I just put a new trans (Allison) in my buddies 2004 Chevy HD 4X4.
Does anyone know how much fluid this thing holds? I already have 12 qts in it and it's still WAY low on the dipstick. Title edit...truck won't move.  |

I put an Allison in a Duramax truck two weeks ago and it took 17qts. IIRC.

Amsoil has a great "fluid capacity" website. http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage
They list the Allison 1000 as taken less fluid than a 4L80-E, which I know is bullshit. I just keep adding until it reached the full mark, when they're brand new you'll be amazed how much fluid they take. I installed a rebuilt 700R4 years ago, with a deep pan from B&M, it took 17.5 quarts. |

well shit.
After dumping 17 qts in this thing the dipstick says its full and the damn thing wont move. When you put it in rev it "clunks" like its in gear but will not move. When you put it in drive it "clunks and barely moves. I don't know how the hell I got myself into this project to begin with. |

I have never torn into an allison but from what I have read it is fairly simple. What was wrong with it in the first place? Did he upgrade for HP reasons? Did he upgrade to the 05+ allisons with the 6th speed? |

He upgraded because he got a new EFI live tuner and didn't want to junk the old trans. He did not get the 6 spd upgrade. We also did the T case pump rub upgrade while we had it out. |

I want to upgrade to the 6spd in the near future. I dont run a lot of hp (around 100hp with the edge) so I dont need a full blown transmission upgrade. |

W got a Harbor Freight tranny jack and I tell you it was worth it's weight in gold. Have you done the pump rub upgrade in your transfer yet? That was about a 15 minute job with it already out of the truck. |
