Replying to: gmboy1 (Sep 25, 2005 2:08 pm) The fluid amounts as stated in the Service Manual are: "Fill after rebuild, 12.7 qts." and "Fill after fluid and filter change, 7.4 qts." Don't know why the discrepancy. You might double check the level being sure to use the procedure as stated in the Owners Manual. Kinda complicated.   Curious about the internal filter you mentioned. Can't find anything about it in the S.M. Is that its official name?   BTY - If there's an Allison dealer near by, you can get those spin-on filters for about $9.00.   -David Replies to this message: gmboy1 (Sep 27, 2005 9:29 am) gmboy1 (Sep 28, 2005 7:19 am) noobie1 (Sep 30, 2005 6:15 pm) gmboy1 (Oct 02, 2005 6:55 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: noobie1 (Sep 25, 2005 5:19 pm) Actually I had my neighbor get it for $8.00; GM wants $24.00. The discrepancy maybe due to the pan being off and the external filter off at the same time, It may have lost some from the Torque converter, which is fine with me. But again, it took 9.75 quarts to hit the middle of the HOT mark. The truck was on level ground. The internal filter is similar to most internal filters, GM Part Number is: 29537965. I am just anal when it comes to maintenance, even preventative, I change oil and filter every 3,000, the external trans every 6,000, the fuel filter every 15,000. I would rather send a little money now than get stuck on the road somewhere. It's cheap insurance.                                                            Bob

Replying to: mailman2 (Sep 14, 2005 5:24 pm) You probably have an answer to this, but I own a 2000 1500 w/5.3. All I do when I change the filter is to loosen the fittings and let the pressure bleed off, then R & R the filter.

Replying to: noobie1 (Sep 25, 2005 5:19 pm) Dave,    Where did you find the capacities for the trans, I looked all through my owners book and the supplement for the Diesel and did not find it. Just curious ?                                 Thanks,                                             Bob Replies to this message: noobie1 (Sep 30, 2005 6:15 pm) gmboy1 (Oct 02, 2005 6:55 pm) noobie1 (Oct 07, 2005 5:08 pm)
#1173 of 1492 abs light by leggett Sep 28, 2005 (9:30 pm)
99 GMC Sierra- On initial start up, I get a red brake light and ABS light on instrument panel. Brakes appear to be working normally and can reset the lights by cycling the ignition switch w/ engine running. The dealer offered to repair for 1,000 dols- i declined and was able to determine the fault code from the scan tool was 0265 -"EBCM relay circuit open." Does this really require the replacement of the entire electro-hydraulic control unit- since i have found i cant just replace the EBCM? Or is there another fix i can attempt since it's a "relay circuit open"? What kind of job is it to replace the EHCU if i have to go that route? T

Replying to: gmboy1 (Sep 28, 2005 7:19 am) Bob,       You might be confusing the Owner's Manual with the Shop Manual. I bought the five volume Shop Manual when I bought my truck. In checking the Owner's Manual I couldn't find it there either. If you get hold of a S.M. it's in two places: Under "Maintenance and Lubrication", Page 0-39, and "Automatic Transmission - Allison", Page 7-676.  You sound like a kindred spirit on maintenance. But I have to confess falling down on the job lately (time). Still, I seldom ever go 4K between oil changes. Thanks for the info.   -David   BTY- In case you're interested, here's the source for the Shop Manual for your truck. You sound like a prime candidate. Worth every penny.   http://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=&Mfg=GMC&Make=GMC&Model=SIER&Year=2003&Catego- - - - - ry=1&Keyword=&Module=&mscsid=TNA8LH649SMA9M63K3X3RBT5QT4B9L9D Replies to this message: gmboy1 (Oct 02, 2005 6:55 pm) noobie1 (Oct 07, 2005 5:08 pm)
#1175 of 1492 fuel filter by jlopez Sep 30, 2005 (9:57 pm)
How do I replace the fuel filter in my 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 pickup with a 5.3 liter engine. I can't seem to find where the fuel filter is and I am wondering what tools I will need. The owner's manuel has not mention as to where the fuel filter is and how to change it. Replies to this message: carp2 (Oct 01, 2005 7:00 pm)

Replying to: jlopez (Sep 30, 2005 9:57 pm) the fuel filter is right under the drivers side door. it is tucked up inside the frame. all you need for tools is a 15mm or 17mm wrench i think its been a month or so since i changed mine. its easier to see if you look from the passenger side first under the door and look across to the drivers side. its in the frame. good luck
#1177 of 1492 2002 GMC DuraMax w/ Allison by gmboy1 Oct 02, 2005 (6:16 pm)
Problem: When you put the truck in reverse while the car is running or not, the starter engages. Anyone aware of this problem or the solution? Maybe the neutral safety wiring the trans shift linkage? Any feedback would be helpful.                                                     Thanks,                                                          Bob Replies to this message: weels (Oct 03, 2005 6:38 pm)
