How much of a difference(I know Allison is totally different in setup) is upgrading an Allison than a 48re on Dodge? My friend, His grandpa and I upgraded my neighbor's last year. His Grandpa was a mechanic and is big Mopar person. He has never done an Allison before but is it much different to change up? Do you need special Allison tools?

Do you need any special tools, He has all transmission holding stuff like jack and stand and such. Or should I just come up to you when the the time comes? You say you can do it in 6 hours.

There are some spring compressors that will make the job much much easier.

You are welcome to come up if he does not want to tackle it
