Does anyone know if this will be a sealed unit? Also, going from 6 to 10...I wonder what kind of fuel mileage and performance increase this may have. 

 

Here’s a picture of the six speed dipstick and here’s a picture of what I think may be the 10 speed dipstick in the TFL video.

I don't know for sure, but it looks exactly like the brown dipstick/cap on the new Freightliners (Allison 3000 series) I have at work!

Watch the cap at the 4:22 mark.  SAE 15w40.  They moved the oil fill cap up higher.  No trans dipstick.  I'm going with the trans being a "sealed" unit, so fluid level checks are made at a certain temp via under the truck.

The engine oil fill certainly isn't where it was on older Duramax diesels.

 

BTW- wild rumor:  I have been told that Ford's upcoming new 10 speed in the 2020 Super Duty is going to be same transmission.  Trying to get verification of that, not sure I believe it just yet.

Wouldn't be surprised as they already share the current light duty 10 spd.

Doubt it. Not certain, but only time they used an Allison with a gas motor was with the 8.1L. I have an 07 8.L truck with the Allison 6spd mated to it. I've been under a few 6.0l HDs and never saw an Allison so that's what I'm basing it off. Just tried a search to see what others but no information that descriptive was found.

You're correct, the 6.0 has never been made available with the Allison. Heck, even the Duramax in the vans still got the 4L80/ 6L90, at least for awhile.

I hope this transmission eventually becomes available for the gas motor as well.

 

New gas gets a 6 speed per Chevrolet so far.  Sounds like the 6L90 lives on a bit longer.

Yes it has!  The L96 is available with the Allison 1000 and 2200 transmissions in Freightliner van chassis and Fuso medium duty trucks.  But not in any GM trucks.

Wonder if the Ford Super Duty with the gas engine will get the 10 speed auto.

The Allison took so much power it was not offered with 6.0 was my understanding. I don’t see any reason not to offer the 10 speed with both gas and diesel and be done with it.

Might also have to do with the torque capability at the duty cycle required.

Ah yes. I probably should have specified the GM trucks. I guess I didn't know about the medium duty trucks. All our Freighliner M2's at work have either a Cummins 6.7 or a DD8 Detroit with Allison 2500's or 6-speed Eatons.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
