The Allison 1000 series has been a GM exclusive version well before they sold off Allison Transmission back in '07 to a private equity group as the recession was in full swing.

I believe Allison has a no compete clause with GM as part of the spin off that GM light trucks(pickups) will be the only ones factory installed with Allison transmissions.

Every GM HD pickup installed with an Allison for almost 2 decades has been a so called Allison Branded transmission since the Baltimore plant where it's built in is a GM plant.

I'm fine with that.
