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.  |
But wasn't the 1000 series actually designed by Allison though? This new 10 speed is supposedly a 100% a GM transmission with the Allison name on it. I think that is what the articles I am seeing pop are stating
