Let us know what is causing that chain slapping noise when you rev it up in gear (only noticed it on PTO trucks) kinda sounds like a drum slapping the case or maybe a chain of some sort?

where did that info come from? are there short bed trucks out there with PTO's?? long beds and duallys have not been made yet. I never saw an option for putting a PTO on the truck when ordering either for a 2500hd, only for a high idle option.

The PTO just might fit because it looks pretty tucked in. It would be pretty tight next to the exhaust.

For the guys that don't do Facebook. Here's some pics of what has been found in the 10L1000.

Input shaft/main shaft all 1 piece.



Compared to an 01-19 input shaft



"They're" saying the converter resembles a Ford unit.









One of the planetaries compared to an 01-19 planetary. Gigantic much.

I seem to remember a few of us in another thread talking about it being a Ferd trans and getting some hate for it :rofl: maybe it’ll hold. I’m sure mike has had his fingers all in one by now and then some :D

GM couldn't make up their mind if they were going to use the 9 speed Alli or something else. The 9 speed is shelved over at Allison and don't know what they are going to use it for. I think GM and Ford decided on the 10 speed that they built together and just made it twice as big. Ford took the lead on this development and my buddy at Allison changed the valve body to his specs.
So far it looks like TCM tuning is going to play a big part for this trans. A new pump and valvebody might be a big part of every build. Too soon to tell. I just ordered a stand for mounting this monster.

Good info Mike. It seems like GM has a pretty hard time getting their TCM tuning right since 2010 ish. I remember lots of complaints, especially in HD gas trucks, that shifts felt funny. Buddy of mine got one and called me worried his trans was going out. Turned out after some research to be horrible trans tuning.

As far as the new “Allison”, seems to me it’s a bastard trans haha parts designed here parts tweaked there... I guess only time will tell how it all came together. Looking forward to seeing what you find in the beast. I know next to nothing about how autos work, so every little bit is intriguing to me:thumb:

Just because it is a ford doesn't mean it is bad... what do you think mike? Allison wouldn't have signed off on it if it was crap i hope.....
