or you can try ordering a 2012 Isuzu NPR 4500HD torque converter, this is in one of my trucks and its rock solid, but it doesnt have the clutch system. so no lock up..

1.) How does the computer react to that? 2.) Same stall? 3.) How did you find that out?

PAO has an oxidation initiation temperature around 250 F. Seals go next and so on. This charts fluid numbers are for mineral oils. By the time you varnish a PAO the seals are in trouble.

Anybody read the white paper from SONNAX on the 6L80/90 torque converters?   https://www.sonnax.com/tech_resources/845-6l80-6l90-transmission-tech-advisory-consider-an-updated-converter-in-y

You don’t need to completely remove the pan to get the filter out. I did it by sliding it all the way to the passenger side which leaves enough room for the filter to come out. Sprayed and wiped out p

i have a 2012 NPR 4500HD with 6.0 and 6 speed.  it functions and drives better than my sierra 2500 HD same year and same driveline.

 the NPR never locks up, so it always slips,  and willl increase fuel consumption by 1-2mpg., one will probably have to to disable lock up functions in the software and , plug ports inside the pump housing? I would consult a pro builder with experience with NPR transmissions. 

I cant really say the stall speed is much higher, maybe 600 rpm more. as the sierra truck feels tighter, mind you the NPR has lower gearing in the diff

 

I need to play with my HPtuners and run datalogging on the NPR

I'm waiting :) I love learning more than doing I think. Or I love the results of learning and then doing. :dunno:

I did the transmission thermostat flip. We took my truck to Knoxville tonight. Ran around a little. We stopped by Chick-Fil-A and sat in line for a few minutes. The trans temp got up to 158*F while in line. That was the highest I saw during the whole trip. We live about 5 miles away from Chick, the temp dropped back down to 153*F before we got home. So it is cooling and maintaining pretty cool. I am pretty happy with that outcome so far. I'll still do my 15k mile one gallon transmission fluid change. It's cheap enough and easy enough and may help. It cannot hurt.

I would suggest always having the lock up, non-Lock up has benefits but lock up is best way. If your having to install a converter you should buy a better one TCI/Circle D etc. Just food for thought when a converter is not locked they build more heat then locked ( if the locked converter is working good) I can’t speak from a my truck on no-lockup vs lock up but I can on a few race/street cars and it’s a HUGE difference.

May be a dumb question... but... These transmissions were designed to run at 190-220ish degrees. The tolerances open up when it heats up and allows the fluid to lubricate everything. If it is colder the tolerances are tighter and would create premature wear. Right? Similar to getting an engine warm so you don't cold seize it. I am no transmission expert. Right now I am debating changing my own fluid and filter. I have warched the YouTube vids with the Y pipe in the way (sigh). Almost at 45k miles. I drove up mount Washington a few weeks ago and got the trans up to 230. I was a little nervous lol.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
