I see the check engine light is on. Would help to know what codes it has. Otherwise it's a shot in the dark and were throwing out wild ass guesses...

It could be an injector issue. Double check all the connections.

Sure sounds like you got a mismatched injector firing order or maybe one or more injectors aren't firing. Wires or plugs into the wrong injectors or not connected properly. How's the balance rates? Do you have any smoke at idle?

Ok I'm at the transmission sensors there are 3 the all look the same. Allison 1000. Or they all universal? ??‍♀️??‍♀️ So basically the numbers on the top they are all the same 29536409 which is part number. And the numbers on the side I type that in and nothing comes up but they're all different 06025, 06234, 05255. What is what or which is which? ?‍? Front engine speed, middle turbine speed sensor, output speed sensor. They all look the same.

What makes you suspect the speed sensors? Engine should run fine regardless of the condition of those sensors. Are you working on a different issue?

No i borrowed a scanner and man o man never seen so many codes in my life so just going through grounds, connectors, and just overlooking all of these codes. One specialty gpm glow plugs connectors and the modular it's self but do appreciate y'all's time.

I'd probably considerate on one item at a time. Get the engine running good with no engine codes. Then see if you have any other codes and deal with them as a system. I'd have to look at the schematics but I wouldn't be surprised if all three of those sensors used the same power and possibly ground. Loose the power and all three will freak out. Not common to have that many issues without one basic common cause

Often it's as simple as low or bad batteries. It's good you're going through all the grounds and connections. Better that then throwing parts at it

Oh yeah I totally agree first things first grounds and connector oh yeah guess what need two new batteries ?. So I agree but this is all so much fun and a great learning experience honestly I really do appreciate this forum y'all are awesome ♥️✌?

Hey y'all good Monday to you all, just it quick follow up on my truck, 2005 LLY Duramax swap for 2006 LBZ I've come to the conclusion of the FICM fuel injector control module. Im pretty sure I need to get a new one as well . I'll keep y'all posted and BTW thank you all for the insight and for much information y'all have helped me with. I know I'm not alone in this. ✌?♥️✌?♥️

LBZ doesn't have a FICM.

The fueling control is handled by the ECU on the LBZ model unlike the LLY and the LB7 which used an FICM to control the Injectors.

Since we are not there in person, we can not see what parts you have used to make this run.

If you used the LBZ ECU with the LBZ engine and harness there should be no issue.

LBZ ECM will have trouble talking to the BCM and TCM as they are J1939 while the LBZ GMLAM

So, either keep the LLY ECM and FICM or swap out all of the computers and harness/repin
