Trans rebuilt at another shop and you’re fixing it……? Why did the owner of the truck have another shop rebuild it ?

this isnt a wiring issue. its a build issue, fluid level issue or something else internal.
I hope you are right on the build issue. the bad thing is I live on the coast and the shop which did the build is over 50 miles inland. they are going to want me to bring it to them. I'm not going to pay the tow bill. Now I know with engs. you start with the lager codes. Is it the same on trans. too.

Good news, you won't have to pay the tow bill as you didn't build the trans nor is it your truck :)

So you're asking us for help on someone else's built trans which needs to likely be removed (as long as fluid level was verified to be correct) but don't want to hear that solution because you want your R&R money. We're trying to help as a forum but you don't want to hear the real solution. You don't have trans building experience per this thread, you didn't build it (meaning that if you crack it open the warranty is void), but don't want to take it back over a couple hundred dollars.


Big also doesn't make it time consuming. An Allison is an extremely quick trans to remove in my opinion. The last one we did the truck came in at 3:15 and by the time the doors closed at 5 the trans was already out and the front drum was most of the way disassembled.
