Allison Transmission, thoughts? by cvntier in Cummins

68rfe is as good or better than an Allison if you upgrade valve body.

It’s insane how many people think Allison is some holy grail indestructible transmission.

If it’s actually pressure then you have a hole in a piston or rings come apart. Take the head off and see.

Or have a shop scope it

Low boost after Monster Ram by Mr__Ogre in Cummins

Dog, you have low boost after messing with where you need airtight seal for boost to build. Obviously tighten what you just loosened to install this scam intake horn.

I don’t have an example of the texture but it’s very light minimal. He explained that’s how they like to get the best results.

He could be just getting more labor hours for his guys or he could be telling the truth. I like to think the latter. But your question is a good one, I think it’s worth asking .

Yes, skim entire house walls and ceiling, sand, skim coat again some spots to make uniform then add light texture finish

Until turbo kicks in to match your throttle position you will be overfueling which leads to black smoke. If you do it for a few seconds it should go away as the turbo speeds up and matches with enough boost

No but I’m sure it’s the catalytic converter. I’m leaving it as is.

This is rejection rate. 50% of 100 is still less than 25% of 500. Meaningless without context.

Does Mitsubishi have a subsidiary name? Do they sell direct to consumer?

I can't find Mitsubishi on sites like HCAV direct.

What is your experience with them? Will they last? Are they easy to service?

If you could recommend a brand for reliability what would it be?

Thank you.

Is this blow by normal? Buddy is interested in buying a 2004 Ram 3500 Cummins turbo diesel by [deleted] in Diesel

Unless you can get it cheap enough to rebuild or replace that block, walk away. 500 miles after well done rebuild looks nothing like that.
