    lb7 glow plug wiring

    Was the first relay just not closing the contact to energize the glow plug circuits?

    Ok, so you have the relay pack. Did the harness melt before or after the relay change?

    Help with engine power reduced

    If it is intermittent, there is likely a bad connection at the MAF connector. If it is consistent, then start checking circuit integrity.

    lb7 glow plug wiring

    The fuse can actually handle 175amps of current...the relay, terminals, wires, and bussbar cannot. What gen do you have?? You have the newer controller or the old relay pack?

    Yes, they all will have a little resistance

    Help! At the end of my rope

    The OP claimed that he flashed stock files in and the problem still presented itself.

    That eliminates software issues, sure, but doesn't eliminate another electrical issue or weird sensor, or weird input caused by another mechanical issue. But in this guy's case, they've gone through most of everything it seems, so my bet is on a problem inside the trans.

    Help! At the end of my rope

    I totally understand what y'all were trying to say. But to be honest, as soon as the OP said they had it figured out because they saw the ECM commanding a 6000rpm shift, I mentally discarded that information because it isn't plausible. It isn't real, helpful information. Whether the tcm would...

    Help! At the end of my rope

    Didn't misunderstand it at all, I just thought that it should be made clear that when Brad said that the "ECM has nothing to do with shifts, as to when they occur", that it isn't a true statement, and the reason should be explained. Now what would be neat is if we pooled together and made a...

    Help! At the end of my rope

    If your fuel quantity and torque tables are not set up properly to jive with what your tcm is commanding, then you will have horrible shifts. I should add too, that low end torque derived from tuning and/or truck setup will change how different torque converters respond and couple, which also...

    This is not true...the tcm will command a target for the ecm to try and hit. The ecm calibration 100% does have an effect on shift quality(speed and rpm) and lockup.

    And if they installed the full transgo kit. Some people are still installing it out there in the wild, believe it or not

    That doesn't give much specific info. In fact, if that was what your builder sent to you, I'd be pretty worried.

    Help! At the end of my rope

    Unfortunately, you'll likely have to bring it to a more capable tech to sort this out. Some other info we would need to try to help guide you from here, remotely, is: What parts are in the trans? (Any and all aftermarket parts/mods); Are you able to upload a few .log files here to show us that...

    Attempting to program TCM with Tech2. Calibrations out of date

    Decided to resurface this thread to ask if anyone has tried and had good or bad experiences with the Cardone Reman service for the 6-speed TCMs. (a50/t14) Through RockAuto the service lists for $254.79 and is warrantied. I've had a few bad experiences with different types of non-reman control...

    Oil cooling

    The difference now really is that the tech has been proprietized. The "open source" duramax developers are no longer. The cost of progressing the duramax/allison combo past where it is and where it has been since 2014ish is immense, and not wanting to give the info out for free is...

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    You can buy 5mm pins from McMaster for cheap that are harder than the factory pins (or go elsewhere for some even more hardened); also, I know you are leary of drilling the crank/balancer, but the xdp pin kit is your best option to never having to do it again. Even though the ATI balancers are...

    Trailer Brakes Too Weak

    What is the resistance of the trailer brake circuit?

    Limp mode after new planetary gears

    It should move freely. If it doesn't, clean the bore and valve well with brakekleen and try again. If it still hangs up, then you can try taking a smaller spring, like an accumulator spring, put it deep at the end of the bore and then work the valve in and out quickly with some standard PS...
