Hey all. I'm looking for some info. I am not brand loyal...I drive a Toyota. I am looking for numbers of failures of Allison 1000's in y'alls trucks.
Reason?
We have 13 rescues in service on Freightliner FL-60 with about a 19k GVWR. They have the CAT 3126, but is detuned to 210hp 520 torque (same torque as the Duramax). Out of the 13 we have replaced 18 transmissions. Well, actually Allison has. None of the trucks have hit 100k miles yet. They average about 4k miles a month. We waited for these tranny's because we wanted a medium duty tranny with a parking pawl.
The wait, needless to say was NOT worth it. Any info would be appreciated.
OH...BTW: The ONLY symptoms have been either...would NOT go into reverse for the first couple of times, then would go out after a few days. Or just would stop going forward after stopping at a red light.
