Posted September 14, 2011

Hi all,

I have a 1994 parts truck with the full gauge package with tack etc... I want to put it into my 89. Since I have the DRAC as well, would it be possible/easier to put the whole DRAC into the 89 or do the standard wire splicing etc that is needed without the DRAC that other topics have described.

Thanks for any advice,

  Wonder what happened to the "MEGA"max 8.3 rumors. I haven't had any rust issues, but the wax sure is ugly. Good to hear, considering the joint venture with International ended.

  I still use kerosene and a brush for clean up since it's easily available to me. Then pressure wash if possible. Seems like on the really thick goo, brake clean doesn't work so well, at least for me. have also used simple green or similar on light coatings of oil/dirt. Again brushing it and agitating

  I agree and why it seemed to make logical sense to swap it out before it did have a failure mode. I have no idea what the typical mileage was reached on the Allison 6 speed and variants from the beginning of the Duramax engine series but they were not putting through as much power either other than maybe the 2017 to 2019 models relative to the 2020 model trucks with the 10 speed. I am guessing there were some changes/upgrades over the years with that transmission as the engine in front of it certainly changed in output. I see some reviews of the Ram with the new 8 speed and comments about how great this transmission will be relative to the Ford and GM, but only time will really reveal how it all plays out as use and abuse always eventually show how good something is or what weakness it may have.
