What Tranny Does The 03 Have
 
What tranny does the 03 have? Also what are some good intakes.

Diesel Dawgs Performance 10-27-2007 06:58 PM

03 Dmax has the Allison Transmission. The most popular intakes are the AFE Kits or the Airaid Kits. Most people shine away from the K&N Intakes and Filters.

Diesel Dawgs Performance 11-30-2007 08:24 AM

mysterync 11-30-2007 08:50 AM

Luke!!!!! Come On Man!!!!!

hehehe

It has the 5spd Allison LCT1000! Its a very high quality tranny, but will only handle approx. 100HP over factory! These beast are expensive, Dont take a chance with one! ......Wait.......I make 500 on one in my work truck....and its stock.....


I dont recomend that, but it just goes to show how tough they are!

DangerousDuramax 11-30-2007 11:28 AM

At 500hp that stock tranny isnt going to last long. (Dont ask me how I know this) How many times have you limped it? :)

mysterync 11-30-2007 11:57 AM

About.....i dunno 50 :lol:
Its on its last legs, It hauls 18,000-19000lbs all day long! With a Mike L Seatrab Cooler on it it never see's over 150 Deg!

Its done great but last time I changed the filter it was full of peices !

I will say , it's not ran on higher levels but the charger still trys to blow right through it!

DangerousDuramax 11-30-2007 12:25 PM

If you would let Mike build it for ya you'll never have another problem again. :up:

mysterync 11-30-2007 01:13 PM

mysterync 12-02-2007 05:26 PM

Yeah but you wont get the additional mods that Mike does. :up:

Alli_Gator 12-02-2007 06:16 PM

Mike and his guys built my last trans. and did a bang up job. He is very capable with the Allison.

Very true, But I also have some great friends at suncoast :w2: ! Mike really dose some cool stuff! Dose anyone know if he got the new Cooler setup (to cool the what c3? clutches?)

Besides, This is just a work truck!

Alli_Gator 12-02-2007 07:06 PM

Yes he did, the kit is called Snake Oil and is fully available. He has installed one installed in one of my customers trucks along with a SCIV and a cooler.

:U: Casper is also running one.

DangerousDuramax 12-02-2007 08:46 PM

Well of course Kat. Capser is Mike's guinea pig. :up:

mysterync 12-02-2007 08:47 PM

Have you noticed reductions in temps? Looks like I need to call mike, havent talked to him in a while!

DangerousDuramax 12-02-2007 08:52 PM

Yes, you should see a temp reduction especially when towing. You might want o give Mike a call.

Kat 12-02-2007 08:58 PM

This is what McRat said about Casper when Mike tore him down. I think Pat was mistaken though. That converter did not have 70 passes on it. It was a lot less.

Hard parts, AOK. All are in reuseable condition.

C3 clutches show medium wear. No limping, no pockets, no delam, no warp.

Converter? Clutch hosed.

I would say the C3 Oiler probably helped since this trans was often hot-lapped, and had been burned-down at the staging lights by some trucks, but the wear was what I'd consider to normal for a 500HP truck after a year of racing.


DangerousDuramax 12-02-2007 09:03 PM

I remember that post. That was definitely good news and showed that Mikes mod was working. :up:

nova2only350 10-27-2008 03:59 PM

so would it be ok to put a banks six gun on a stock allsion?

Oilfield_Mafia 10-27-2008 04:08 PM

Well sure it would, but I wouldn't run it on Kill mode all the time if you drive hard. Always run it in a tow tune when towing, let the trans re-learn when going up in tunes, and start saving for a trans if you have a heavy right foot. :U: Something that will help prolong your trans lifespan is a trango shift kit. Quite inexpensive too. But nothing is like having an aftermarket trans.:5:
