Hmm thats weird. Did you buy the truck new or used?

The allison has a problem that the trans will slip and go into limp mode if you add a programmer. However, the transmissions are so sensitive thst improper maintenence could cause damage.

I know that the older 5 speeds in GM diesels called for synthetic. If you changed to a different fluid in them you could get problems as well.
