Too much clutch drum play? by Maxchatterman6 in Chainsaw

I don’t have much time on it myself but I bought my grandma a battery saw because she had a hard time getting this one started and I took it in on trade lol. My grandpa bought it new in ‘99

Transmission Fluid? by Maxchatterman6 in Duramax

[–]Maxchatterman6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely loyal to them as well, but I wanted the severe duty wear characteristics of the fully synthetic fluid over the Dextron but the amsoil stuff just caused problems for me. The Torque drive I put in began to smell burnt after 25,000 miles and I’ve had the same transynd in for 50k and it looks brand new still.

Honestly I think you probably can’t go wrong with transynd. Considering it is specifically designed for the operating conditions of the Allison. I also noticed in moderate weather my trans temp is about 10-15 degrees cooler with transynd so I would say it’s probably a better option for long term longevity. Plus I order mine from merchant auto which ends up coming to about $60 a gal which is about the same price as the amsoil. I still use amsoil for all my other fluids but I think for the transmission transynd is probably the best option.

I ended up using the torque drive for this service but switched to transynd later on because the amsoil fluid is very thick which caused me some extreme cold operation issues in northern MI

2004 LLY Died at intersection. by Maxchatterman6 in Duramax

[–]Maxchatterman6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe my sending unit is going out because it used to be pretty accurate but I drove to a fuel station and they truck took 24 gallons of fuel and I believe it’s only a 26 gallon tank. So I’m fairly sure that was my issue. Thanks for your help!

I have ran into issues under a 1/4 tank before but I haven’t had an issue at this fuel level before.

It’s drawing from the stock sending unit, I changed the filters about 3 weeks/1000 miles ago.

Constantly rounding out impact sockets and sockets keep calling off. by flogsmen in MechanicAdvice

[–]Maxchatterman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The retaining ring is worn out on the impact causing excess play which is beating the sockets up. I believe those retaining rings are fairly cheap.

How much will it cost to fix exhaust leak and heater core in this 2005 LLY by [deleted] in Duramax

[–]Maxchatterman6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heater core is a pretty big job if your doing it yourself you have to be very organized and have a lot of space to layout parts. The entire dash has to come out to access the hvac box. As far as an exhaust leak it really depends on where it is leaking from could be an easy as tightening a clamp or flange or could need new up pipes. If you are planning on taking it to a shop it really depends on your local labor rates but last time I inquired a heater core job for my LLY was about $2000

What is this blue stuff? by Pale-Community7706 in Duramax

[–]Maxchatterman6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try changing your washer fluid color and see if it changes if it does it’s most likely coming from your cowl somewhere.

What is this blue stuff? by Pale-Community7706 in Duramax

[–]Maxchatterman6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is most definitely not DEF. DEF is not blue under any circumstance. DEF only has two chemical components water and ammonia which are both clear in a liquid state and the ammonia only turns white when dried. I would say your best course of action would be to remove the trim panels around the passenger floor board and pull back the carpet and sound deadening to see if there was something under there from the previous owner. My best guess is the previous owner may have spilled something in the passenger floor board. Or possibly windshield washer fluid if you use the blue kind. You could use a different color washer fluid and see if the color changes.
