOP is on the driver's side of the timing case about halfway down, if it has a rubber hose get the steel line retrofit kit from Cat. When that rubber hose blows it makes a hell of a mess and you are stranded until it's fixed.

The 3126 seems to be a pretty solid motor but I am not a big fan of the HEUI injection setup. We run several of them at work and when they are acting up it is usually injector related.

Thanks guys, yah its much better than the 550 since it has air ride seats, cab, and rear suspension. so it feels like your ridin in a cadillac loaded or unloaded.
