I was able to get my truck looked at over the past 2 weeks. Summary...the trans was over pressurizing and oil was spitting/pouring out the trans fill tube. I disconnected the fording kit and it still did it. The problem was with the air shift transfer case diaphragm which was leaking and over...
After disconnecting the fording kit I put it back together in the original way it was. So, that's back to normal. I didn't do anything to the trans because I don't know anything about the trans and t case. I'm not a mechanic. I dropped it of to Trans Diesel in Lakeland that is an Allison...
what they told me is that the vent lines are connected between the t case and trans. If they disconnect it it wont over pressurize the trans but I cant switch the t case . I'll check back with them on Monday to clarify
Up date...
So, I took it to an Allison trans shop and they said its not the trans. The pressure build up is in the transfer case that is over flowing into the trans for some reason because the vents are connected. They said they can disconnect the vent from the trans and that should solve the...
I did that and completely drained it. I didn't flush the lines. And it still did it. I also put it in all the gears before checking the level. It doesn't look like any other fluid is mixing. But the fluid looks like the torque converter is foaming the fluid as someone suggested to me. The other...
Then I disconnected every line (and left it open) going to the 4 way intersection except the short line just above the motor. And, that still didn't help.
So its getting air from somewhere. I just don't know where it's getting pressure from.
I looked up and posted on those threads already in...
Tow4...I opened the glad hands and it seemed to prevent the over pressuring and the oil doesn't spit out any more even when I shut it down. Prior to doing this I tried to dis connect all the lines at the point where the fording lever attaches to all the hoses in the picture. The only thing I...
I finally got to work on my truck and blocking the fording kit. There are only 2 hoses that seem to be on a ball valve connected to the lever inside the cab. So, I added my own ball valve to those hoses. It turns out that one of the hoses is just a drain and the other goes to the horn. I started...
I'll be home Monday and I plan on putting a ball valve on the fording kit. Then I'll shut that off to see if it still forces air out of the dip stick. If not I'll check the level and drive it to the trans shop. If that doesn't work I'll leave the dip stick out and drive it to the trans shop...
which is the supply line?
what did you use to plug it with?
Maybe a ball valve between the hose...
Something like this;

The fording kit is zip tied closed but I cant tell if it is still sending pressure. And, I don't know how to tell. When it gets up to temp and I shut it off it starts to over flow then spit up oil from the trans. I tried draining some from the pan and filling it up but cant seem to get the right...
This will be down all side roads. top speed will be about 30 to 35 mph
EDIT
Reason for tow is that I added fluid to the trans and over filled it. Don't want to drive it until its changed
The trans fill tube/dip stick tube spits trans fluid up and there is air pressure building up. I'm not sure if that's because I overfilled it but it does spit up.
When I first got the truck it had oil leaking into the air box. So, I disconnected all 3 ports (from t-case, trans and fuel I believe) going into the air box and let them drain through tubing off to the side. The one of the hoses has air blasting out of it when I let go of the brakes and one...
