With a new Allison i think it should be set to go for a good while. It’ll have the 11.5” rear end which is plenty strong. As far as the engine goes the one major issue some have had is piston failure. It’s not a widespread problem but it is there. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate on that truck. It’s only about 1.5 hours from me... better hurry and get it  jk I don’t need any more trucks. |
Duh, I just got to thinking there might be an 8.1 for sale here locally because the guy who owned it died. I'm trying to track down his widow and see if she might want to sell it, without upsetting her...
