Codes that work for ScanGauge for 2004 W22 & Allison transmission

[deputydog]

I have a 2005 Allegro Bay on a 2004 Workhorse Chassis with the 8.1l Chevy and Allison 1000 transmission.

I received the following codes from Joey at ScanGauge and they worked for my ScanGauge. I included the 01 at the end of the TXD code.

Hopefully this will get you the transmission temperature - It worked for my unit.


TXD: 6C18F1221940(01) MAY OR MAY NOT NEED THE 01

RXF: 046205190640

RXD: 3008

MTH: 00090005FFD8

NAM: TFT

How does one physically update their ScanGauge with these codes and is there a fee?

[deputydog]

I don't have mine in front of me, but you go into the "x-guage" and pick a location to store the codes (0 thru 9 I think) and then press "edit" and put the codes in, one line at a time. They are in order in the post. After you put in the last one, press "save" and you are done. If you mess up you can just go back into "edit" and then "save" after you fix it. Then on gauges screen press any of the selectable buttons until you see the name pop up (TFT in this case) and you're done.

Mine is the latest version, so some might be slightly different and I think some of the older ones did not support "xgauge". You might have to check the website for an upgrade.

Cheers-

Hi There: Question. If I buy a new scangauge now will it have all of the codes in it that are applicable to my 02 W-22? And what temp are the 1000 Allisons running at? Thanks Marv

[Fred and Bonnie]

Marv, the unit comes with the basic trip information preporgramed. The unit has the ability to display four items, it could be trip info or it could be what ScanGuage calls XGuage items. The XGuage items must be programmed in by the owner, since there are several pages of items the owner might wish to track. This a link to ScanGuage home page. This link is more info on the XGuage

Hope this will help explain and hopefully it answers Fred K''s question. Fred K, you can update the older versions of ScanGuage, I believe it's a $28.00 fee

Thanks Fred. After I posted my question I went to the ScanGauge website and found my answer. I have to send my ScanGuage II to them and they'll upgrade it for $25. I'm leaving on a trip soon, so I'll have to wait until I return.

Regarding temp of the 1000, I have an Allegro Bay 34' (no toad) and I drove it last week after getting the codes to work and mine is indicating 150? to 155?. That's after driving for over 1 hour in town and on rural roads. At 60 mph it was a steady 150? for over an hour. That's with an ambient temperature of 75? to 80? and I just serviced the fluid. I'm not sure where the temp probe is.

I would say that you are doing good. I made a run from SoCal to Vegas and on level ground the temp was 194º and on long grades it would run up to 209º. The OAT was in the high 80's. We probably are pulling close to 5,000# more than you, with coach and toad.

The temperature thermistor probe is in the sump on the pressure switch manifold.

Allison recommends that a temperature sending unit be installed in the line "to the cooler" and the temperature be read there.

Allison's Mechanics Tips publication states the normal operating sump temperature is 160?-200?F. The normal range for the converter out (line to the cooler) temperature is 180?-220?F.

There is no difference in normal operating temperatures between Dexron III and TranSynd.

How long is the cable on the ScanGuage??

Has anyone had to order the extra 6' cable??

-Tom

[Fred and Bonnie]

Tom, not sure where you want to mount the display, mine is just below the IP and I had to coil-up the excess.
