  • Plenty of good information about diesels passed around in many of the episodes but I think it's particularly uninteresting the more they trend into personal opinions on stuff that's only tangentially related.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Upgrading & Addressing the 10L1000 "Allison" 10-Speed | Jared Ewert
Q: What were some early issues GM addressed in the 10-Speed, and what fixes have been implemented?
Early valve body and drum issues were addressed over time, with thicker valving introduced post-2022 and improvements like hard-anodized drums and E-clutch enhancements to increase durability.
Upgrading & Addressing the 10L1000 "Allison" 10-Speed | Jared Ewert
Q: How does the 10-Speed compare to the Allison 1000 in terms of internal design?
They are two completely different generations with separate planetary sets and drum/clutch configurations, though both include planetaries and clutches; GM engineered a distinct system rather than copying Allison.
Upgrading & Addressing the 10L1000 "Allison" 10-Speed | Jared Ewert
Q: What is the foundation of the 10-Speed and who collaborated on it?
The 10-Speed is not an Allison; GM partnered with Ford to co-develop it, then applied the Allison branding through testing and certification processes.
Will Emissions Actually Change For Diesel Trucks? What Was Learned At Emissions Conferences
Q: How do the different drive cycles factor into emissions testing, and why so many tests?
Drive cycles such as FTP 75, US06, and LA92 are used to mimic diverse real-world driving; multiple cycles ensure robust assessment of emissions across scenarios and prevent masking issues.
Will Emissions Actually Change For Diesel Trucks? What Was Learned At Emissions Conferences
Q: What does the testing procedure look like start to finish when a client comes to PTL?
The process starts with a user agreement and a quote, moves to testing on a chassis dyno with modified and stock comparisons driven by EPA drive traces, and ends with a data report to support further certification steps like SEMA or California EO.
