    Maybe because GM sold the division and the new guys are redoing it. Just my guess.

    Oh! I guess I didn't know GM had sold it. Who did they sell it to?

    GM did retain ownership of the Allison plant in Baltimore that builds the Allison 1000 M/D trans that goes in the 2500-5500 series. (5500 series has an optional 2230 RDS series-don't know what plant it comes from).
