Myerstown, PA – Weavertown Diesel has established itself as a trusted provider of high-quality Duramax Allison transmissions and related upgrades. The company specializes in rebuilding, testing, and upgrading transmissions to deliver durable, high-performing solutions for Duramax engines. Each transmission is carefully inspected, rebuilt, and tested to handle heavy-duty applications while maintaining smooth, reliable operation.
Understanding Allison Transmissions
Allison transmissions have long been the factory automatic transmission paired with many Duramax-powered GM heavy-duty trucks, and when properly built or maintained, they can deliver consistent performance under heavy loads. Because of their robustness and design for diesel torque, they have traditionally been a preferred choice for Duramax owners who tow or haul.
Benefits for Duramax Engines
Allison transmissions provide smooth and consistent gear changes. They handle the high horsepower of Duramax engines effectively, reducing strain on the drivetrain. Their durable construction allows the transmission to perform reliably over extended periods, supporting heavy towing and performance driving.
Design and Engineering Highlights
Allison transmissions, in stock form or with minor upgrades, include gears, clutches, and torque converters built to manage the torque and load of a factory-spec Duramax engine. When engine output is increased through tuning, larger turbos, or other modifications, the standard components can be overworked.
For heavy-duty use beyond factory specifications, reinforced internals such as billet shafts, stronger clutches, or upgraded torque converters are recommended to maintain durability and performance.
Key Features to Evaluate Before Purchase
Selecting the right Duramax transmission involves examining several key aspects that influence performance, reliability, and day-to-day use.
Build Quality
Duramax transmissions use trusted components from brands like Raybestos, Altos, and Borg Warner. Each unit undergoes professional inspection and cleaning during the rebuild process, replacing worn or damaged parts for smooth and consistent operation.
Power and Performance Ratings
Transmissions rated for 750HP handle heavy-duty workloads. Well-engineered pistons, springs, and valves deliver consistent gear changes and reduce strain on the drivetrain, even under demanding conditions.
Electronics and Control Features
Electronic systems such as solenoids, wiring harnesses, and pressure manifold switches improve performance. Additional upgrades to these electronics enhance responsiveness, reliability, and overall transmission operation under various driving conditions.
Maintenance and Daily Use Considerations
Proper care and attention to daily use extend transmission life and maintain reliable performance.
Compatibility and Installation
Duramax transmissions are designed to fit specific models from 2001–2019. Using the correct transmission avoids installation issues, and planning for core returns helps the process run smoothly.
Longevity and Service Life
Routine maintenance, including fluid checks and filter replacements, supports long-term performance. In-house rebuilt transmissions offer advantages over prebuilt kits, as each part is inspected and upgraded as needed, reducing the risk of failure.
Upgrades and Performance Enhancements
Allison transmission upgrades can improve shift quality, power handling, and overall driving experience.
