Duramax LMM Knocking Pt.4: Suncoast Diesel 1800-Low-Stall Converter & Billet Flex-plate Installation

2009 Duramax LMM Knocking Series Pt.4 Featuring Suncoast Diesel 1800 RPM-Low-Stall 3D Torque Converter & Billet Flex-plate Installation.
Injector Knock or Cracked Flex-Plate Diagnosis Series featuring my 2009 Chevrolet Duramax LMM Dually. Stay tuned for Pt.5 where we re-install the Allison Transmission and subsequent parts. I choose the Suncoast Diesel Performance 1800 RPM Low-Stall Velocity Triple Disc Billet 3D Torque Converter and Suncoast Diesel Billet Counter-Balanced Flex-plate. #Suncoastdiesel #allisontransmission #duramaxknock
With changing to a 1800 RPM Low Stall performance stator from the OEM's 2200 RPM stator I hope to see a fuel mileage improvement, which could pay for itself over the next 100k miles as I drive across North America racing superbikes and enjoying dirtbike nomad adventures.
Vehicle currently has 59,900 miles. Knocking started intermittent 4 months earlier in August at 57500 miles. Truck runs and drives great with no smoke once up to temperature.

I just recently changed the torque converter on my 04 gmc lb7.
Used the same flex plate. I used a dmax store brand torque converter to try and save a few bucks.
The ARP flex plate bolts are 100lbs plus 70°
Lot easier to do when laying on the driveway.
Or 210lbs if not using the 100lbs plus 70

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Dame that was tuff on me just watching the poor guy torque that up.

[@HotGritz910]

Is the tq on that flex plate really like that??? You cant do that at home especially on a c4500 kodiak version.. you would most definitely have to take that to a shop.

[@albertorodeos497]

those bolts are one time use

[@CheapRidesAutoSales]

Never said the torque value of second 60.

[@chuckswitzer5961]

What was the final torque on the flywheel

[@jerrodriley4290]

There is not Teflon tape in oil fittings.. they are certain styles of fitting that have seats or thread designs that don't leak. Also, that's not am oil drain it's a block plug and that is not your oil pump that the filter screws on to lol that's the oil filter housing and oil cooler.. oil pumps are inside engines dawg.

[@irnieracing]

Great 👍 thx for the comment

[@turbosupra2jzdragracingtob249]

Internal oil cooler gasket leak?

[@chazgeisler6213]

How do you like the stall you got?

[@irnieracing]

It's not really noticeable from stock. I always run tow mode as to not be running higher rpms vs. movement forward

[@chazgeisler6213]

And just to make sure, it was the low stall option? Or the stock stall?

[@irnieracing]

@@chazgeisler6213 low stall yup

[@robertpierce9385]

Called injector knock

[@dww527]

So is it fixed? The suspense is killing me, lol

[@dww527]

I can't wait, hearts don't cut it.

[@irnieracing]

@@dww527 wooo ahaha the next 3 episodes are on my patreon.com/irnieracing channel
