Re: Allison MD3060

Tried. Used directions on YouTube and doesn’t work as shown. Up and down arrow goes to oil then again shows d1. Push again shows d2 and so on. Goes to d6 then back to NN.

Allison MD3060

Another Allison MD3060 question. When transmission would downshift from 5th to 4th while slowing down it would sometimes be a little harsh. After changing to synthetic it is really harsh. Is this just a coincidence and TPS going bad or can it have anything to do with different fluids. Thanks

Re: Allison 3060 transmission

I spoke to my mechanic that does a lot of work on RV’s and he told me just to use round ones that came in kit. I did that and seems to be working fine. Also used gaskets that came with kit. They weren’t on mine either. Thanks

Allison 3060 transmission

In process of changing filters and fluid in transmission and found out that transmissions of certain age use square cut o-rings on filter covers. I got new filters and only round o-rings in kit. Mine had the square cut rings. Is it ok to use the round ones instead? Thanks

Re: steering box leaking fluid

There is a small machined surface about 1-1.5 inches long that will have numbers stamped on it. It was difficult to find on mine but it's there. it should be visible while gear is in mounted position on frame.

Screen clips

My 95 Sahara has some small black plastic clips on screens to keep them in place and to keep from rattling. Anyone know where I can buy replacements? Thanks

Re: Surburban tankless water heater

After some research understood the valve was there for winterizing water heater. Would it be needed on a tankless unit? Thanks

Re: Surburban tankless water heater

Pulled out my 6 gallon Surburban and am puzzled why there is a gate valve between hot and cold out of back of water heater.
