    57 Chevy Duramax

    I used the harness, ecm, TCM, bcm, cluster, column and fuse blocks for mine and it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. I've still got to kill a few warning lights in the cluster for the airbags and seatbelts, but everything works great including the tow/haul and cruise control.

    S10 4.3 swap

    As mentioned the bell housings are different, and most everything else attached to it. If you could pick up a cheap donor that was wrecked or just horribly rusty it would be far easier IMO. I can also relate on that beast of an engine your running, my truck was originally a 4wd long bed with a...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    Thanks Baddaddition, but I finally got it going again this evening and you are right about the VSS. I guess the original issue was a combination of a failed Pressure Switch Manifold and a failed VSS. I just can't figure out how the transfer case failure triggered all of it. Anyway, when I...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    I have considered going back to a single case with this drive-train, but it would create a serious issue with my front drive-shaft angle and the air-ride's 16 inches of travel. With the dual cases it makes my front shaft long enough to handle the angle safely. Besides, all I have changed...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    Sorry to leave you guys hanging, but I gave up and took it to the transmission shop I have used for years and take all of my customers transmissions to. So, after 2 and a half months of "I should be able to look at it next week" only to have him tell me that he thinks something is wrong in the...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    Thanks a bunch for that link Kappa! That is the second thread that I have read through that ended with a valve body replacement fixing this exact issue. I'm going to test the wiring as described in that thread, if I don't find anything there I will pull the valve body and have it checked at a...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    Ok, i may have had one of those codes wrong, the more i think about it I'm thinking that it was a 766 instead of 776, but i can't find my paper where i wrote them down. Isn't age wonderful! Anyway, i spoke with my local trans guy and told him what it had done so he suggested that i change the...

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    That was my thinking to and I'm going to check it out further. Tell me about it, talk about disheartening.... You know I really like the Allison transmission when they work right, but it sure is a finicky turd.

    Issues after transfer case failure....

    Well....It goes like this. Apparently upon assembling my rear transfer case I forgot to install the rearward most C-clip. It finally showed itself when the shaft shifted forward while decelerating and sounded like the transfer was eating itself. This immediately sent the transmission into limp...

    05 LLY into 99 RCSB 1500

    That sucks about the title stuff....Makes me really glad that I live in an area that doesn't care. Hopefully they don't power trip on it and pass it. That's about what I was expecting on the weight as well, mine came in at 5,860, so I'm right there with you power to weight wise. Wait until you...

    05 LLY into 99 RCSB 1500

    Very cool swap! My LLY temp runs exactly where your saying yours is all the time, even towing so far. Have you had a chance to weigh it yet, really curious how it compares to mine?

    Duramax in a 1st gen S10

    Hey guys, got an issue(s) with it that I'm going you guys can help me with. Apparently I don't have something wired up correctly, the glow plug system isn't functioning properly because the light on the cluster is random and will stay on sometimes. When I shut it off the #5 EDU relay will click...

    Duramax in a 1st gen S10

    Ok, fixed the noise today, it was the EGR block off whistling. Plus I weighed this PIG on the very scale that I weighed it on before the Duramax/Allison swap and it was 5760 lbs. Besides the engine/tranny I added the 2001 dash, insulation, sound deadening material and mass loaded vinyl. I...

    Duramax in a 1st gen S10

    Update time: I've stayed after this ugly turd, wrapping up a lot of the little boring parts of a build of this nature and last night I finally got to drive it home for the first time! :woott: Still got a lot of little stuff to wrap up before it sees enough road time to make sure I didn't mess...
