This kit makes it possible to eliminate the dreaded transmission slip and (Fail Safe) condition that plagues the Allison Transmission. The Co-Pilot kit allows the transmission’s clutch packs to receive full line pressure (clamping force needed to apply clutches) during slip situations. The stock Allison LCT-1000/2000 and 2400 transmission’s torque capacity has been reduced by the limited pressure that is available in the clutch packs. The stock Allison transmission only receives approximately 86-PSI oil pressure to the clutch packs when in 5th gear.

ATS Diesel Duramax Co-Pilot

After the addition of the Co-Pilot control system the ATS Diesel Transmission clutch packs receive approximately 230-PSI, more than 2.5 times the stock pressure. By allowing the available line pressure to the clutch packs, we have designed a system that increases the torque capacity of the stock Allison Transmission with the simple addition of our Co-Pilot transmission kit. This removes the concern of excessive pressure on vital transmission parts such as delivery rings, drums, shafts, etc. during normal operation. Other valve body kits being sold today (TransGo) perform this hydraulically, only after the trim valve have completed the shift inside the valve bodies.

The problems with these hydraulic kits lie in two areas. The first is the lack of ability to anticipate a shift. This causes the clutches to endure an excessive amount of slip, causing heat during the shift and eventually glazes the shifting clutch packs. The other problem with these mechanical kits is the valves supply full line pressure to the delivery rings in the Allison Transmission at all times. This constant high pressure causes excessive wear in the transmission. ATS Diesel have spent a great amount of time in the engineering and development of this kit to ensure long transmission life and increased durability.

If the Co-Pilot kit is installed into ATS Diesel Transmissions that has been pushed into the fail-safe protection mode the effect the CoPilot will have on the transmission is not as apparent as when installed on a fresh transmission that has not been previously damaged. After the C-3 (3rd-5th) clutch pack has been glazed a few times the clutch pack looses about 20% of its holding force, in this case a complete ATS Heavy Duty Transmission package or heavy duty clutch kit may be necessary to repair the previously damaged components inside the Allison LCT-1000 Transmission.

Duramax 6.6L Valve Lash Adjustment

Duramax 6.6L Valve Adjustment Duramax Diesel Pickup Truck This is one method used to set the valve lash on your duramax engine Valve adjustment should be performed anytime the heads are removed. It's also good practice to adjust valves during service that require valve cover remove. TDC (Top Dead Center) First start with, locating the timing mark on the front engine cover and the harmonic balance. Rotate the crankshaft in order to bring the number 1 cylinder to TDC (Top Dead Center) of the exhaust stroke. This mark should be aligned with the mark on the engine. To adjust the valves, start by loosening all the jam nuts with a 14mm wrench, you will also need a flat screwdriver to make the adjustments. Adjust the valve using a .012" feeler gauge Use your .012” feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge as pictured. The correct setting is had when there is slight resistance when moving the feeler gauge. It should not be so tight th

Duramax Glow Plugs Operation Glow Plug Relay

Cold Weather Starts and Glow Plugs Glow Plug System Description Duramax diesel engine, air alone is compressed in the cylinder. Then, after the air has been compressed, a charge of fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and ignition occurs, due to the heat of compression. Eight glow plugs are used as an aid to starting. The glow plug initial ON time will vary based on the system voltage and temperature. Lower temperatures cause longer ON times all the times. The ECM provides glow plug operation after starting a cold engine. This post-start operation is initiated when the ignition switch is returned to Run, from the Start position. This operation helps clean up excessive white smoke or poor idle quality after starting. Control of the instant start system, glow plugs is determine by an electronic glow plug control unit and 4.7 volt glow plugs, requiring 2 seconds to heat up to 1,000°C (1,832°F) . The temperature and t

How to Remove LB7 Duramax Fuel Injectors Step By Step Instructions

LB7 Duramax Diesel 6.6L R&R Remove and Replace Working on any automobile engine can be intimidating, and that is the very reason why mechanics stay in business, However some tasks that seem intimidating are not actually that difficult if you have the right tools and the right knowledge to complete the task at hand, The following instructions are on how to remove LB7 Duramax Fuel Injectors. This task is often considered a difficult process to complete, but these instructions will break down the process and make this task seem simple. Duramax Diesel LB7 Engine 2001-2004 GMC or Chevrolet Pick-up Truck Drain the Coolant find the drain valve on the passenger side of the wheel well and drain the coolant. To capture the debris,use a bucket and a cloth for a filter. Caution: This step is very important to ensure the combustion chamber won't fill with coolant during the last step of removing the fuel injectors if an injector cup pull out during this step.
