390/700 are the factory number correct. Hopefully they have done a little something with the ally to handle the extra ponies from the factory. Considering we've seen failure with stock tune and heavy towing.
It has 2 EGR logs, piezo injectors, and single AVNT turbo.
Need P/N's. Are the pistons and rods stronger? Hmmm...

I like the new chevy front bumper - would be interested in seeing it color matched on a higher trim package. ok - back OT.
the pistons will be redesigned.
I dont know about the rods though
Hopefully redesigned better this time LOL
To bad the 8 speed alli got pushed back
thers a article in the newest Diesel Power mag about Allison teeming up with some one to make a non conventional auto. trans has no torque converter and no gears i forget what they call it uses hydroloc pistons to change the drive ratio can keep the motor in its power band at any speed
some one whos read the article recently could give more details
thinking out side the box for sure there
dont recall it that's whats going behind the 2010 motor.

I heard something about that as well, but I've heard that it is, and isn't going to be behind the LML. I doubt it personally. It's simlar to a CVT in a tractor from what I've heard. I haven't read the DPmag article, but I have a hard time believing that something like that will hold up for 200k+ towing 15k+ regularly.
no... you are confusing a CVT with a hydrostatic transmission. they arent the same thing.
Hydrostatic transmissions are whats in tractors. CVT's are whats in golf carts and snow mobiles...And yes, HYDROSTATIC tranny's are incredibly durable, long lasting, and will take a lot of abuse. In any tractor I would take a hydrostatic trans over a manual trans ANY day, especialyl doing FEL work. With regular fluid and filter changes, a hydrostatic tractor tranny will far outlast a traditional clutch/manual tractor trans. When I used to work at a tractor dealer we had more than a handful come in with junk gearbox's, belts, clutches, etc. Only saw one bad hydrostatic transmission, and that was because the fan broke off and it overheated and wrecked the seals in the charge pump.
I love them, and if you take one apart they arent as complicated as they seem. Infinintely variable speeds, constant torque at all speeds and at 0rpm (like a PM electric motor), hardly any wear-parts, easy to cool efficently, and constantly lubricated by high pressure.
And of course one of the main side benefits of a hydrostatic tranny is you can tap into the charge pump's external releif control-pressure port, and run hydraulic cylinders, PTO stuff, etc...

The newly designed allison is a mechanical infinately^2 power variable transmission. Where as golf carts atv's snowmobiles are only infinate^1st power. An ATV etc won't idle back at to 1000 rpms at 45 mph. This mechanical IVT will make the vehicle do 1000 rpms at 80mph. :coolspot:
