Just for the record, Rob is the luckiest man alive, but he doesn't abuse his powers for monetary gain. I've been trying to get him to go to Vegas and win me some $$$, but he won't do it. :D

Really? Perhaps someone could explain why the #1 problem with the Dodges is Trans Failure for losing races. ProStreet Dodges have a better than 50% attrition rate per event.

Yes, on the InterWebbyThingy, there is never a problem with a Dodge, but when you actually attend these events and watch, Dodge's greatest enemy is their trans.

Like at the finals in Texas, I don't believe one Dodge survived. Colorado, ditto.

This is why you never see detailed posts about Dodge attrition at these events. It gets too real for their taste, so it's hidden from the public eye. When people capture the failures on tape, it's always something "minor".

If the Spruill truck has any problems with their Dodge trans, you won't ever hear about it. It's just the Code of the Secret Squirrel.
i realize this is an old qoute,but i was searching some threads and found this thread and read it.this is complete bs,i get the impression you are implying that we are liars if that is the case i hope you know where to go...

No I was at the event and was wondering where bucks truck was, and I was told that it was at the house and they were taking the trans out to fix some internal issues

Buck and Steve showed up later in Bucks tow truck (an LBZ) and then dynoed 599 and then claimed it was all motor and steves tuning when it clearly was spraying

old post again but i want to clear things up,yes truck wasnt at track that day but no internal tranny damage a new tq con was being installed that Ron brought from suncoast in his carry on baggage.this was the first event with a dflite that steve was there an able to tune.once intial setup and dial in process was done tranny performed flawlessly until this years suncoast race were a year old input shaft broke.

as far as the dyno did you ever here the whole deal ,we were telling people steve was tuning the truck via remote wirless programing,we were consuming beer and having a good time i naturaly thought people would assume we were bsing them,i hpe the rest of the story clears it up for you.as far as nos goes if you would have asked you could have looked for it to clear it up for yourself.no nos was used..

also the main reason dodge trannys on ps trucks break is the long time it takes to spool the huge turbos that some of them run.nos dodges and cr dodges dont take as much time to spool the tranny and failer rate is greatly reduced...

Holy Old Thread Batman!! :D

If you are saying Dodge trans are bulletproof or that you've had zero problems with yours, well then you need to find out about shoe sizing.

nothing is bullet proof,i mentioned problems a few post up,broken input was first and only problem with tranny since it got dialed in.we did have some problems in the beggining but once the bugs got worked out of the elctronic side of things no problems til suncoast race.as far as shoe sizing havnt a clue what you are talking about,if its an offer to kick my ass i make several events each year i am not hard to find...

You need to figure out how the "quote" button works, or stop using it. You're quoting things I didn't write.

Anyhow, "if the shoe fits" is the expression. When there are dozens of 750+ rwhp Dodges (or Chevys) that aren't hosing Dodge transmissions on a routine basis, then perhaps I'll agree with you.

Hopefully someday I'll get a chance to run you.

i am not computer savy that is why i dont do tuning.i hit the qoute button under the post that i was responding to.not sure what happened but the thread i qouted from bf johnson made it look like you said it,dont know why.never noticed it doing before.i would lay good money there are dozens of 750 plus hp dodges that domnt hose trannys on a regular basis..

I would say a full year of passes as fast as Buck's truck is (9 second zone)without failure is pretty good. Don't know how many Dmax alli combos are going that fast without failing yet.

How is Caspers SC doin? He is what 3 thenths slower than buck?

Casper so far is doing well with no failures to date except a couple of melted converters caused by my good friend Pat. :rolleyes::D
Casper has things done to it that no other Duramax/Allison has and it works.
My goal is to have an Allison run 9's. Wish me luck.:D

Good Luck. would be real nice to see the ally live at big hp levels. Anyone who wants to see the dodge vs. allison tranny debate should come up our way, at this point it isn't even remotely close. hopefully what you've done on Nasty and Casper works. Time will tell.

Havnt people had a lot more time/years to figure out the dodge trannys? How long have allisons been at the Hp levels they are at now? A couple years? Give it time the gap is closing as we speak.

The only reason an Allison is having teething pains at high HP levels is because it's computer controlled, and very sensitive to both TCM and ECM programming. For a long time Casper has had more than 750rwhp, and has been shifting very well for the last 2-3 years.

You will notice they don't put the Dodge trans in heavy trucks, and their lifespan in motorhomes is short even at modest power levels.

Yes, there are transmissions that are better for racing than the Allison, no doubt. But there is no better trans for our diesel pickups IMO. It's the best all-around performer.

Running a Dodge trans is a bandaid. It's not as good of a street trans, it is debatable whether it's a stronger drag trans than the Allison, and it's not a real race trans either.
