Just when you think it can't get any more smarter....it does....I wonder what else it will be doing in the upcoming years...

Since my 01 will be paid off in August. I may see an 06 in my future with, yes, an Allison transmission. Just being able to select the gear range makes me want to get one.

Here is the million dollar question. will the added gear be a steeper overdrive, or just another reduction gear for pulling with the same OD ratio we have now, but in 6th gear vs our current 5th gear. I want a steeper overdrive ratio for fuel economy when not towing !!!!!

Extra O/D as I understand.

Here's the Billion dollar question(s). Is this still the 1000? Anyone think it's possible to upgrade what we currently have to the six speed thru either programming or computer change? Psychotic minds want to know. ):h

Hi,
This is my first post so good to meet everyone!
In response to this topic, my dealer told me the six speed Allison would not come out until 2007 model year (August 2006).

Dealers are the last to know.

Hello everyone,

I'm also new to this forum. I don't own a Duramax yet but I plan on purchasing A GMC 2500HD next year, preferably an 06 model. Hopefully the 6 speed tranny will be out by then and my classic car will be sold.

Can anyone tell me what their likes and dislikes are about the truck? I would like honest answers.

Thank you,

Pete.:)

This dealer is out of the loop for sure. I know for a fact that it will be in the 06 trucks.

michael,
one of those forward shifts you may feel/see is probably the torque converter going into lockup.
