Sled pulled with it any? How rough do you run it? Did you put it in yourself or have someone do it?

The PPE kit will take all you can put at it with in the limits of the kit ratings. We have several customers running the PPE kits with great success.

Yes it is and if you have a problem you can call PPE for assitance.

So you only sell it and walk away from any responsability as far as tech support?
Why don't you tell us all why it will hold all the power they claim? If you sell a product you need to know exactly what it does and give total support to your customer.
I know.:D

Mike I do give total support to my customers. However that being said unlike you I do not know the Allison transmission inside and out, every knook and cranny. I am learning and I have others that know it better than me to draw on if I need to none of which know it as good as you so nobody in my corner or 90% of the vendors will be able to answer as many questions off the top of our heads like you. None of us have 25 or more years in the Allison l;ike you none of us have built transmissions for land speed records. You are the pinnicle of the Allison transmission and nobody can argue with that I certainly wont.

Yes I am a salesman of the parts and no I am not a transmission guru like you but I do have the means to give total support. I have never claimed to know as much as you about the Allison transmission and never will you are the god. I am a man who give honest service and care about my customers more than the dollar I make from them. I am hiding nothing and you are exposing nothing.

Now how about I bring my truck to you for my trans build....or maybe you don't like me so much that you won't touch my truck?

No worries Mike I admit your the guru and I am the salesman.

Did you put it in yourself or have someone do it?I've never done any sled pulling but my truck has had around 500 HP tune since the trans was installed. My trans was built by PPE and I had a friend install it. I have ran it pretty hard over the past 4 years with no problems, lots of 1/4 mile runs on the street and probably 50-75 runs at the track.

Sounds good. I might look at buying that and having someone build it for me because I know nothing about the transmission at all. Cheaper than the Gmax kit and sounds like it holds up well if the right person builds it. Are you using the TC that comes in the kit or a different one?

I guess I could've looked at your sig to determine that ha silly me, but I'm going to probly try the 1056 TC. That's what I've been recommended for my uses anyway.
