Great video! I do think you showed everything step by step and left out the small talk. I have pulled 2 of them and both times they were much easier to pull than any car trans I’ve worked on. The bolts on bell housing on top are tough but hey, life is tough. I just have to get in there and do it
Josh those guys took care of with that trans I’m happy for you bro you deserve it. It must feel good to have a fresh transmission done by the best! Now you can roll those 35’s all you want.
Great. Having some electrical issues right now from mice this Michigan winter as I parked my truck. I really like some of the angles you showed so I could see those wires. Got a lot to check for.
New LBZ owner and I definitely subscribed as soon as I found the channel. Thank you for your service and isn't it great to be retired? I have been for two years. I seriously want to relocate to get in on the Dmax brotherhood and be closer to those awesome shops!
I get to do all of that fun stuff in a few weeks since my bellhousing and rear engine plate are cracked. All due to a bad shimmy from my rear u-joint on my 1 piece rear drive shaft. Great how to video.
@@TruckMaster I will look at the ppe or the merchant automotive braces. I am also keeping up on the lube order for my silveraydo so i dont have anymore damage.
im sittin here on boc duty i must of watched atleast 4 hours of your videos. i purchased my first vehicle 06 LBZ dmax about 4 months ago 170xxx miles for 10k. alot of upgrades already done. i enjoy watching your videos thank your for the knowledge. shoulda been a 91b. Not a 88M. ALL THE WAY AIRBORNE
Thank you guys so much, I'm not sure what the wiring harness is called but it's the one that you have to pinch the sides and pull off, I searched videos and yours was the only one I found that showed how'd to get the harness off.
Just an FYI apparently there was a transmission vent leak on many Allison trans applications. They will blow fluid out the vent on the back top of housing on the left side. It's from a little design flaw or poor communication from Allison and the other manufacturers. The dipstick tubes need a vent, or remove the vent on the trans and extend it up higher at firewall etc. Possibly work to drill a hole in dipstick tube. Apparently there's TSB on it and random info in a search.

Upon further investigation, the technician may find a small fluid leak in the area at the back of the transmission by the vent. Cause This condition may be caused by fluid being discharged out the transmission vent. During extreme cold weather, (approximately -25°C (-15°F or colder), Dexron® VI and other conventional transmission fluids become extremely viscous. When this highly viscous fluid is circulated into the vent area, it becomes trapped and it is not able to properly drain back to the pan. As the transmission warms up, the expansion of the air inside the transmission can force the trapped fluid out the vent and leads to small drops of fluid being discharged. Correction Only on 2001-2004 models, replace the transmission fluid indicator (dipstick) with a new vented indicator, P/N 15794381. On 2001-2011 models, remove the stock vent assembly and run an external tube and vent up to the front of the transmission to a mounting bracket. The extra length of tube allows the expelled fluid to be trapped and later drained back into the transmission.
I'm removing the allison from my '03 GMC. Everything is disconnected and the transmission comes loose except for right around the aligning stud on the left side of the trans. I have pryed etc. but can't break it loose. I certainly don't want to break the housing - any suggestions? Can I apply heat without increasing the danger of breakage?
Make sure you got all the bolts out. Use some trans fluid to lube the bell housing drink a few cold beverages, and there you go comes off like butter!!!!
You guys skipped the part where you take the flywheel bolts out that’s the part I’m stuck on right now and I don’t want to take the top fan cover off to spin the crank or is that the only way I can’t turn the flywheel with that little hole where the starter goes
Will you please do a more in depth video on the 64mm and 68mm I believe turbos that Ryan’s diesel service offers? I’ve looked everywhere and I really want to run one but I can’t really find too much info on them video wise. Thanks 🤙🏻
It’s about relaxing and enjoying it. Don’t even try to work fast just work safe. Listen to music and laugh along the way. Most important thing is to breathe deep when working in a tight area. It will all come out just fine. Don’t force anything
Nah, they did it in 3 hours with several mechanics that have done this many times before. If you have pulled a trans before then just look at this as being a two day job on the ground. It’s not bad because these trucks have a lot of room to work compared to cars. The starter on this one takes me a 3’ extension. No kidding. They somehow got it off with a wrench so I will try it again with a speed ratchet. I hope it works because the starter was truly the hardest part.
Man, the only way was something was not supported. The only thing that really has ti be supported when I do it is the transmission itself. Hopefully you can find a good used one
I have a 2001 lb7 it would crank but won’t start. It was running before and then it cut off after 20 minutes of it running. I feel like it’s not getting enough diesel. what is wrong with my truck??
Need more info. Have you done any engine mods? Miles on engine? Do you have a lift pump(Air Dog/Fass)? How long since you changed fuel filter(s)? Have you tried using the hand primer to help get fuel?
@@hmfzaee835 check engine oil level. If it is overfilled and/or smells like raw diesel fuel you most likely have an injector issue. If oil is ok try pumping hand primer on top of fuel filter housing until firm. Crank engine. Repeat hand primer and crank if it does not start the first time. If it does start you may have an air leak in the fuel filter housing causing air to enter the low pressure side of the fuel system. You said it died after running for 20 minutes. You would need a scan tool to check further. I have seen many crankshaft position sensors fail after the engine starts to get up to temp. Monitor engine rpm on the scan tool while cranking. Rpm should show 270-500rpm. If it stays at 0 rpm it is most likely a bad crankshaft position sensor.
Were you aware that you can no longer Tune trucks anymore? Idaho Rob closed his shop down. Check out Adrenaline Truck Performance. The EPA is cracking down and shutting illegal tuning down. So keep what you have and tuning is hard to come by nowadays. It is all over the Duramax forums. PM me for more details. Cheers!
You talk too much get to the meat and potatoes am hungry for 😃 😊 😀 😄. A few hours later , Dang great video dude. I like how you zoomed in to show the torque conv bolts. So not looking forward to doing that part. I hope you bought them a case of cold " LEMODADES "
Sorry to bug you again sir, but your channel is to help ppl learn stuff. I’m trying to learn. I have an 05 LLY and my buddy has an 04 Duramax (different engine code that i can’t recall now) but, we both have recently replaced water pump, power steering pump with all new hoses, alternator, and replaced all pullies with new... we both now seem to have an issue with the both trucks whining. It does not whine when it’s cold . After warming up, it whines loud to us... . Nobody else seems to be able to hear it but it’s there. We have checked everything we can think of. The only thing we can think, the OEM power steering pumps just whine from being new. Has anyone you know ever heard of this? The truck runs great... it does not cause or have any issues. We just know our trucks and can hear it. Any tips to check? My mechanic has listened with a stethoscope and can’t really pinpoint where the noise comes from.
Tim Evans have you checked your power steering lines? They metal parts may be contacting the pump reservoir, the hydroboost, the frame or eachother which could some noise to be heard. If you have a friend to help, have one person listen to the noise and the other wear a leather glove and grab each power steering line individually. Move the steel lines one at a time and see if the noise changes and/or goes away.
Kevin Kalivoda I will try that out. It just seemed odd that we both replaced basically the same parts on 2 different duramax trucks and both have a whine. We will check what you suggested. All the lines are new so they could be touching something. Just odd that it only does it when the truck gets up to temp. When I really hear it the best is coming to a stop. As i slow down, At about 40mph the transmission will drop to first gear, the RPM drop from 2000 to about 600 and the whine drops off and sounds very strange. Both trucks run great just weird
@@thinblueswinebbq dont forget, your power steering is at a high load when braking and low rpm means lower output from the pump so those 2 combined really works the system. Some of the forums have commented about poor quality issues with reman power steering pumps (since new are no longer available for older trucks), even from ac delco.
God Bless you all! All glory to God! Turn from your sins and live for God! Romans 10:9 “if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God rose Him from the dead you will be saved.”
The size of all the bolts your taking out would be very helpful in this video. And for that reason I’d say it’s not that great of a Allison removal video
Truck Master I mean I’ve pulled my trans before so I don’t need a video. But if you calling it the best on RUclips you think the size of the bolts would be included.
As a transmission rebuilder and converter rebuilder you are doing so much wrong. First don’t ever! Turn the converter by digging at the converter with a pry bar! Do you know what that does inside the converter? You use a special wrench to turn the crank on front of the engine on a duramax/ Allison trans. Take the cross member out before you do transfer case. Your working way to hard around it. Never use hammer on cooling lines to remove.

Best way to turn the fly wheel and torque is a 1 1/2in wrench on the crank, can't hurt either if a pry bar never touches them. Thanks for the vid

Another great video
I have one of these one a 6.0 ls they bolted oil pan behind flywheel had to pulls trans just for oil pan on brinks
Do you have to support the engine when you pull the transmission. If so where do you support it?
Big help thank you

Check out Rustbelts video's and if you have further questions feel free to give us a call Zach, we are open Monday-Friday 9-5pm central time.. Thanks
I know this is old but what did you do to this transmission? Complete rebuild?
Hey, huge fan and this has nothing to do with this video and it’s personal, but what’s a rough number and time period on painting a truck
🤷♂️ mine took 3 weeks and quotes from $1500-10k it depends how much you want to spend
The best way to roll your torque converter is a socket and really long ratchet on the harmonic balancer bolt on front of the crank
100 percent!! These guys in this video should delete this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was awesome!!
Thanks
Hi,where is the location of allison temperature transmission sensor?
Wax your truck an put some tire shine that thing sittin nice👍
Thanks 👍
What stall are you running with your 68 mm? I have a 1900-2200 (DK) Goerend Torque Converter.
thank u so much!!!
Can you sneak the transfer case out on a non lifted truck without taking the torsion bars out?
Yes
@@TruckMaster Thanks for the quick reply buddy! Keep the vids coming
Yea once it’s in the trans jack you could always use a frame jack and lift it from either the rear or front and slide it out from the side
They make that look so easy lol. It aint.
hell no it ain’t ll
I'm getting ready to try it I hope it's at least 1/10th as easy as they made it look.
It’s about relaxing and enjoying it. Don’t even try to work fast just work safe. Listen to music and laugh along the way. Most important thing is to breathe deep when working in a tight area. It will all come out just fine. Don’t force anything
Holy crap. I guess its worth paying someone to do this. I don't see this going smooth in my driveway
How’d you end up doing it? 😂

Would've been a good time to install your new transmission lines
Your right I have new ones in my garage that’s why I held off
Did you have to take out the down pipe
I just pulled my trans had a u joint out and broke bell housing rear tail housing and rear engine cover
Also lost all the coolant and possibly overheated engine
@@lcazier619 gonna need a new transmission.
Man, the only way was something was not supported. The only thing that really has ti be supported when I do it is the transmission itself. Hopefully you can find a good used one
Was able to get the parts for less then 1k and had it back up and running trans and motor were good.
What size are the flex plate bolts
