The main thing is that the G56 is on hold due to "material restriction"



Guess they didn't buy enough of them!

Not meaning to hijack here, but...



How did your dyno day go???

Nobody wants the 6 speed anyway. Just ask Ford or Chevy or look on a Dodge dealer's lot.

Thats wants wierd, Because of the open exhaust, It DOES sound like I back out early... But I assure you I was up to 3300 rom before I chickened out

Lets see, 1700+* - Glad its for only a second or two

Yup, exactly why no one notices the Duramax is still its original 300/520 rating when ordered with the ZF. GM claimed last year that over 80% of all D-max trucks had the Allison, Ford claimed nearly as many (on a percentage basis) 'Strokes had the TorqShift.



I don't think it's so much fear of the G56, but buyers are simply glad that the high-output Cummins (305/555, 325/600-610) was finally offered with an automatic to compete with Ford and GM, and are quite happy letting the PCM do the shifting. Adding a true Tow/Haul to the 48RE for 2005 has really sealed the deal.
