    Trans problems. Help please

    I was under the impression that if you take the tail housing off that you had to take the entire trans out or things fall out of alignment internally...

    Question: What Year Of The Duramax Should I Buy?

    Lb7/lly have crap rods Lbz/lmm have crap pistons. In both cases your talking about failures when pushing 600hp+ You read more about lb7 injectors going (every other week someone is replacing them it seems). You see more lly head gasket issues. Only issue I have heard of with the lbz...

    Question: What Year Of The Duramax Should I Buy?

    Lbz is problem free. But your going to pay a premium up front for it.

    Plasti Dip? Anyone used it

    Did my rear bumper first. 5 coats. Still looks good. Did my front grill and all chrome on the bumper, 3 coats black and 2 glossifyer. Not a fan of the gloss. Didn't use enough on the front. I need probably 10 layers due to the winter roads.

    Transmission leak

    Suncoast should. My kit from them came with seals and gaskets for everything

    Transmission leak

    Any big rig shops near you? The local western star dealership in town is allison authorized. I had to grab a new gasket during my build last week and they had one, cheaper then GM and in stock. I'd look there first.

    Converter lock up WITHOUT a lock up box

    Well, I think I'm gonna give this a try. Just need Kory to reply to my email. Maybe he missed my last email and I should send a couple more:o

    CRU65's LBZ build thread

    Nice truck :thumb: Light bar is exactly where I put mine, Moose can't hide from me anymore :) Oh, look at your truck from the back, looks like a train car that should be on rails, I recommend some 2" wheel spacers. Best appearance mod I've made :D You just need a lift pump and a trans, then...

    Do I need a trans tune?

    Must have to do with the TCM, because the trans all have the same gear ratios. That's all I can think it could be. :confused:

    6 Speed Allison Trans Tune

    Lockup box...upgrade it and send it my way. I'd prefer hardware over software any day.

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    I'm sure it won't be a cheap fix, but I'm stoked to get it working properly for sure. Gonna see if the trans shop will let me take pics when they crack it open. I wanna see the carnage I created so I never screw it up again. I'm sure even the best builders have screwed up here and there, all...

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    Gotta pay to play, this is unfortunately probably going to be an expensive lesson. I enjoyed the quality 1-on-1 time with my dad though. The trans could have fallen out, you can't replace the time I spent with him though:hug:

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    It didn't have the issue until after a 30min drive with the tech, when I took it to the grocery store.

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    Pretty sure that Torrington got squished because I heard a crunch sound once when I started and once as I got close to having the extention housing completely down. It makes a grinding noise kind of in reverse and 1st, it's noticeable most at 1200ish rpm in 1st gear. My stomach totally sunk. Me...

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    ...Not all good. I think I crushed the Torrington bearing when I put the extention housing in. It goes to the trans shop Wednesday. I'm hoping there is no damage to anything else. I heard what I can only presume was a crunch when I started to tighten the tail housing down though, and yes I...

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    Is there a break in time on the trans now? Or once its been reprogrammed can I start getting skinny happy and take it to the track? Thanks everyone who offered advice and help. I just hope that the way I did my c3's and c4's doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. That's 2 phone calls I...

    Bang on Mike. Added fluid, codes deleted and stayed gone. It moves, no codes. Off to do the reprogramming. Thanks Mike.
