You’ll be happy to know that’s actually the same GM/Ford 10 speed with the Allison name thrown on it by the marketing dept.

The ten speed Allison in a 3/4 ton gmc is the same as the ten speed in an f150 or 1500? I understand it’s not an Allison designed transmission but I don’t think this is the case.

From what I understand, GM designed the transmission and the design was tested, accepted, and branded by Allison. Regardless of what’s on it, I don’t know anyone personally who has had problems with the Allison ten speed that they released in 2020. With the ford/GM 1/2 ton ten speed, I know plenty.

I don’t know enough about this stuff to die on a hill over any idea I have. So if someone knows more about it, please share. The 6l90 they use now is a tank, so I could be convinced to go get a ‘23 before they swap.

I have a ‘22 Tundra Platinum with the rear airbags.
A month or so ago, my son’s Sequoia had the alternator go out. My FIL had someone that could replace it so I got a 20+ ft car trailer and loaded it up and towed it 2hrs to his place. Pulled it with the Tundra.
Had no issues pulling it at all and got 13.4mpg pulling it.

I was very impressed with that gas mileage.

I was a GM only guy since I could drive. My 16 Sierra has $11k in fixes with a little over 100k miles. The biggest thing is how GM completely fricked over customers on handling these. The torque converters, temp control for the transmission fluid and the lifters are all documented admitted failures by GM. They have TSBs for all three and redesigned the needed parts. Pound sand on getting any cost break though. I hope they get their arse handed to them in the class actions. The bow tie can burn in hell.
