I pulled the Pump and took a close look at the aneroid valve. The balder has pin holes in it. It was damaged at the bottom near where the corrosion had been when I unstuck the valve a year earlier. I remember now thinking "I should change this bladder because it looks weak where it was in...

thanks

20 psi? any way I can fix it. Need to be on the job. Yea the way it was dragging I think you may be right. You think it has bad seal bypassing?

Anyone Know hoe and where to test fuel pressure. I think this truck only has one one filter and one pump.

I guess I would guess this truck is either operating normally and I just have it overloaded or over graded or both. Or, I have a fuel issue. Maybe I should replace the fuel filter and put some a half diesel half diesel fuel cleaner in the new filter?

No Allison tech has looked at this transmission since I owned it. But my belief is the transmission is operating normally. Since my rpm dropped precipitously during the climb I do not suspect transmission slipping. Torque converter seemed fine. No funny smell.

I pulled the selector down to first as I started up the hill and held WOT. the trans, on its own shifted into second (I believe). Then when the hill slowed me the trans shifted ( I believe) into 1st. I had just idled the truck for about 15 minutes prior to starting my 1.5 mile trip to the...

Where should I read 20 psi?

I did have to remove the pump once to fix a sticking plunger on the pump. What could have gone wrong with the pump ? Plunger again any idea on how to diagnose pump. It does just have one fuel filter? It is acting like a dog. Wont come close to spinning tires.

I just stopped moving forward. I did not watch the trans temp but the trip to the hill was only about 1.5 miles. I was more concerned about backing down the hill at this point than looking at the gauges. I sure temp must have been rising but I don't think I was near hot.

Do you know of a good price on a M920?

Maybe my filters are clogging. Unloaded on flat it seems to do ok

Yea, I wounder if I am not getting full fuel. I was pulling a steep grade. My guess is around 15%. I was pulling a 48k pound tractor on a tri axel lowboy. If that is all she got I got to get another truck.

Just tried to bull a 15% grade pulling 48k lb Track Hoe on lowboy. Had to back down. Any ideas on hill performance?

Anyone know how to test, rebuild or purchase one of these? SAW-11028586 Transformer-Rectifier 2920-01-102-8586 Thanks
