Allison Customer-Core Transmission Rebuilds

Big 3 accepts Allison transmission rebuild inquiries using the customer’s original unit. Send the full model and serial identification to scope a Duramax truck or another supported application.

Review rebuild requirements & installation

Identified Allison truck and equipment applications

Build the quote around the truck and the work.

Tell us what failed, what the vehicle does every day and what the diagnosis found. A transmission quote should cover the assembly and the supporting work needed to put the vehicle back in service.

Your original transmission is required.

Big 3 offers this family as a customer-core rebuild. Confirm acceptance, inspection arrangements and the written scope before shipping or drop-off. Price and turnaround depend on inspection, parts and the agreed work. A rebuildable unit and an approved job are required; an exchange deposit is not a substitute for supplying your transmission.

Quote my Allison rebuild

What to send for a useful quote

  • Full transmission model, serial number and clear identification-tag photo.
  • Vehicle VIN or equipment identification; engine and application.
  • Drivetrain, controls and PTO configuration if equipped.
  • Symptoms, diagnostic findings, duty cycle and original-unit transport arrangements.

Compare the complete repair

Ask for assembly or rebuild cost, supplied components, installation, programming, supporting repairs and transport to be itemized. Do not assume a converter, cooler service, controls or tuning are included unless the quote says so.

Confirm product-specific warranty and the schedule before payment. Arrange delivery of your original unit after the job is accepted.

Questions before scheduling

Does the Allison name identify the transmission I need?

No. Supply the full transmission model and serial identification. Different families, generations, controls and applications need different scopes. Big 3 confirms whether your exact unit is accepted before you send it; this page is not an exchange-inventory listing.

Can Big 3 quote installation or a work-truck repair?

Yes. Ask about installation at our East Texas shop and include the diagnosis, vehicle configuration and work requirements. Installation, supporting repairs and vehicle transport are separate unless included in the written quote. Visits and vehicle arrival must be scheduled.

What if the truck is modified or used for heavy towing?

Disclose tuning, engine changes, towing use and operating conditions before the quote. Do not assume a stock assembly or rebuild carries an increased torque rating or covers a modified application. Agree on the intended use and written warranty for the exact build.

Identify the transmission before choosing a product

Model name, trim and engine displacement are starting details. They do not establish transmission interchange. Send the VIN, model year, engine code, 2WD/4WD configuration and a photo of the original transmission identification label.

These guides cover selected families. If your transmission code is different or unknown, request identification help; the absence of a guide or catalog match does not mean the assembly cannot be supplied.

Planning your Allison purchase

Allison covers multiple transmission families and applications. Send the unit’s model and serial identification, vehicle or equipment details, drivetrain and controls information. The name alone does not identify a rebuild specification; confirm acceptance and scope for your exact unit before sending it.

Inside the transmission

More than a case and a part number.

Follow our transmission work from the opened unit to the components on the bench. Bring us your vehicle details and symptoms so we can plan the right repair or replacement.
