@tryduck5571 I could have repaired the power supply in the shift pad module, but i did not have the tools and software to flash the shift patterns back into the memory of the module. It is reccomend to do that after the module throws the code. My rv had erratic shift paterns before the power supply failed, most likely due to the intermittent module power failures. It now shifts like a new rig. That WTEC shift controller means everything to the shifing of that Allison transmission. I'm glad you got it fixed! Thanks for watching.

@jamesbondaygee depends on what kind of rig you have. If you have the same transmission and electronic shift pad, more than likely, you will have an Allison md3060 or 3050. Those were the popular choices for most of the manufacturers in the 90s. Let me know what ya got and what other issues your having. Thanks for watching!

@@hvaczach510 yes it's the md3060. I've looked at the error codes which are all saying failures at the solenoids. Luckily I found a guy to come out and help me.

@TignerAdventures Holiday Ramblers are some of the best built rvs. Back in their hay days, they were the cats meow! I very much enjoy our endeavor. I will try to make a few more intuitive videos on the rig. Thanks for watching!

@@hvaczach510 Sounds great. I subscribed so we will be here when you do. I pick it up the 1st week of Oct and will be doing some videos myself. Ours is a Navigator.

Hi Kyle, yes the web address is in the video description it is www.transmissioninstruments.com the guy who runs it is John. I had my WTEC II shift module rebuilt by him. That is the main push button shift controller. It stores all the shift patterns for your transmission. He did this for me in 2021 and I have taken the RV on several trips with no issues. I would highly recommend them for this repair. Normally the power supply is what fails on these, and it will not allow the transmission relay control module to work correctly. Good Luck!

My Friend Keith Running a 1921 AD Baker steam engine owned by the Feiker Brothers. This engine is a steam powered uniflow engine. Basically like the Hemi of its day. Baker steam engines we some of the smoothest operating engines built. The reversing gear is amazing how easily it goes from forward to reverse. Very well engineered machines.

Much needed after this long

Glad to hear. I had this trouble also when doing my monthly start of the rig. I usually check it out once a month and drive it also. Good exercise for the rv. It sure sounds like your power supply in the shift pad controller is failing as well as mine did. The team at transmission instruments were excellent in their work and knowledge. You really have 2 choices, either rebuild it or buy a newer used one somewhere on ebay or at a dealer that has been on the shelf for years. They still have to program the shift patterns in from your old one though. John at Transmission Instruments will do all that and check it out thoroughly. Mine was perfect after getting it back and we drove it to the Grand Canyon and hoover dam with no issues at all. Good luck and hoping for the best. Thanks for watching. Zach

I will say this. John and his crew are good at what they do. There is alot that goes into rebuilding one nit just capacitors and a new transformer. He also re flashes the memory with the factory shift settings. I just took a trip to the grand canyon and hoover dam over 3000 miles and it shifted like a champ with no issues at all. I would highly recommend them to rebuild it.

@@hvaczach510 just viewed the website and appears all I have to do is figure out what to ship him!

@@Undersafav yes just follow the shipping instructions carefully. I would call also just to talk and let him know your sending it. He is very helpful and nice.

⁠ I don’t know how to use these phones very well could somebody please try to shoot me the guys name that works on the Allison shifters

Try using a hair dryer to heat up the bottom of the key pad unit. Its mounted under the key pad. Its called the WETC controller. You can also go to the website www.transmissioninstruments.com and follow the test procedures listed if you are electronically skilled. It sounds like it needs to be rebuilt.

Well i just sent it off about a week ago. Due to cost and weather i waited. We had the bad cold and ice in Texas, so i did t want to send it off until it was better for them and me. I have talked to John and he said i should recieve it within 2 weeks. I hope the video was helpful. I had to troubleshoot it on my own. I couldnt find any videos on the oroblem.

@@hvaczach510 Well I saw this video ruclips.net/video/lTOMw-haShQ/видео.html and I think it's just a re cap issue. New capacitor. Is that all John is doing? replacing a .30 cent capacitor?

@@BooBooGlue1 Well there are 3 power supplies in the unit. He recaps and repairs any issues with them. Also he has to re-flash the eprom chip. He stated, due to the age they can loose their ability to retain info or can be effected by the power supply failures. Each unit has the factory programming specs that are stored inside the eprom labled on them. He refreshes the eprom with those specs and testes them out. I thought of doing the work myself as i have done many power supply rebuilds with amateur radio gear, but i do not have the capability to reprogram the eprom chip if it happens to loose its programming.

@@hvaczach510 did you get it back and does it work?

@@BooBooGlue1 Yes, sorry for the late reply i haven't looked at my channel in a while. I got it back and took a trip to Az to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam with the rv. It did awsome. No issues shifting or anything. In fact it worked better than it did when i bought it. John did an excellent job. Thanks for watching.

Sure thing

My grandmother worked here back in the day. He name was Jane Nelson and she worked on the bottom floor as a nurse and in Human Resources

Joe its a 1915 M Rumley steam traction engine. It was rated at about 14hp back in the day. We put it on the prony brake and found it to have about 26hp. It is a beast to run but fun. This is a video i shot from my phone of my boys on there. They usually ride with me but are trying it out for themselves. The one driving the engine is not my son but a friend of the Steam Show Club. Enjoy!

@@hvaczach510 Thanks for the info. I love older equipment. I'd be willing to bet my dad saw some of these things growing up. I wish he was still around to ask this and much more.
