It's really a great treat to read these post with the well deserved praise for the Allison family! Those of us that are long time Allison owners/drivers know exactly what the term 'family' means! Others will learn in time! After nearly thirty years of experience with these folks, it is truly...

Rob; Thanks for the info! Interesting thought! Fred
