2011-2019 Duramax EPC Blocker (128041119)

Fits

Solve the issue of low mainline pressure in your 2011-2019 Allison 1000 transmission with this simple-to-install kit!

The transmission's oil pump generates mainline pressure, which is then directed by the valve body to the applied pistons. This creates a strong clamping force on the clutch packs, allowing for quick and complete clamping. If the mainline pressure is reduced or not timed correctly, the clamping force will also decrease, resulting in reduced clamping force and there won't be enough to hold the torque of the engine. In cases where the clutch packs slip, excessive heat is generated, causing damage to the clutch pack material.

The purpose of the EPC circuit is to modulate mainline pressure. Mainline pressure in a 2011-2019 Allison 1000 varies between 80PSI to 230PSI depending on driving conditions. When applying throttle to accelerate the mainline pressure will rise from 80PSI up to 230PSI. After the shift, the pressure drops back down to 80PSI. At 80PSI the clutch packs have barely enough clamping force hold the torque of the engine. The time it takes for the EPC circuit to close and allow the mainline pressure to build is too slow to effectively stop clutch plate slippage and premature wear. Installation of the EPC blocker allows the mainline pressure to be fully available at all driving conditions like the 2001 to 2010 Allison 1000 transmissions.

The EPC blocker kit quickly installs between the EPC solenoid and the valve body. There is no need to remove the valve body. Just drain the transmission fluid, remove the oil pan, and install the EPC blocker. Once installed, the EPC blocker will allow all the available mainline pressure, up to 230 PSI, to reach the applied pistons and clutch packs at all times.
