somethings wrong with the chevy ...

he should've smoked you stock ...

1) take programmer off try again ...

2) check ALL filters ... air and fuel

3) check all intercooler boots ...

etc ...

The injector was only on the LB7 motors. Run the codes and see if it tripped anything. More than likely it did. Change the fuel filter and change both tranny filters. Did the truck run ok after he unloaded it?

Check the codes you may have gotten thrown into limp mode. pull the programer off and see what happens too.

If you work on them all the time then you should know that a PPE Hot program will send any stock tranny into limp mode. You have to keep the power settings under the 120 to 135 hp tunes. Anything over that and you are going to cook a stock tranny. We rebuilt one a week and have seen first hand what a PPE program will do to a stock tranny. We had to pry the C1 clutch packs a steels off of the shaft. It had gotten so hot it warpped the steels. The motor will take the abuse but a stock tranny will not. They do not have the fluid and pressure. And ofcoarse they do not have the TQ and extra clutches to hold the pressure. We have pushed a stock Duramax engine to 730hp spraying NOS with a stock turbo. We upgraded the turbo and tranny a little bit and got 708hp on diesel only and bent a connecting rod. The engines are pretty tough. If I ever go get another diesel it will be the duramax/allison.

Probly had it on too big of a tune. Put it on 40 horse tune and try again. If that doesnt work take it off and try again.
But before that change filters.

Or you could get a Custom tune and be done with it???

If you towed alot, i wouldnt put anything over a extra 75hp with a stock trans and converter... but thats just me...

Depends how heavy you tow. I wouldnt do more than 40 for stock trans and the 10k i pull.

I like to go fast pulling but i still want my trans to last a while.

any of the guys who bash the duramax engine are up there a$$. they all have loud rattly cummins or powerstrokes that arent even as powerful as the duramax, and they get worse mileage
