    Swap into a 2001

    I'd love to get a built transmission, but right now it's not in the cards. I found a guy selling a 2002 Allison and the talks we have had he doesn't seem like he's trying to pull one over on me. I know there are some differences in the 2001 year, what would be involved in getting this trans...

    Electrical Gremlins.

    I know on my '01 the gauge cluster is wired from the sensors. Which is why oil pressure sensors, and coolant temp sensors are different on the '01, but the same on '02 - 04' (and probably other years). Same as the power windows.

    The Ford's are fully cast for Ford. I've gone down that rabbit hole too

    P0841 and P1711 after wiring harness swap

    I had some codes that pointed at a wiring harness issue, I got a new one and the pressure sensing board, both Rostra branded parts. For the most part everything went smooth, and I thought I got everything swapped out (couldn't use the plastic loom on the new harness, so I used the original, all...

    Security Light, No Start

    My wife's GrandAm that she had while we were dating was the worst for the Passlock crap. I did the resistor fix on it and everything was good after that, but I can't count how many times I was stuck in a parking lot waiting the 10 minutes for it to relearn the key because I didn't keep the key...

    Oil Leak front end

    Grab a paper towel from the kitchen and wipe some of it. That will typically show any colors. Could also be power steering, which would be clear, but could be dark if the dirt and muck from the engine contaminated it on it's travel down. These engines are pretty tight. I've had leaks from...

    Oil Leak front end

    What color is the oil? If it happens only when driving could be a fitting on the trans cooler (or the cooler it's self) is leaking.

    2001 Limp Mode - Multiple codes

    Up until just recently, my Allison has been the reliable one. I'm worried that I may be in for a rebuild now. I helped a friend move some things to the dump, couple hundred pounds of trash, nothing exciting, truck ran perfectly, no weird shifts or anything, each gear felt good, and no...

    Other manual options

    I'm always on the lookout for a ZF6 for my 2001, and I came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/297431000126 Am I right to understand that this is a Duramax to Ford ZF6 factory adapter? I did see that fords suffer from the same tail-housing issue as our dear ZF's, which got me thinking, what...

    LB7 Transfer Case Serious leak from output shaft seal, Transfer Case fluid is full

    One thing I was thinking of last night, could there be something going on in the transmission, fluid pressure or flow that could cause this?

    LB7 Transfer Case Serious leak from output shaft seal, Transfer Case fluid is full

    Fixed the title, I usually spend my days in the LB7 forum o_O That's good news. I don't feel any play in the chain on the output shaft of the transfer case. I'll remove it this weekend and see what I can find.

    LB7 Transfer Case Serious leak from output shaft seal, Transfer Case fluid is full

    So it's just a rebuild of the transfer case, not something on/in the transmission? I read about a seal on the transmission that would cause this too?

    LB7 Transfer Case Serious leak from output shaft seal, Transfer Case fluid is full

    Title says it all. Drove back from the airport the other day and when I went out to my truck this morning the passenger side had oil on it, looking at the undercarriage it's caked with oil. First worry was pump rub, but it looks like the oil is only coming from the seal, I washed down the rub...

    Head gasket build

    On the Flashscan, does it do more than just upload tunes? I'm in need of a new scan tool and was wondering if it had those abilities too?

    New guy with a new to me old truck, headgasket r-n-r questions

    Good choice on truck. I'll never part-ways with my 01'. It might not be the fastest truck, but I haven't encountered a mountain I couldn't pull my travel trailer while maintaining the speed limit. Head studs would be a worth while investment as well. I did my engine in '20 as my covid...

    Trailer Brake Controller

    Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm glad I was on the right track. The DirectLink controller, does it attach to the CAN network? If so, my truck missed that by 1 year.

    Trailer Brake Controller

    Correction, I have a Primus original version. Are the reasons they don't list my truck as compatible is because they don't have a harness that fits my truck? The Primus I have has the same connector as the P3, it would be great if that was a drop in replacement.

    Trailer Brake Controller

    When I bought my truck many years ago it came with the original Prodigy brake controller. It worked good for the few times I used it. We bought a 26' travel trailer this year and the brake controller works intermittently, and then flashes errors on the LCD digit display. I was looking for a...

    LB7 fuel issues

    P0087 was thrown on my truck just prior to the CP3 going out. The Checking Desired vs Actual will be the tale-tell sign. Mine had the error and worked great for a week or so, then out of the blue it wouldn't start when I was heading home after loading a trailer full of building materials...

    Won't Stay Running

    I had a similar issue a few years ago. Did the tests above, rebuild my filter assembly, etc. At the time I had access to a tech2, and was able to diagnose the issue as low fuel pressure during cranking. Replaced the CP3 and have been golden since then.
