Like everything I had to make some compromises, but overall I'm happy with the way it turned out. I hot rodded the Cummins so it moves the truck along pretty well, though a newer engine would have provided more power. I had enough trouble with matching the Allison 1000 (OD) with the Cummins and didn't want to tackle a computer controlled engine. Believe it or not I would have had to use the instrument cluster out of the donor truck among countless other parts. Besides there is no way I would put a Dodge tranny in my Chevy! With this combo it has no trouble pulling my boat and I can climb a 6% grade at 75 if I'm empty. The best part is 17mpg, especially with a heavy truck with 35's on it. I've yet to weigh it.
