PowerPDA Software & Installation

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.
