Note: Please refer to the Banks

Kit, owners Manual for software
installation and operation instruction
before beginning Section 6, Automatic
transmission Learning
The 6.6L Chevy Duramax Trucks
equipped with the Allison 1000 6-speed
automatic overdrive transmission use
an adaptive shift control logic. This will
require the transmission to adapt to
the additional power created by the
Banks Power products before it will
shift properly. Failure to follow the
sequence can result in damage to the
transmission.
Perform the following sequence at a
location where it is safe to accelerate
without exceeding the posted speed
limit.
1.
Set Six-Gun to level one power
setting, start the truck and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
2.
Adjust Six-Gun to level two, power
setting.
3.
Drive vehicle for 5 to 10 miles ensuring
a complete shift cycle though each gear.
(The transmission shift adaptation learning
process requires 15 to 30 complete shift
cycles to learn new shift program.)
4.
Increase power level by one and
repeat Step 3 until the desired power
level is achieved.
WARNING: Take particular care not
from inside the exhaust manifold.
Reinstall the exhaust manifold. Torque
to 28 ft-lb in the sequence shown
Figure 14.
8.
Attach the thermocouple to the
supplied thermocouple leadwire
extension with the supplied nuts
and bolts. cover this joint with the
supplied heat shrink tubing and heat
until the tubing conforms to the joint.
Make sure the entire joint is insulated.
9.
Route the thermocouple leadwire
extension along the factory harness to
the driver’s side and connect it to the
Six-Gun harness with the supplied nuts
and bolts. cover this joint with the
supplied heat shrink tubing and heat
until the tubing conforms to the joint.
Make sure the entire joint is insulated.
10.
Reconnect the ground cables to
the vehicles batteries.
Note: once the Six-Gun Diesel tuner
is powered up at key-on, it will ‘learn’
that a thermocouple is installed and
automatically enable the eGt limiting
function.
If the thermocouple is removed
after being installed and run on the
vehicle, the Six-Gun Diesel Tuner will
assume that the sensor or connection
has gone bad, and cease adding
power while triggering the [2,3]
diagnostic code (see Trouble Shooting
Section 8). To ensure that the Six-
Gun Diesel Tuner operates properly
after removing a previously installed
thermocouple, see the ‘Clearing
Learned Information’ Section 9. EGT
limiting will not be operational and
excessive EGTs may develop at higher
power levels.
