• Mr. Allison busts a nut

    Well, we appear to have cascading simultaneous problems. Hmmm…simultaneous…

    Back to it. Our tech thought we had a bad turbine sensor but the replacement turbine sensor is still bad, but while rummaging around in Mr. Allison’s innards he found that clutch C1 is “burnt, welded.”

    Not good. An Allison rep confirmed the diagnosis.

    So we have a new reman Allison 3060 coming, expected no sooner than a week. So we’ll be in Camp Parking Lot for a while.

    By the way, did I mention that it’s going to cost EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!??
