RV particulars: 2003 Rexhall 3550BSL
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): 8.1L gas, Allison 5 speed, Workhorse Chassis
Miles: 35000
Year: 2003
Break Down Description: Loss of power
Symptoms: Running along fine, sudden loss of power then resumes running along fine.
Effect: loss of power
Cause: Crankshaft Position Sensor
Outcome: Replaced sensor an no further problems
We were running down the interstate when the motorhome lost power for less than a second then resumed to running fine. Happened 3 times during a 300 mile trip. An engine scanner found codes p1518 and p0336. Apparently the p0336 caused the p1518 code because once the crankshaft position sensor was replaced all codes were gone. Drove another 300 miles with no problem so far.
Update 10/27/10: Over 42000 miles and still running strong.
