Good news! While the 625 hp Cat engine weights a couple of hundred pounds more than the Series 60 Detroit, the ZF transmission weighs several hundred pounds less than an Allision (primarily because the automated mechanical clutch of the ZF weighs less than the Allison's torque converter). The Cat/ZF combination weighs a couple of hundred pound less than the Detroit/Allison combo.
