What kind of transmission do I need for a Duramax truck?
What kind of transmission do I need for a Duramax truck?
Modified Chevy or GMC Duramax diesel trucks can have a hard time getting every bit of horsepower and torque to the wheels with a factory stock diesel transmission. That’s why an upgraded diesel performance transmission is the best bet to handle the 1500 lb-ft of torque that some modified Duramax engines can produce.
Why is my Duramax diesel engine not working?
The trucks computer keeps track of how much fuel needs to be added or subtracted from each individual cylinder to make the engine run smoothly, and this value is called the balance rate. If one cylinder is contributing too much or not as much as the rest, the cause is usually a bad injector and the cure is a replacement.
How much power does a Duramax Diesel have?
Power was at an all-time high coming in at 397hp and 765 pounds of torque, and in order to provide this much power while still keeping pollutants low, GM needed to be able to increase the pressure in the fuel system to levels above what the tried-and-true CP3 could safely deliver.
What’s the temp outside in a Chevy Duramax?
Right now, the temps outside are barely reaching 70 degrees and after a 30 minute drive, the transmission temps SLOWLY creep up to 200-210 degrees. The drive is back roads and some traffic. On the highway it gets to about 190 from what I’ve seen.
Why does my Chevy 2500 Duramax not move?
Loving it except for the fact that 1800 miles in, the truck would not move. Last week I had just launched my boat after a short 2 mile pull to the ramp. Unhooked from the empty trailer back at the house and pulled forward about 20 ft before backing into the driveway.
What did I do with my Chevy Duramax transmission failure?
Back to drive and after a clunk, the check engine light came on. I was able to roll forward enough to get out of the street with throttle but it would barely move. Like the truck was stuck in 10th gear or something was slipping. Parked it in the neighbors yard and towed it the next morning.
What should the transmission temp be in a Duramax?
If you own a 2001-2004.5 LB7 Duramax your normal operating temperatures will run around 160-180 degrees. These transmissions will warm up when towing or driving in the summer months. 200-225 is very common when the ambient air temp is 80-100 degrees and your transmission is under an increased load.
What kind of transmission does 2020 Chevy 2500 have?
Against my better judgement of not purchasing first year model of anything with major changes, I bought a new 2020 Chevy 2500 HD with Allison 10 speed about a month ago. Loving it except for the fact that 1800 miles in, the truck would not move. Last week I had just launched my boat after a short 2 mile pull to the ramp.
