Allison 10L vs Ford 10R

The battle of the 10 speeds. We dig in to the Ford 10R transmission and compare it to the Allison 10L - although they were designed in conjunction between Ford and GM, there are considerable differences.
What transmission do we think will be the strongest? Allison or Ford.

I'm a GM guy, but that looks like GM quietly saying they are not going to increase the output of the Duramax drastically anytime soon. I understand the Ford being built heavier because they advertise much higher horsepower and torque ratings than GM does. Sounds like GM designed that transmission around the limitations of the Duramax

[@tcmtech7515]

I think they finally accepted that they don't need to overbuild for more power given how all their diesels spend the majority of their lives in their underpowered detuned mode due to some emissions compliance BS being out of spec. Why build for 500 Hp and 700 Ft/Lbs of torque when you know damn well the things going live their lives self-detuned to less than half that.

[@tpss3834]

They built it to be worked on. Ford built it to last the lifetime of the truck.. listen to the last sentence of the video. Said its going to be "another 68 we need to get readyfor that workload" chevy builds them to break.. when they break ppl just buy another chevy like the next ones going to be different..

Our national region had like 6 or 7 service points in it and they condensed it down to one, which pushed service and repair turnaround time from a few days on average to a few weeks. The actual explanation was that the execs thought that if they stopped servicing/made it really difficult with the older equipment, that would push the customers to buy new stuff whenever things broke down.

Well that was a surprise. I expected a pretty even lineup with extremely similar transmissions and similar weak spots. And although the basic designs are similar, what I did not expect was to see the Ford 10R to be better and beefier in every way. When the Allison came out in 2001 the name meant something and was responsible for a lot of GM truck sales. As time goes on the name Allison hardly means anything any more.

A gear might look "beefy," but it might not be as strong, depending on the makeup of the metals used.

Fords have just as many if not more problems. Ford still uses the CP4 fuel pump that has a 9% failure rate. Plus Ford transmissions have their own set of problems that aren't addressed here. I have a Duramax for towing but I'm a Toyota guy at heart. Just bought the duramax because it seemed like the best out of the big 3. Seems like the Ford and chevy have about the same rate of failure on trannys but chevy has a far superior fuel system and less Def/dpf problems. Ford has a better frame and axles but not enough to compensate for the fuel system. I had a 2015 f350 powerstroke that I sold at 235,000 miles and now have a 2020 duramax with 80,000 miles. Both trucks have treated me great.

Just curious as to whether or not to buy a spare one to build up for my 2019 1500 Sierra or not. Edit: I do tow, maybe 7k lb trailer, and so far at 92k miles, it doesn’t have any issues. But if I can get ahead of it, and build a stronger one to swap in, then sell the stock one for a recoup of some expense, I may do that.

[@dieselmutt8865]

He says in the video the F clutches on the Ford have a lot more friction material but do they? You can clearly see that the clutch rings are a way bigger diameter on the GM so even though the width of the material may be thinner, there is more material because of the bigger diameter. Also, the bigger diameter the less engagement speed the friction material has to absorb. The only ther thing is as a shop you do not know how these two transmissions were used (or abused) so some unfounded assumptions might be happening here.

[@Davido50]

Either way they are entirely different transmissions. The Ford 10R appears beefier & more robustly built. I've owned Ford & Chevy trucks. Both served me well.

Data shows Ford trucks /vans purchased 3>1 vs other brands by companies/rental /fleet buyers etc.

[@jimm2442]

Doing extensive research on both of these transmissions I find a lot more complaints on the 10R over the 10L. Many issues with the 10R involve its use in the HD Gasser 7.3 "Godzilla" engine. Are the 10L failures you see in stock (unmodified) trucks? The 10R and 10L were not collaborative project between GM and Ford. They did collaborate on the 1/2 ton light duty 10 speeds.

[@dustintilton7920]

That's what I'm finding to, I found 3 people complain their trans went out after digging through different duramax forums, which the causes were a faulty part from manufacture from the get go which made theirs go out around 1k miles, but yet ford's 10r a bunch of different forum pages come up with tons of people complaining how theirs have gone out after 5k miles and up. But yes exactly what's the mileage on these 10 speed Allison's going out? We're they behind stock or modified duramax's, ect.

Ford trucks tend to be more common in fleet duty, where the same truck will see 30 different drivers in 5 years, they get beat to snot and stressed about 5 miles beyond their limits and the guys running them ignore the problems and flashing maintenance lights until the problem actively stops them from doing their job, and then they complain that their engine shouldn't need regular oil changes to run when they just ran through 4 oil change intervals without touching the drain plug or the filter.

You're comparing a super duty ford trans to a 1/2 ton GM trans? The 10L1000 Allison approved trans is way different from this one. Please compare apples to apples.

[@wilsterone6689]

Its funny how this guy points out all the things he thinks is better in the ford vs chevy yet he is tearing the ford trans down due to failure. 😂

[@timkis64]

there is no way in hell an engine with more than a 2k rpm limit engine needs 10 gears.i can understand a big 80k lb. semi. but a pickup with 10 speeds is just a vehicle with more things to go WRONG!!! & THEY WILL.

[@cecilhoak7909]

It's a Chevy design it but ford refuse it

[@fordmech7913]

Classic gm quality 😂😂

[@Wagonman5900]

Doesn't scare me, my truck will be gas.

[@stevenberta940]

That is why I would not buy a chevy or even a Ram.

Smart people do things. Other people go ahead and do things.

[@jimmillet1442]

Not surprised at all by this..Ford for the most part has always built things stronger and beefier.I remember being in a parts store in the 80s and a guy came in to buy a flex plate for a turbo 350 chevy and it cost 25 bucks.The guy said that's pretty cheap and the parts guy said they are made out of tin or something like that and said had he been getting one for a ford he would be looking at close to 100 bucks because they were steel.Lesson learned.Just something as simple as a flex plate being made stronger says alot.

[@wilsterone6689]

Ya it says GM made millions and Ford made thousands. Simple economics and says nothing about the quality.

[@chevyboyforlife4234]

We can tell your a ford guy but I've seen way less chevy 10speeds go bad...probably half that I do is ford the other half is split with dodge and chevy

[@mikecarr1484]

Like precision transmission is Texas . But not as skilled. 😂

[@gordonsillars]

Hahahaha!! I can’t believe this guy has a transmission shop!! Ford and GM codeveloped the 10 speed transmissions in the 1/2 ton trucks. The 10L1000 in the heavy duty trucks was designed by Allison has no relation to the Ford transmission. Pretty laughable that they don’t know that.

[@MrStaybrown]

It was designed by GM with oversight by Allison. Allison will not work on this 10 speed because it is not a Allison 1000.

[@gordonsillars]

@MrStaybrown The 10L1000 is an Allison designed transmission. GM struck a deal with Allison where GM will produce the 10L1000 for the 2500 trucks in house and Allison will produce the exact same transmission for the 4500/5500/6500 trucks in their facilities.

[@guamazolopez6456]

from all the complaints about the 10r i’m hearing i think your being very biased in your review

[@chrism3994]

looks like a ford commercial

[@David-yy7lb]

Allison 1000 6 speed rules the roost

[@MrStaybrown]

The only true Allison's are the Allison 1000's. 5 and 6 speed.

[@David-yy7lb]

@@MrStaybrown Yes you are correct I forgot about the 5 speed🤦🏿‍♂️

[@MrStaybrown]

@@David-yy7lb the modern GM 10 speed only identifies as an Allison. 🤣

[@georgeandrews1271]

I have 2019 with the 10 speed and this the biggest piece of crap Ford made.

[@brandon18054]

Great video man, but in my honest opinion, if you require a crane to lift a medium-sized object that’s just over a hundred pounds as opposed to picking it up yourself, maybe you could benefit from lifting some weights on your off time. I’m all for ‘working smarter not harder,’ but a man should be able to lift his own body weight without help, and I’m guessing you weigh more than a hundred pounds.

[@coltonyoung5681]

Great info!
