I'd rather have the Ford itself.
Although the Cummins does rock.
However, in recent years the Allison transmissions have been having some issues about going into "Limp Mode". I have a buddy that has "limped" home 12 times...talk about getting tired of his new Chevy.
He took it back to the dealer every time who told him that it's a common thing with the Allison's. The transmission is only built to withstand a certain amount of horsepower, once it goes over that, the tranny on has to slip once and it will go into "limp mode". That means riding at "super low speeds."
