Man he is quick. Looks like he could of done this with a blind fold. I wish all mechanics were like him. He seems to actually care about the customer. Great work my man!!
I was like whoa whoa whoa, slow down there trigger so us driveway half wits can start on a Friday and hopefully put it in drive before Monday morning 😂🤪.
Great video! Just wish it would have showed more of the disassembly. You have to watch the video at the end just to figure out exactly how it came apart.
is there a part number or source for the additional "slightly longer", "upgraded" springs, it appears as though they are not a part of the trans-go kit. getting ready to do this myself soon, great video as always.
wow always been intimidated by transmissions, now i know why , if i get this done professional will do it ! Mark thanks for the in-depth look at the Trans-go Jr kit ! Great Video TM.
"Something you can do on a Saturday morning." NOT THIS GUY!!! Haha! Anyway, Excellent video. Did an excellent job explaining his procedure and camera caught all the angles. Top notch.
I've done this kit as well. It's really easy to do so don't be overly worried about. Pay attention, take your time, and it'll be alright. It's way easier than injectors I assure you that. ha ha
Damn, Mark is made for the camera or to teach. He is never searching for the words to describe what he is doing. Thats pretty rare. Most people have long pauses and a bunch of "uhm's".
Till mark thanks from me for his own time he took to show all of us dude it was awesome info I love ur channel note are u going to do more builds bud I know and understand trust me I know it takes time and money to build a truck
I Like this Upgrade ... I have a 2004 GMC SIERRA HD with 8.1..through out the Vedeo I Head you say that it's for the Allison 1000 6 Speed, How do know if mine Transmission is a 5 or a 6 Speed. Or is that Upgrade Kit "Only for the 6 Speed ?....
I've had this kit sitting under my back seat for 4 years and I'm still scared to do it. I'm able to rebuild engines but this has me uncomfortable I dont know why...
Has anyone found a part number or specs for the “upgraded springs “? I installed the kit on my LMM 2 years ago but didn’t see anything about the springs when I did it. About to do it on another truck and curious if they make a difference
“About an hour in your driveway”........I don’t think so. Otherwise, you’re jacking up the truck, draining the trans fluid, removing the pan, unbolting the valve body, disassemble the valve body, cleaning all the parts (not having a parts cleaner), drilling and surfacing, re-assembly to torque settings, etc and putting back together and buttoning up the pan and refilling trans fluid. You’re dreaming.
Just did my valve body and solenoids on my 2012 F250 6.7 was shifting hard mostly after a cold soak. I used software called Forscan kinda like a cheaper version of IDS does Chevy have something similar?The truck shifts like new now and i can now run my more aggresive tunes thanks for the vidio and the confidence to take on the project stay safe GOD BLESS!!!!!
I wonder what their opinion is on the tru cool 40k cooler upgrade or transmission cooler upgrades in general. About to start towing a fifth wheel with my lb7 and I’m curious if some extra cooling power would help.
I going to be looking for a 2wheel drive Cummins to do a triple turbo Cummins race truck but not going fill block because that's like 20gs to build a money motor build but u should do a build again this next year
@Truck Master....here is a question for Mark....2006 Allison 1000 6 speed, throws a P0761 code for solenoid C when temps are cooler, 40 degrees and below or sitting for months on end in cold temperature (Summer truck).....thoughts? I have some but I would rather hear from "THE Specialist"
dhd sells them look up mike L springs dirtyhookerdiesel.com/i-21262955-dhd-rt-a-es-allison-5-6-speed-improved-shift-valve-springs.html dirtyhookerdiesel.com/i-21245091-allison-transmission-high-capacity-mike-l-trim-spring.html
I’m pretty sure this is for 06 and up. 05 still had the 5 speed Allison which this kit does not work on. Much more of a process for the 5 speed Allison’s unfortunately.
Yea but a shift kit on the 6 speed you can go through the pan while it’s in the truck. A shift kit on the 5 speed the whole dam thing has to come out and almost torn down. Big difference. And I don’t know of an 05 duramax with a 6 speed. That’s the question.
Can you ask Mark what his opinion is on the PPE deep trans pan and filter? I know it adds a quart of fluid, but will it really help with cooling and overall protection or just for looks. Thanks Josh!!
I have run the same hill in summer with the same weight same Everthing , I have had both deep pan and the stock Allison pan on a 2007 duramax classic. In outside temp running 90 degrees it takes maybe just a tag longer for my trans temp to reach 205-08. I found with the less trans fluid my tranny would cool off quicker. I’m talking about 5 -7 miles after reaching the top of the grade
If you are going to do a deep pan I would do the Allison steel deep pan (better price and it is steel). The deep pan will not KEEP your trans fluid cooler, it will only make it take a little longer to heat up. If the goal is to keep it cooler, for the price of the PPE deep pan you can get a mid grade external trans cooler. And for $300-$600 you can get a very good trans cooler. The stock trans cooler’s biggest downfall is that it is inside of the radiator, so it doesn’t actually cool off very well since it cant cool lower than the engine temp. Now I will say that I still like deep trans pans, but only steel ones. Yes the little extra fluid is nice, but the larger filters and MAINLY for a drain plug (some stock pans dont haveone) the little extra depth is what I install them for. A steel pan and the extra depth are good so you can add a few extra neyomidyum magnets inside the pan. When I had my first transmission rebuilt on a truck the research I found, and agreed by multiple transmission shops all said that having a few more magnets in the pan is very useful for collecting any metal particles. A normal pan at best (from any I have seen, which NO is not all by any means) will have a magnet on the drain plug (if that pan has a drain plug) and 1 (ferrite) magnet in the pan. Adding a few more magnets greatly increases the ability to keep those metal pieces out of circulation. Now yes on some stock pans you can add magnets, but you have to be very careful so they don’t touch anything, and you dont want them to interfere with the transmission functions. So having the extra depth is very nice for adding magnets.
Is this a reposted video? I thought I saw this one a few months ago. Either way, still a great video. I am going to do the transgo jr really soon. Thanks for the video Truckmaster.
Hi I'm Ahmad from Jordan i have durmax 2006 lly and Alison gearbox on it I have problem in my gear That's wen i put on D or R The truck starts moving actually i am pressing the brakes i don't no why the truck doing that and ther lots of noise in my gear So please can you help me because we don't have an experience man can fix this model of these trucks in our country And i need to know how much litter this gear takes when i change the oil for the gear I'm sorry but i need help Thanks.
Good God I am glad I won't do that at home ill have my diesel Mechanic do my tranny stuff I will.be spending $14.000 next month on a hole build on my truck doing cheetha fleece 63mm and air dog stage 2 injectors glow plugs turbo intercooler and plumbing cam and bigger arp head studs cp3 pumps transmission build Suncoast transmission build doing the true lock 3rd member paint job oh my God rims and much more never went this big on a build in one burst truck will be down right sexy ill be posting with the build on face book fallow me Josh the truck will be ready for truck show and dyno pulls
So this applies to a 2005 5spd? My trans is stock, and babied. Pulls a heavy camper, but that is is biggest job. Is the shift kit worth doing, without the spring upgrade for the 4/5 clutch pack?
