Abstract:

This paper deals with the electronic enhancements available with the Allison MD and HD transmissions. It explains what combinations are recommended for utility and municipal vehicles. As a consequence, further explanation related to the work normally performed by body builders relevant to the features of the electronic transmission is covered. Additionally, the advantages of electronics for the mechanic when performing maintenance on the vehicle are discussed. These subjects include the use of the ProLink diagnostic tool, internal trouble codes, and maintenance tips. Other topics covered include transmission ratings, mechanical features, and specifying the proper transmission for the work you need to do. Summarizing all these features collectively provides the driver, mechanic and fleet manager an opportunity to achieve the greatest benefit and return on their investment.
