GM Allison Transmission Service

[@seanfaulk2405]

Absolutely the best Allison transmission service video on KZbin. No talking, No product sales, just how to do the service. Thank you for this.

Excellent how-to video, probably the best I have seen. Thanks for the help!

[@MrSubaru1387]

You're welcome 👍🏻

[@CharlesinGA]

Excellent video. No music, no irrelevant BS, no stupid drunken banter, etc, just a proper, NO HACK process for doing the job, including the use of the torque wrench. Thank You. Later Allisons may be serviced with Allison Transynd TES 295. Need to check your owners manual to see what the transmission is supposed to be serviced with.

[@MrSubaru1387]

You're welcome. 👍🏻

[@mrmotofy]

Just an FYI apparently there was a transmission vent leak on many allison trans applications. They will blow fluid out the vent on the back top of housing on the left side. It's from a little design flaw or poor communication from Allison and the other manufacturers. The dipstick tubes need a vent, or remove the vent on the trans and extend it up higher at firewall etc. Possibly work to drill a hole in dipstick tube. Apparently there's TSB on it and random info in a search.

Thanks for saving me $411. Some brothers that rhyme with "Sebastion" wanted to hose me over on this service.

[@StarHunter28]

I heard you're supposed to check it in neutral because park uses pressure while running

[@rickcannon3845]

Always like to put the jack stands up front on Chevy trucks under the sway bar

[@20083500HD]

thank you for no silly back ground music or talking....however I thought the internal filter dont need to be changed unless doing a rebuild

[@DrumPeearl]

Thanks for this great video! Can I tell if my transmission fluid needs to be changed just with the color on the dip stick ? I bought the truck with 88 000 miles about 20 000 miles ago (1 year and half) and I know it has been super well maintained.

[@arielhamm309]

Perfect!!!

[@edwardcarberry1095]

I prefered to drive the front onto 6x6" blocks saves lifting The trans oil from Allison is recommend. The one site said to put your foot on the brake and cycyle through the gears, as it drains more of the oil while still keeping the torque converter full.

Jack stand in the dirt is skeeeetch

[@benzw2505]

Yeah, both of my Dmax's have plenty room without jack or stands. And I have actually had a Camaro fall on top of me due to jack stands in dirt, not safe at all.! Shake test, jump test no matter, and you didn't see blocks behind the tires either.

[@MrSubaru1387]

This dirt is driven over daily with tractors, farm equipment, big trucks. It's extremely compacted. Never had an issue. I put 12,000lb+ tractors on jackstands out here without issue.

[@benzw2505]

@@MrSubaru1387 That's what I thought too, until I accidentally hit the shift lever and the car came off the stands pinning me under the car. Luckily a buddy was nearby or I wouldn't be here today. Just be safe is all.

[@benzw2505]

@@MrSubaru1387 I also know a guy that saved his buddy's life. They had jack a stand let go while doing exhaust work on pavement. The stud of the exhaust clamp punched a hole in his skull above his eye pinning him under the car until my friends dad could get the car off him, he was pretty messed up for a while. Be safe, always double triple check before getting under any vehicle. I no longer use Jack's stands to get under a vehicle, I use chunks of rail road ties & have a couple nice solid oak chunks to use.

[@mk7_nate970]

How many quarts of fluid does it take ?

[@michellejohn695]

Nice video.Why do you not pre-fill the filter?How often do you change the filter?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Filter and fluid is supposed to be changed every 50k miles.

External filter every 20,000km, trans fluid every 80,000km.

What a great video and info...I'm new to having a Duramax/Allison combo and this helped me a lot! Thank you!!

[@falcorthewonderdog2758]

Allison trans have two filters. The spin on filter change interval is 30k miles. The internal filter change interval is 100k or during overhaul. Allison contracted with Castrol to develope TransSynd 668 ultimate synthetic atf for Allison transmissions. It's service life is 300k miles compared to dex3 or dex6 trans fluid 30k or 100k intervals respectively.

[@lanemcreynolds9894]

my Lb7 has 165,608 miles, i just bought it and i changed the spin off filter and its purple ? so i need to do this to my truck soon, it doesnt smell burnt ... and for 50,000 miles service, does that mean you have to go that every 50,000 limes ?

[@tekman196]

Nice video ! I’m a little confused though? Everywhere that I’m reading it says not to use the dextron? Use either the Mobil 1 delvac or the transynd. I’m even seeing the Castrol trans max . Mine is a 2007 Allison 1000 .

[@clydeespinosa6286]

Thanks the shop quotes over 300 I think I’ll do it myself save money and have some leftover for a nice torque wrench like that

[@sirsweetness8332]

Is it true that on an Allison trans, that the fluid should be checked while in neutral due to getting a false reading from transmission back pressure? Several videos show the neutral checking level.

[@ericmartinez5633]

yeah put ebrake on and chaulk back tires. check fluid in neutral and it should be in between the hash marks.

[@BW-kv9wj]

I wouldn’t go 50,000 more miles. Do it every 25,000, use Amsoil synthetic ATF and use a PPE red larger Allison filter. Try the PPE trans pan. Will add 4 quarts to your trans. Do all these things and your trans will last a million miles plus.

[@GrandPrix46]

That's a good way to waste a lot of money. He doesn't need a deep pan, and if he did he could get an Allison deep pan for a fraction of the cost of a PPE one. The Allison filter works just fine and is about half the price of a PPE filter, too. If he was working the truck hard it might be worth switching it to Transynd/Mobil Delvac 1, but otherwise the Dex III recommended for it (or Dex VI depending on serial #) will also be fine. These transmissions are bulletproof until you start upping the power, and at that point no fluid, pan, or filter will be able to keep it alive. At stock power it'll already last the life of the truck with regular maintenance.

[@gssxxsmith]

Compliments to the mech. Dude knows how to make a how-to. Solid. Thank you.

[@chriscaerbajal455]

Bro awesome video!! Right to the m#$%fng point!!! New subscriber here!!

[@holdingstrong8686]

On my 2007 GMC Sierra 2500, the manual says the operating temperature is between 185 and 210, but your video didn't show the temperature up that high. I also tried to drive to get the temperature up that high, and it only got to about 150 after over 1 hour of driving. I'm not sure what to go by.

[@patrickofiara2157]

A temp of 185 to 210 are the exact specs of your engine coolant temperatures, ome thermostat opens at 185 the 2nd opens at 210. The manual calls for the transmission to be 100 degrees above ambient air temperature outside. Like MrSubaru said just drive 20-30 minutes and you are good to go!

[@dustinryan9671]

I am getting ready to change out filter and fluid on my LBZ Duramax. I do both once a year or every other oil change. I went on Allison's website to see the interval to change out the pan filter. Allison says to change pan filer only during overhaul so i never mess with it.

[@JW-mz1fp]

it is not necessary to change the internal filter every time .??

[@diver1967]

Nice how to video! A point to note though, according to Allison service recommendations, the sump filter should only be replaced at transmission overhaul.

[@geneduclos4003]

Oh! One more thing. Thanks for the links to the tools & parts you used... big time help.

[@MrSubaru1387]

[@raymi9856]

The shop we took our RV to overfilled out Allison transmission 1000. What’s the best way to get some fluid out of there? Is there a fill plug that I can pump some oil out of? Or would it be okay to use the drain plug?

[@MrSubaru1387]

I'd loosen the drain, you hand/arm might get soaked, but that's the fastest way. Just hold the plug to the hole, pull it down and back up quickly.
