I don't know if you've drove one, but you gotta try out the new Allison it's awesome!! They shift unbelievably smooth and the grade braking is a long overdue idea. It's a feature thats gonna save me alot of brake pads here in western N.Y. Suburbansrule

Hunter98 I have a crew cab, shortbox, 2wd. The highway speeds were between 65mph and 75mph. I have had it up to 85, but didn't pay attention to the rpms sorry. I was supprised that I was going that fast, I was trying to get back down to the speed limit. Richard Mc

Duramax or 8.1 and Allison. Keep checking with different dealers - You can order, just have to be a little patient for delivery and don't give in to that 'LIST PRICE' BS. 75v

The 6.0 don't put out enough power to need a heavy duty trans.
#49 of 1057 8.1 2500 HD by woolyback2 Dec 01, 2000 (1:24 am)
Thanks Chris for the information. Does anyone know if the split bench seat on the 8.1 can be individually adjusted by the passengers and driver. Always had bucket seats before so it was never an issue. Also is it possible to get the bench seats with dual power. Ordered my truck today and got it at 3% over invoice. Ordered the 8.1. 2500 HD. SB ExC, 3.73 ratio, SLE. Probably won't get it until Feb. Sometime in between then and now I will have to try to sell my 2000. 5.3L 1500 Sierra

The New style GM seats the 40 sections are totally independent, fore-aft and tilt, the center section is fixed. Hope this helps Hunter
