RV particulars: American Eagle by Fleetwood on Spartan Chassis
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): 8.3 Cummins NON ELECTRONIC, MD 3060 Allison 6 speed
Miles: 104K
Year: 1994
Break Down Description: (You can add any description of the problem here that you think would help others in understanding the situation and problem.)
Symptoms: Took for first quick trip before big trip this weekend and made a stop and now Transmission won't shift after start-up
Effect:currently broke down have Allison coming tomorrow. Have another post going on this but this post is a great idea and wanted to contribute.
Cause: appears to be ECU but will post update tomorrow
Outcome: wasn't the ECU but a loose wire in the plug in the back of ECU, added jump wires to force loop closed in future if it happens again. Saved a costly repair bill
UPDATE: WASN'T LOOSE WIRE BUT A BAD ZERO THOTTLE SENSOR SWITCH AND CABLE ON THE NON ELECTRIC CUMMINS ENGINE, THIS FED WRONG INFO TO THE VIM WHICH INTURN FED THE ECU. PULLED PLUG OFF SENSOR TO LIMP HOME AND WILL CHANGE SENSOR AND CABLE ASAP
