The Allison 10L1000 is one of the most advanced transmissions GM has ever used in the Silverado and Sierra HD. But like any hard-working unit, it can fail when pushed by heavy towing, power adders, or just miles of service. When that happens, owners often ask: “Should I rebuild my Allison 10L1000, or step up to a built replacement?” Let’s break down the real costs.
A full rebuild on an Allison 10L1000 isn’t just labor. Shops often quote a low number up front, but hidden costs stack quickly:
By the time the invoice is tallied, many Allison owners spend $6,000–$7,500 for what’s essentially a refreshed stock unit, no upgrades, no extra holding power, and no guarantee it won’t be back in the shop under heavy load.
That’s why we steer most customers toward a built replacement instead of a standard rebuild. Our Allison 10L1000 builds include upgraded internals, stronger clutch packs, and proprietary components that solve known weak points.
Here’s how it compares:
Rebuild (Typical Shop) | Built Allison 10L1000 (Inglewood) |
---|---|
OEM frictions & steels only | Upgraded frictions, steels, drums, and clutches |
Stock torque converter (if replaced) | Performance converter options matched to build |
No extra capacity for towing or tuning | Rated for heavy towing, power adders, and high HP |
90-day to 1-year warranty (varies) | 3-year unlimited-mile warranty |
$6,000–$7,500 with surprises | $6,800–$8,200 depending on build level |
We offer multiple options depending on your truck’s use case:

A built 10L1000 includes upgraded internals, a stronger converter, and a warranty designed for towing and power. Cost is similar, but you get far more value and reliability.
