Re: Birth of a Cummins Suburban

Very cool project! It looks like your engine is an older one with a VE injection pump and an after cooler. Should make for good power and great fuel economy geared right. I haven't used an allison in a conversion yet, but programming is the key from what I've heard. We have freightliners at work with 24v's and 1000 series and they suck. Mainly because the programming never gets changed by allison and they just beat them selves to death. Here is a place to go check out for a trans adapter and a transmission controller. They are pricey, but well worth the money for a quality product in the end.

Here is the link for the stand alone controller. I have heard a lot of other company's controllers losing the tow/haul mode. With this one you will still retain it.
