repower 90 sp to 300 cummins and 3060 allison

[rwoodysurplus]

I need a ecu/tcu calibration code off of a 37 bmc

I have found a dealer to reprogram my conversion ecu/tcu and they want
1 like i need to make this a correct shifting unit..

has anyone ever changed the transmission computer or can look at there
bus computer and give the numbers that are on this computer ?

I know that a 37 bmc has the same gears as my sp and i am using the
same engine so this is what i need so they dont have to reinvent the
wheel!

i have this week to get this so i can start installing over xmas break!

Your 3208 operates at a much higher RPM then the Cummings will, You
might have to change
the gearing in the rear end. Just summing to think about.

HEY DAVE how are you!!!!!!! heard you were selling the great bus you
have~~~~~~~~~~

i did driveshaft rpm on the DANA page and i am good to go..

the Zf over drive is. .76 and this allison is .65

the prop shaft will spin right at the same when in 6th gear!

thanks for keeping me honest!~

also the 37' 95-96-97 BMC has this engine and trans and has the same
rear end gears 5.29 as my 90 SP.......I do run a little larger tire
@1200 verses the 255 series tire they got~! so my top spd will be
faster if i stretch it out on the top side.

Woody, with the Cummins , are the computers not fuel cooled?? if so
you may want to look at tank delivery & return ID diffs between the
cat and cummins. and the diffs in fuel filter micron size between
the two. My n14 fuel cooled computer engine wont run with the wrong
filter because of the need for major flow.

no

this engine has a p7100 mech pump set factory at 330hp fire truck

straight old style mech engine.....maybe no good for CALI but good for
me--easy to work on and easy to get more hp if i need to!~

i might put a fuel cooler in line ----because it helps~

up until 97 cummins used this engine and hooked a 6 spd tran/elec
controlled behind it.....md 3060p is this 1

365 hp and 995 tq rating on the trans

thanks for keeping me in line and making me think of all unforeseen
problems next week!@

Woody,

I see in various forums you still need additional info for the
allison folks to help you out.

Thus far we have the VIN# on my coach, rear axel ratio (5.29), tire
size (295/75/22.5), and build number on the trans in my coach.

Now I have the numbers on what I am 90% sure is the black box for the
trans.

Black box for the Allison??
P/N 29509886
S/N J009012

Coach on the side yard until Wed - then gone 1 day for work.
Dan - 94 BB BMC 37' Will post here and send email.

i have been picking up more info and trying to save a buck

i have almost got it wired up in the frame tonite and you are
finishing the $$ deal for me

I was told 300 up to 800 to "regear" the ecm..

dont want to give them the wrong info and pay them to do it incorrect!!!!!

thanks so much!

this is what makes these forums so good......

Woody, Most all the tech manuals a mfg publish for products have
assumptions its audiance is their factory trained techs. I find the
best manuals and howto's are written by the vendors for the military
re: products they sold them. Some are funny with directions
like "lift the hood covering engine" on a how to to check oil, but
I rather the author have no assumptions of my mechanical ability.

There is a site listing many of these manuals for sale and copy. You
can find stuff via the sites structure of classifications and sub
catagories but that sucks and way much good info is hidden . Since
you live in a state above sea level I'll give you this trick.

Go to google
type search terms then "site:tpub.com" no space between site : and
domain.

ie
allison transmission site:tpub.com

I hope it helps

greg


thanks for the link--you know im active duty 20yr mtr sgt right! i got them military and some factory books but no prolink disks avil for us. We bring our to allison for recal if need be~~but they dont tear up enuf" so we at the shop dont know a guy to rework the calibration...they keep this close to their chest for liability reasons.....
