Stuck in Van Horn, TX

[Julia Bonser]

Thanks for the hint. My navigator wrote down the code from the test
transmission. We were not getting any codes from the engine. All
systems looked normal. What is frustrating is we had an Allison
dealer troubleshoot this issue and we still wind up on the side of
the road.
