5.
Connect the 4-pin connector
of each gauge into the back of its
corresponding gauge.
a. Crimp the remaining Black and
RED wires from each 4-pin
connector gauge harness to the
butt connectors as shown in
Figure 48.
b. Strip one end of the RED wire and
crimp it to the butt connector
containing the RED wires from
step ‘a’.
c. Strip one end of the BLACK wire
and crimp it to the butt connector
containing the BLACK wires from
step ‘a’.
d. Route the RED wire to the fuse
box. Locate the appropriate
fuse for instrument lighting in
the owner’s manual. Cut the
RED wire as required and strip
the end. Crimp the push on
connector to the RED wire and
connect to the fuse as shown in
Figure 48. Alternatively, locate
power wire to dimmer switch and
install T-tap. Cut the RED wire as
required and strip the end. Crimp
the push on T-tap connector to
the RED wire and connect to
T-tap on dimmer power wire.
e. Locate a metal surface that will
serve as an acceptable chassis
ground. Cut the BLACK wire to a
sufficient length that will allow
it to reach the chassis ground
and strip the end. Crimp the ring
terminal to the BLACK wire as
shown in Figure 48.
f. Drill a 1 ⁄ 8 ” hole, if required, to
attach the ring terminal to the
chassis ground. Caution: If
drilling, check the backside
to make sure there are no
components that may be
damaged by drilling.
g. Use the supplied self-tapping
screw to secure the ring terminal
to the chassis ground.

NOTE: Please refer to the Banks iQ
Software & Installation Kit, Owners
Manual for software installation
and operation instruction before
beginning Section 9, Automatic
Transmission Learning.
The 6.6L GM Duramax Trucks
equipped with the Allison 1000
5-speed automatic overdrive
transmission use 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.
With the power selector on level
one, start the truck and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
2.
Switch to power level two.
3.
Drive vehicle in power level two
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.
Repeat step 3 for each power
level.
WARNING: Take particular care
not to do wide open runs in
5th gear when in Automatic
transmission Learning Mode. The
Allison 1000 5-speed automatic
transmission will continually
adapt to the power output of
the engine to optimize shift
quality. The transmission will
quickly adapt to the power
setting if the driving cycle
includes regular gear changes
at high loads. The transmission
learning procedure will need to
be repeated when switching back
to the higher power settings once
the transmission adapts to the
lower power settings. It will be
apparent when the transmission
adapts to the lower settings
by monitoring the feel of the
gearshift. Gear changes will be
noticeably harder when initially
switching from a higher to lower
power setting. This will soften as
the transmission adapts to the
new setting.
