So, after all the back and forth, I ordered a new WTEC II VIM at a GREAT price and took a chance on a WTEC II ECU that came in unknown working condition. It too was a great deal and I figured if it didn't work I could get it rebuilt for $200. I was cautiously optimistic when it arrived last...

Just posted this on my transmission help thread, but copied it here for anyone following that might also be interested. "OK...I'm going to have to write a nice detailed "overview" of the MTV transmission saga at some point. As frustrating as it has been, it has definitely given me some...

OK...Wires are repaired and I'm back to were I started before the "barbecue." I had already replaced all the fuses, relays, and diodes/CPUs (they were missing), but double check voltage on the recommendation of DSD227I. Everything was good. I went to a local Allison dealer today on the...

Thanks for keeping me sane on the oil level sensor. My wife's car recently developed an oil leak and practically drug her out of the car a whipped her when the level got low. So, it was on my mind. I haven't had time to work on the truck this week. So, everything stands as it was. Hopefully...

...Haven't got it started yet. I have to repair the wires I fried. I did have another thought...would the oil level sensor keep the starter from engaging and how sensitive is it? The truck does have oil, but is a little low.

10-4 on parts availability. So far, I have been able to find most of the things I've needed. As DSD277 said, Google has found a few things and there are actually some commercial/industry websites that will search and cross-reference part numbers and then solicit prices for you. I found most...

No black plastic box that says Allison. So I guess it is a III. I've seen some of the negatives as well. I guess some people just can't accept change. It's like muscle car guys vs. super cars, NASCAR vs. F1, etc. I like and respect it all. I want to learn as much about the MTV series...

Thanks for the info! I will definitely review your project. As for the batteries, I didn't do 6tl because of the cost. I couldn't find anyone locally with any 6tl blems. I thought of trying two, but being my first crack at an MTV I could just see something driving me crazy because of a wacky...

Ok. So, I went to the starter relay and checked the supply side. Got 25V. Then I switched my connections to the starter side, went to hit the start button and got nothing. Rechecked my connections, still nothing. Thought I'd try once more for clarity, my alligator clip slipped, shorted, and...

Just a quick picking of the brains before I start any unnecessary troubleshooting. I am resurrecting an M1078. Installed four new 31 series batteries, all new circuit breakers, semiconductors, and relays. She's breathing, but won't even try to crank. All four batteries show 12 volts, volt...
