The Baby walker fifth wheel hitch in Pink, thats awesome
Would have been awesome if when baby powerstroke started crying they said oh she blew a head gasket
Funny...great commercial for Isuzu diesels... 
What they seem to gloss over is how little Allison and Duramax care about making it so your truck will actually WORK for you. There is more out there than just pickups, guys!
All of what they were saying was true, but what wasn't covered is that both Muncie and Chelsea, the largest US PTO producers do NOT recommend putting PTO's on Allison pickup-style trannys. They are noisy because of the gear cut. Not under load, but coasting, like 99% of your driving. If you have a PTO on a chebby, you know what I mean. Allison will deny it vehemently, and say that it is the PTO installer's fault, or the PTO manf fault, but there is no getting around it.
Fine, if you don't want a noisy PTO, there is another way to get hydraulic power, using what is called a clutch pump. That unit is a hydraulic pump that you run with fan belts on the front of your motor.There is a set of brackets that you buy to bolt it all up, and the front of the hydraulic pump has an electric clutch like your AC compressor, and it has 2 dedicated belts to turn it. When the belts are new and adjusted properly, we can get 22 hp off of them to operate a tow truck, rollback, small dump truck, bale loader, or crane.
The only thing is, Chebby never put a keyway on the crank for the harmonic balancer! Just a taper and a bolt to hold it all together. They limited us to pulling 7 hp off the front of the motor. wow... all that power, and they will let us body builder/truck equipment guys have 7 of em.
But cute commercials none the less...

Lets see last year we bought a new Boom Truck for our Hi Reach lighting Division went Ford this time around, Didn't sell the Izuzu that we had driven into the ground for 6 years good thing because as much as we would of loved to drive that POS FORD off a bridge we couldn't get it out of the shop long enough to do it.

I know the problems Ford has had has been centered around the motors, this year they changed the PTO gear design so it is actually running off the flywheel. Good or bad, I dunno, time will tell. But I do have a lot of customers with chebbys and Fords in the propane industry, and they both are struggling right now.
I kinda like my Cheby

I must be missing something here. The clutch fan will surely draw more than 7 hp when it's trying to cool the truck on a hot climb, and it's driven from the HB to the water pump, right?
