    M1078 WTEC II Transmission Service Manual

    Thank you for the pictures. Did you have to remove the driveshaft to get to the solenoid? Also which harness pin was faulty on your truck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    M1078 WTEC II Transmission Service Manual

    I have removed the transmission controller since it was burnt up. I have not reinstalled the new one due to fear of it burning up. I then tested the harness for continuity and all looked good from it. Next I went wire by wire testing the ohm ratings from the harness to each solenoid and the E...

    1997 M1078 Smoking Allison Transmission Selector

    Well after more dissection of the control board, a transistor had fried and needs to be replaced. After scrapping off the potting I found that the part is a TYCO 6N15G surface mount transistor. I am having 0 luck finding a replacement part at my local electronics supply house. Getting it...

    1997 M1078 Smoking Allison Transmission Selector

    Took the entire wiring loom out that starts at the cab and runs to the transmission. No visible signs of tears or any exposed wires. Also looked behind the instrument cluster and no luck either yet. There is a rouge ground wire that runs under the dash and is just under the first available...

    1997 M1078 Smoking Allison Transmission Selector

    Ok that would explain why this shorted like this. The main set of wires coming from the transmission hangs really low and the sheathing was off of it. I looked for obvious breaks in the line but didn't see any. I'll looks more behind the dash now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1997 M1078 Smoking Allison Transmission Selector

    Well I opened it up this morning and I looks like it was a MOSFET that was letting all the smoke out and burnt the screen with it. I just still am unsure as to why it burnt up in the first place. This repair looks doable but it would take a ton of desoldering just to get to the MOSFET. Tell me...

    Got a chance to hook up all the batteries tonight for the first time. As soon as I got the grounds all hooked up the transmission selector started smoking. I was told that this had happened when they tried to jump it through the NATO port also. I will be pulling the unit out of the dash tomorrow...
