IMHO, if you had a Chevy body, the Cummins Diesel, and the Allison Tranny Sitting on
the Ford frame, that would be the best for pulling. That basically sums it up what
I think of each company.
The Cummins has something on the Duramax and Powerstroke. It is an Inline 6 design
which is better for pulling. This is why you dont find too many V-8 diesels in semis, industrial
equipment, and even farm tractors.
The Allison automatic is just awesome!! Allison defines the automatic transmission.
My 2 cents
