From dieselcracker:
"Distance between sensor and rotor stator is fairly critical. Make sure the sensors move smoothly but snug in their bores. Sometimes they get knocked back too far from the stator to be effective."
I pushed them in by hand as far as they would go - I cleaned them up, but I think I will go get some hi-temp grease to spread on them
From Arch Hoagland:
"Do NOT have your transmission flushed. Allison specifically says no flushing. You have to drain it, refill, drive about 20 miles and drain it again and refill."
I'm surprised... I know I read about the whole drain, refill, run, drain, refill procedure - but I thought the 'flushing' actually eliminated the need for the double task because it actually forced the fluid out of the torque converter in the first place. But I certainly defer to the experience of this forum.
larryjb2 - you have the same vintage chassis as I do - does your reader read ABS codes? That is still the question I have not got a strong answer on...
1) are the codes actually provided in the ODBII stream? and
2) will a more sophisticated (ie expensive) reader pull those codes?
And one more question that maybe someone can tell me... what is the expected voltage I should read on the ABS connector (with the sensor disconnected of course). Three out of 4 wheels had 1.48VDC and the 4th wheel had 1.38VDC. If all 4 had been different - I wouldn't be asking, but with 3 out of 4 being so close - my Electronics Engineering gut tells me there is a problem that needs resolving.
