Description
It's true, the Allison 1000 transmission originally set the bar pretty high upon its initial unveiling on the first Duramax-equipped Chevy back in 2001. Many looked to this transmission as being the cure for any future transmission issues. And to some degree, the Allisons have proven themselves, but as with all things, time, hard work, and horsepower will cause them to fatigue and fail. Fortunately, the professionals at Merchant Automotive know the ins and outs of properly building an Allison to deliver the reliability you need from your truck. Merchant Automotive has a long history of building transmissions for customers from all over the country who depend on their trucks for many types of applications. The components in the Maximum Transmissions were selected specifically based on our experience working exclusively on the GM Duramax trucks with an Allison transmission. If you depend on your truck to be there when it counts, the Maximum Work Series Transmission is for you! Designed to optimize the potential of the Allison transmission, even with additional power, this transmission still maintains the smoothness of the stock unit for everyday use, but with increased holding capacity when it counts the most. WARRANTY INFORMATION: Two Year, Unlimited Mileage Warranty CORE RETURN INFORMATION: You will be required to return your original transmission to Merchant Automotive to receive your core deposit back.

However, it is understood that you may have some missing parts and/or damage and we would like to get you as much of a refund as we can for the good usable parts. Below are examples of items that may reduce the maximum credit: Damaged or missing bell housing $300 Damaged or missing rear housing $300 Damaged or missing planetary $600 Unassembled core $200 Missing convertor $200 IMPORTANT FREIGHT NOTE: The Required Shipping Charge Includes The Return Shipping of the Core Pickup

About Merchant Automotive
Merchant Automotive, LLC was founded in 2004 by Eric Merchant. Eric was a long time employee of GM dealerships before forming Merchant Automotive, LLC. Eric got his start in high school where he discovered his passion for anything with a motor. He took his passion and turned it into a career in 1993 working in a small shop doing brakes and alignment work. He accumulated knowledge daily and soon took a position at a GM dealership in 1995 and advanced up the ranks over the next 10 years. Along the way, Eric studied the business hard, taking over 3000 hours of GM training and maintaining ASE Master Certification since 1998.

In April 2008, Merchant Automotive moved into its current location in Zeeland, MI. The move was a huge undertaking that involved a complete remodel of the building. That building, having over 10,000 sq ft of space, has allowed for greater expansion and a large retail front.

Merchant Automotive staffs only professionals who have an intimate knowledge in all the Duramax/Allison platforms and are dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. Merchant provides you with highly specific technical information not found anywhere else, and many of their products are custom designed and manufactured in-house to maximize the performance and reliability of your truck.
