Close, it's made by Castrol for Allison.

Once you do it, you're good for 100,000 miles or so without worrying about it.

I'd sell it to you, but the shipping would probably negate anything I could save you on it.

Nice truck, but I prefer to have my Gun stroked.
Hey Bill....I was wondering how that chip was doing for ya. Hadn't heard from ya in awhile. Do you have any tires left on it? Those things are probably the best bang for the buck on the market right now.

Couldn't remember...I knew I should have verified...seven 12 hour night shifts in eight days left me with that brain cramp.

Transynd was developed specifically for the Allison 1000/2000 transmissions in a joint venture w/Castrol,around 45 $ a gallon at most allison dealers,well worth it!!!
14.97 w/just hypertech,I would have never thought i own a diesel 4dr/4wd that could break into the 14's without putting a wrench to it!!!

Medical field. I hit it hard in the winter, and only work 20 or so shifts total in June, July, and August.

I just took mine on a trip pulling the 33 Outlaw this weekend through the hills of Kentucky and Tennesee. We got 12 mpg which I thought was not too bad.

We had bought a 2004 GMC crew cab dually from Chuck Winegardner. At the time we also kept the '97 F350 crew cab. We recently sold the GMC and last night traded in the '97 F350 on an '04 F350 crew cab dually that we saw at his Chevy dealership. Looked at it this past weekend and it had "Jay's Marine" on the back. Bill picked it up last night in the snow. Hope to get pictures this weekend.

Congrats on your new truck Craig.
