Is the Allison 4L85E a good transaxle?
Is the Allison 4L85E a good transaxle?
The 4L85Es can withstand a lot of power and are overall a good trans proven through many years. If I remember correctly about torque managment. TM has little to do with pulling power, mostly for the transmission shifting and smoothness.
What kind of pulling power does an Allison 8.1L have?
TM has little to do with pulling power, mostly for the transmission shifting and smoothness. In defense of the 8.1L, it is a decent long life engine that gave reasonable pulling power for Suburbans and pickups in the gasser class. Mine had the famous CSK and oil consumption even though it was pampered from the beginning.
What’s the mileage on an Allison 8.1 diesel?
If it run the motor at a lower RPM than the 4L80 does in 4th gear then its even farther out of the TQ curve. Mine runs about 2200 RPM at 75 MPH. When it kicks down a gear and jumps to 3000 RPM it pulls like a pig. If the ally would put it down at 1800 RPM it would shift even more and likely get worse mileage.
