Hey all I just joined today and I have a question on my 2006 Silverado.
I have the manual shift option on my transmission (where L2 would be on the shifter) but when I use the manual shift I cant go higher than 5th. It says I'm in 6th is i shift it, but I cant feel it shift, not does my tach move. I'm wondering if either this is from my Edge chip or the latest and greatest TCM reprogram GM did wasnt that great...
Anyone else have this problem?

lose the juice

i think 6th is just an overdrive not an actual gear not sure though

and yes lose the juice to

There are about 90% of guys out there that i have heard about that have had problems with the juice with attitude. Then there is the other 10% that have not had an issue. The juice with att is not the best choice on the duramax. Like stated above, i would get rid of the juice and get you something else. Good luck with everything.

Is this a common problem with the juice? I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they have anything to say about it. I've had the latest update flash on it.

Ok i'll look into a different programmer, any advice?

mine goes in to 6th at about 53MPH in regular mode, not tow/haul.

I can shift 1-6 manually. You should be able to, as well.

 

[jstncse]

There is only about a 200 rpm difference. It is easiest to notice this at highway speeds (80) shifting down to 5th.

 

[DMAXchris]

When you have it in M, it will hold 5th a little bit longer. I bet as soon as you slide it into D it shifts into 6th.

If you want reliability with the transmission safeguards, get a Banks. You don't hear any complaints about those guys.

It's On the Old Body Style there are some weird electrical gremlins.

You don't hear any complaints about those guys.

that's because statistically, they're not used very much by forum guys.

Our diesel group down here (diesel nuts and also the bio group) pretty much runs the gammit from 18 yr old kids with their first Dmax to 75 yr old graduate engineers, close to half of us, myself included, are engineers. Most have tried just about whatever has been offered as far as programers or tuners, especially the BDog and Edge. They all gravitate back to Banks for quality and reliability. Banks may not produce THE most power, but it is reliable power. We also have a few that are pullers or run at the drags who go max all the time, they don't care what breaks or what it costs to fix and they have EFI or some computerized custom super hot tune, which is fine if that's what you want to do. Most of these guys have backup transportation for when the powerhouse breaks and deep pockets to match their thirst for go-fast power.
But...as far as not having to spend a mortgage payment or more for repairs, having a stock trans or close to it while still being able to play a little with reliability for the truck,that also has built in guards on the trans,temps and pressures, the Banks is the choice by a good margine down here.

5th and 6th are both overdrive so the tach doesnt' move very much. the allision is smart and won't let u shift if it unsafe for the engine or trans.

 

[SDP-1]

dont wast your money on other tuners just buy efi live.if you want the best.

i think 6th is just an overdrive not an actual gear not sure though

anything lower than 1:1 is considered overdrive. meaning 5th and 6th.

You gotta be joking. The LB7 I bought had a melted piston from banks tuning.
If you wanna spend $1000 for 100rwhp, buy a banks.
