Hey Gents, Been helping my cousin remotely trouble shoot his rig. As well he’s contacted a local Allison shop he trust. Reaching conclusion his rig’s issue is a temperamental (literally) Transmission Electronic Control Unit. Do you know of a current electronic repair facility, and/or site to order a...

Tom, excellent story. And interesting note about the guard wasp. Here in MS we have some large militant territorial Red wasp. I’ve seen them fly out up to 12’ away to buzz a person. I like your night ops. Have watched yellow jackets fly into their inground nest in late evening and then watched again...

Ok, have been meaning to post these questions since this past Monday and some other project takes me away from the thought. But today is the day!

You replace one seal and one large o-ring. Believe the 6 bolts at the end plate of the sector shaft plate cove...

Colin, Good morning. Along with what Brett noteded here’s a bit more You May find informative. I have an Allison dealer/shop locally so bought the dual filters as a kit and Transynd directly from them. You will need to get your s/n from the transmission plate. As there are two different lengths of f...

Good morning, Thanks to John, Bill, Mel, Charles, et al, for all your input and time. I traced my positive cables yesterday and found my culprit. I had mistakenly connected the two positive cables that run to my boost solenoid to the house batteries. After hand over hand verifying where they ran I r...

Hi John, I sincerely Appreciate the conversation today and you taking the time to respond. Few things to note regarding your opening statement about a disconnect and about how you state it should be wired. There is plenty of debate regarding disconnects on the negative or positive post. Here are a c...
