I thought I would jump back in and post what I did to fix this issue. I bought a Fleece Performance Tap Shifter, installed it and took it to my local dealer and had them reflash my TCM so that my tap shifter would work. My build date required the reflash. Bingo, dead pedal is fixed!

Let me just say that I am a tire whore and that I sell tires as a side business. Since I have had my 2 duramaxes, one thing has shown up for sure, some tires don't last. When I first bought my truck (2002 CCSB DA) I bought a new set of the just released BFG KO's in 265/75/16E, worst tire I have...

I went on a road trip fishing in Canada last week and about 500 miles into the trip, my truck started smoking grey smoke very heavy at idle and noticeable at all rpm ranges. I added 40 oz of power service grey bottle diesel kleene and kept trucking towing my 16.5 foot boat. The smoke was there...

Redline has a oil that is perfect for the nvg 4500, ran it for 200k with no issues.

A lot of time the noise in nuetral can be traced to the clutch disc either being the wrong one or having the damper in the center of the disc worn out. If the disc doesn't have the damper in the center, it is the wrong part. The damper is a nylon part that allows the disc to absorb harmonics and...

Did another experiment with the scan tool. This time I listed the truck as a 2001 instead of a 02 and the torque readings when logged into the tcm matched the readings from the 01 truck. The 48315 number still came up, but only after quickly releasing the gas pedal. So, I don't think this is the...

The water will always settle to the bottom, so if you can keep from pumping from the bottom it shouldn't be an issue. With my processor, the bottom is a cone and any water will collect there and can be easily drained off. The centrifuge also removes small amounts of water from the oil. I am done...

If the inside of the engine is black, at some point and time the wrong oil was used in the engine. Use the kerosene or even diesel fuel and just let the engine idle for 15 to 30 minutes then change the oil. Make sure to use a good diesel grade oil, it will keep the gunk in suspension instead of...

If I was going to replace Dexcool, the last thing that would go back would be green anti freeze! I have a 55 gallon drum of Chevron Extended life antifreeze in the shop that was oem fill in many CAT applications, it is red in color and is pre-mixed, there are also other good extended life anti...

OK, just did a test. Hooked up the Genysis scan tool and data logged the TCM: Torque requested: 0 Engine Torque at idle: 48315 Driver requested engine torque: 48315 Requested torque always stayed at 0. As soon as I started leaning on the gas pedal, torque dropped from the 48315 down...

I am not sure if it has anything to do with the PPE tuner or not. When I data logged it, I used a OTC Genysis Scan tool. I guess I should scan it again and write down the chart that was off the wall. What I don't like is one time I can get a dead pedal and the next time I can put the 500 hp to...

Good reason to not cut the wire I guess. Any guess on why the data log would show 30,000+ on the torque and the number doesn't change, just stays there?

I am not running efi live as of yet. I am runnng a ppe hot + 2 et. Last week I took a little stroll down a 4wd road up in the national forest and used 4 low do to all the rocks around just so I could go slow. Driving along and I noticed the dead pedal, would only rev to 15-1800 rpms and wouldn't...

I don't think the wire that was talked about was for the ecm, I think it was a wire from the transfercase loom that was a signal telling the ecm truck was in low range. I have also heard about people engaging low range and then pulling the plug from the transfer case and making their pull. Would...

My 02 duramax sometimes gets a dead pedal in low range. It only does it in low range. Sometimes letting off completely on the pedal and it will work normal. Sometimes the transmission won't shift out of 1st gear and then only will rev to about 2000 rpms and dead pedal. Let off the throttle, and...

Those videos bring back memories. In the early 90's I was pulling with a K-30 chevy with a nvg 4500 and a 6.5 with a rajay non wastegated turbo. In two pulls I got beat by a built 454 suburban by less than 10 feet and my guess was the difference was the 454 had a turbo 400 and I had a manual and...

FYI, I built a processor for wvo or wmo. It consists of a 55 gallon drum that has the bottom cut off and a sheet metal cone welded on. It sits on 3 angle iron legs. At the bottom of the cone is a 3/4 inch pipe thread coupler and up about 10 inches on the cone is another 3/4 inch coupler. I took...

Keep in mind that you will need a bell housing from a diesel, a diesel flywheel and clutch and I would recommend a diesel radiator and you will also need the oil cooler lines that go to the radiator. Easy swap other than this.

Personally, I would use the stock location and keep 1/2 size lines. To clear the clutch linkage, you could use some aeroquip fittings or equivilent and thread the fittings into the stock locations. The aeroquip style fittings use 2 wire hydraulic hose and the fittings can be reused and screw...

What about the powertrain control module? As far as swaps go, this is about as easy as they come, because it is all plug and play. But I agree he needs to find a donor vehicle. It looks like I might get talked into doing the swap.
