to make an allison shift nicely enough for daily driving a light duty pickup truck WITHOUT shift energy managment? If you wanted to put an allison 1000 behind a 12valve mechanical cummins you could use a TCM thats calibrated to work ONLY off TPS (and input/output/turbine speed), but it would have no SEM or data communication with the ECM, so I cant see how its possible to have it working "nicely" like the allison's do behind the duramax's. Plus with a modded cummins and big power, wouldnt even a built allison be destroyed without SEM? I would think so... Run a PPE ET eliminator for a while and see how much your trans will hate life :D

so if all that is possible why did everyone (PCS and ATS) give up on a standalone TCM? Just use an allison TCM thats calibrated to work only off of throttle position.....

Nothing. They just want to say they have an alli behind their Cummins.

he did, in a 24valve cummins I dont know how he has the TCM operating tho, whether its interfaced with data to use SEM or it uses no SEM (and probably shifts like garbage)
