I truly enjoy the videos and info you share to all of us. No lame music and talking just to hear yourself talk. There should be a go fund me page for you so you can get a concrete or asphalt slab put down, no more laying on gravel .
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.
Nice how to video! A point to note though, according to Allison service recommendations, the sump filter should only be replaced at transmission overhaul.
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.
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.

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 .
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.
Thanks for the video. Now got to crawl under my truck and do the same. Just wish it was as clean as yours under there! Looks a lot simpler than I was expecting. I will say it is only a two beer job.
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.
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 ?
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.
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!
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.

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?
Wow, just did this and drained out 11 L+ of fluid...only bought 2 gal of ATF as thought based on this it would take around 7...should i be worried? 01 2500hd with 5spd allison and 8.1L gas?
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
Good video, however the Snap-on torque wrench probably cost 4 times the whole transmission fluid change. Excellent video though 👍. Simple, straight forward and easy. Well done
Well if you use it alot that wrench pays for itsself. If you work on stuff for a living you quickly find out buying junk tools only puts you further behind.
@@calabschultz9648 Just because it's not Snap-on, doesn't mean it's junk. I don't know where this perception or use of phrase comes from. You know there are other good tools out there right? It's not just Snap-on and then everything else is junk. I've had a Craftsman set for over 20 years. I just rebuilt the whole front end of my 2500HD using non Snap-on.....no problem. When I was in the Navy working on jets and helicopters we didn't have Snap-on. I know they are nice tools but unless you are an everyday mechanic, (which you still don't "need") I see no reason to fork out that insane amount of money. Seriously, how many socket wrenchs' would you have to break in your life before Snap-on started paying for itself? 7...8? And I've only broken one so far and it was fixed for free. If you have the money and that's what you want to spend it on, well that's your choice. Please don't take this comment as sarcastic or demeaning or negative. This is just my thoughts now after having used tools for almost 30 years. Have a good one and good luck either way. And watch those knuckles 🤝
StriveFor Selflessness What I’m saying for a tech Snap on Mac and Matco typically work better fo using every day. The tools guy comes around once or twice a week and if you need a replacement sooner I can call and my snap on or mac guy and they will come same day. Not all of my tools are snap on and Mac. But the ones I use daily and need to rely on are. If you have ever done torque sequencing on some of these import motors where torque has to be done in steps. That electronic snap on torque wrench is really where it’s at. I have one and use it daily
@@csaleen302 Oh for sure, sometimes there are special tools that you absolutely need to get the job done and done right. I was more referring to the common tools. Sockets, wrenches etc. You can get the vast majority of tasks done with regular ol' tools. There is definitely something to be said for having the right tool for the job though.
Absolutely the best Allison transmission service video on CZcams. No talking, No product sales, just how to do the service. Thank you for this.
And no stupid over bearing music
Awesome to see a good video without all the babbling! 👍👍
Thanks!
Great video without “what’s up guys?” Nice job!
This is a really good good video. Don't need anything else to make it perfect. Great job.
Thank you for posting this. It works well without an audio narration, concise and to the point with the text!
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Excellent video I just bought my first GMC Duramax it’s a 2002 and I’m looking forward to doing some of the maintenance myself thank you sir

Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Nice tools... Snap-On digital torque wrench.
Nice how to video! A point to note though, according to Allison service recommendations, the sump filter should only be replaced at transmission overhaul.

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

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
Thank you for the video You just saved me $499
Will be doing a video on this service on my 2016 Duramax; doing research at the moment; fantastic video to use as a baseline 👍

I have to agree with the rest of the comments, great no nonsense tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for saving me $411. Some brothers that rhyme with "Sebastion" wanted to hose me over on this service.

The fluid you changed was so clean!
Good video, is there a reason you didn’t take off the external filter then take the drain plug out?
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.

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 ?
I have a 07 lbz have you done a Nsbu switch mines internal instead of outside out transmission
This is how videos should be! Awesome content
Thanks a bunch, straight forward, pretty simple!
The link doesn't show the price for that dandy SnapOn torque wrench. ;)
I liked the video as most did. Just do it! Simple to the point. Keep making videos we have the same truck. Thank you
it is not necessary to change the internal filter every time .??
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
Great video, seriously. Is this what you recommend for any of the early 6.6 duramax? Like for an 07 LBZ?
Awesome video. Does anyone know where I can find an online service manual for the GMC Sierra HD2500 series SLE with the 6.6L dual turbo Duramax? 🙇🏽♀️
Great video! Thanks!
Can u make a video explain oil pressure in the same vehicle , thanks
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.

I read that Castrol Synguard is a recommended ATF for this transmission. Have you tried it?
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.
yeah put ebrake on and chaulk back tires. check fluid in neutral and it should be in between the hash marks.
It's the best video ever! Thanks, I'm going to try it this weekend..
never mind thanks. for sharing that

Only thing that would make it better, that I know of, would be to mention socket sizes-save a trip under the truck to find out....
I had a international box truck and my Allison transmission is leaking just when is hot ,do you think I need to replace the gasket???

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.

Was running and shifting fine, but figured it was time to change, and glad i did as fluid looked dirty

Filter and fluid is supposed to be changed every 50k miles.
External filter every 20,000km, trans fluid every 80,000km.
