Can you put an Allison Transmission in a gas truck?
Allison Automatics are perfectly suited to natural gas engines, both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), in a wide range of applications. Superior work trucks accomplish more with the increased efficiency and performance provided by Allison fully automatic transmissions.
What is so special about Allison Transmission?
Unlike manual and automated manual transmissions (AMTs), Allison Automatics have no power interrupts during shift changes. They make the best use of the engine’s horsepower and torque by delivering more of it to the wheels. This not only saves time and money, it also provides maximum protection for the transmission.

What’s the mileage on an Allison 8.1 diesel?
If it run the motor at a lower RPM than the 4L80 does in 4th gear then its even farther out of the TQ curve. Mine runs about 2200 RPM at 75 MPH. When it kicks down a gear and jumps to 3000 RPM it pulls like a pig. If the ally would put it down at 1800 RPM it would shift even more and likely get worse mileage.
What kind of pulling power does an Allison 8.1L have?
TM has little to do with pulling power, mostly for the transmission shifting and smoothness. In defense of the 8.1L, it is a decent long life engine that gave reasonable pulling power for Suburbans and pickups in the gasser class. Mine had the famous CSK and oil consumption even though it was pampered from the beginning.
