You should go and see those folks at the factory they're good people and they work hard at what they do. FL has rails shipping all over the place down here on flatbeds and I see them just about everyday when I run the roads up north in the state. I bet that next week on my way to Bristol I'll see at least 2 flatbeds with FLs going somewhere.

Allison Transmissions are American made and I am proud to own one. This thread has nothing to do with Workhorse, that's in the other forum. Nice shot though if you didn't really have anything significant to contribute to the conversation.

I wouldn't have believed that I would have to take a shot across the bow for stating that I would prefer to buy American And that I support the American RV chassis union worker and their families. I believe that Allison makes the best heavy duty automatic transmissions for RV use and I'll stand by that.

What would cause FLCC to come to this type of litigation and how will it all play out when the case is concluded?

When I find myself going to different events all across the country FL, CAT, Allison and others are usually in the next booth. The RV business is small and everyone knows just about everyone else in this business. I don't have anything negative to say about FL and I am a big fan of Allison. I am sure that most of the FL owners here are also big Allison supporters.

You've got that right. It's a super transmission and when combined with the FL chassis and the Cat engine, it makes for a sweet ride.

Driver,

I believe you took my statement in the wrong context. I was merely stating that is what one should expect from your viewpoints on the other subjects and posts you have made.

We could speculate for some time as to "Why" the suit was filed. But the facts at this time are not known. I am sure the FL had a very good reason to do such a legal thing since they've had a long standing business relation with Allison.

I have been a solid supporter of FL and Allison, that is why I own my second coach that has a FL chassis and Allison transmission. Both are the best products that I feel that are on the market for the RVer today.

I hope when it is settled their will continue a good solid bond for both businesses to work together just like in the past. I also hope that maybe we will have choice for future with another possible tranny that is just as good as the present one in most of the coaches. This would only make for better products.

Ron

Well, I was wrong. I only saw 1 flat bed today with a FL chassis on it going someplace.
