| I'm sure that driving habits have a lot to do w/ how long your stock trans will last. The Allison trans is fantastic when kept to it's original specs, but if you're adding power and aren't afraid to use it, then it's not gonna last. I run a PPE on level 2 and sometimes 3. I have a little fun at lights and such and tow an enclosed trailer w/ my stock car in it (about 8,000 lbs) up the mountains here in AZ (on level 1 only when towing) and have never had any problems at all. I've been running this setup for 3-4 mos and everything seems just fine, but most of my driving is "normal" light-footed stuff. It's only once in a while that I feel the need for putting it to the floor. Many go by the moto, "you have to pay to play" and I couldn't agree more.
