LOL. I was about to tell you no way if it were stock with a chip.

I'd start looking for a boost leak. There's not a bag over the intake is there? On edit: I bet there's a BIG boost leak.

BTS isn't the end-all, other guys can still build a transmission. Everything doesn't apply the same, but it's the same art. We're going to assume the transmission is fine... NO need to bash this guy for his decision, which is what this is setting up for.

I never said BTS was the end all. Im not bashing. Im just saying that just because they say they can build it doesnt mean they can. Seen it many times where guys who can build Performance gas transmissions and say they can build diesel transmissions and they dont hold up. You are right, might not be the trans, but we dont know what the problem is yet

Well, the -7psi shows an issue... I'm thinking when the engine tilted back from the trans removal, it either tore a boot apart, or it just pulled it loose.

Sorry if it seemed like I was being rude DD, but this doesnt look like a trans issue anymore, so maybe we'll just leave it out until it seems like it may point at the trans again.

just to be clear, posted on your other thread.........


OMG nnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo no one should ever buy a trans from Level 10 ! especially not for a diesel, they suck, use stock parts over, use sub par aftermarket junk...... they do not stand behind their products or honor warranties ! if you got time, get in line with the rest of the folks they screwed over and lawyer up ! do not let them get away with this.......... if you have facebook, post up the story, tweet it out....... whatever you can do get the word out and save the next guy. sorry about your troubles, but they have just begun.

He said that happened after washing the motor... I am guessing his gauges use a MAP sensor of some kind or the factory map...

Its the tranny... Stall speed... Stator...

Hope they get you taken care of, but I am not keeping my fingers crossed.

thankfully not me, but many have, dumped money at a trans "built" by them only to find out it was made with junk parts, level ten screwed many out of hard earned dollars. the cameras around the building are not for security against theft, they are there to protect against payback from irate customers. The last one that got toasted by my good friend had the tras removed from the truck while under video tape, and dissassembled while fully taped the entire time and even then level ten denied the trans was theirs, claimed that a switch was performed......... get real, that place needs to burn to the ground around the owner.
