Default What truck has the best tranny?

Just wondering what everybody thinks which truck has the best transmission? I don't do too much of heavy pulling, just my 2 quads mostly and every once in and awhile my 18 foot boat.

I am looking @ a tranny that will last and not have the converter just fall apart and end up having to spend a couple thousand dollars again. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Ford 5speed torque shift auto tranny is awesome, even better when you put it in tow haul mode.

2003 ford f-350 lariat
powerstroke
10 inch lift
38 inch parnelli jones dirt grips
direct injection propane
intake
custom 6 inch straight pipe exhaust
125+ hp chip
injectors
transmission module
more to come.........

DODGE, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Oh man I kill myself. Ha, ha ha!!

The E4OD ford was a good transmission, the converter was the only problem. The new torq shift is supposed to be great. I haven't heard of any problems from them yet.

The allison has had problems from local guys.

Yep the allison is a purpose built medium duty tranny and using them in light duty trucks is overkill. But I would say thats better than a beefed up automotive tranny.
