“Problem with transmission cooler lines for the allison transmission. 123,000km's on my 3500 and the transmission lines have been replaced 3 times. 2 times were on warranty and the 3rd I had to pay for myself. I have extended warranty but is not covered, bunch of bs. Cost me 850 dollars to fix. Should be a recall on them, even the dealer ship says they have lots of problem with the lines. When ever it turns cold they start to leak and have to be changed.”
