    Allison 6sp: Possible limped transmission

    Not sure on the condition of the trans prior to me purchasing the truck. I believe it was a pipeline truck. So I am assuming it was primarily used for towing. Purchased it with 230,000 miles on it. Prior to the Transgo Jr. install the tranny was hesitating a bit half way through the 3rd to...

    Allison 6sp: Possible limped transmission

    So I did some reading and there are some posts that say it could be multiple things causing the tie up (Trying to think optimistically :) ). Apparently it could be a bad speed sensor, or wiring, improper clutch clearance or damaged tone wheel on the front rotating assembly or transfer case...

    Allison 6sp: Possible limped transmission

    Driving my truck last night got into the throttle a little (about 3/4 throttle) with it on the 90 horse tune and my transmission hit fourth harder than usual and fifth harder too then dropped right back to fourth gear and wouldn't shift past it. I was a mile from home and just got home. Went...
