Check engine light

[GARY MINKER]

Ouch, The dipsticks DO lie as the filler tube for these units is custom fabricated and may not necessarily be the right length. My dip tube was broken and re fabricated at one time before I bought the coach and there are variables in filter capacity, pan depth, hose length, in line cooler capacities, etc,etc. They can be close but the dip stick is not the end all score. You have to figure out ( good luck) what is normal for your unit. And yes, low operation will burn up the box.

As someone who hopes to join this merry band of Wanderlodge owners someday, the maintenance things really interest me. I was able to find a "Mechanic's Tips" pamphlet for the 700 series transmissions. It on page 13 says a severely low level will cause your condition. The lowest fluid capacity it lists is 30 quarts. Hope this helps. http://www.allisont ransmission. com/servlet/ DownloadFile?

When we checked it the fluid would not touch the stick so we added half a gallon to bring it up to the add cold line. The service tech said I don't care what the book says, the dip stick doesn't lie. Still I don't like it when there is an unexplained difference. I also noticed a warning the the owner's manual not to leave the transmission in drive for more than five minutes while stationary because of heat damage. I can see how that could happen in a traffic jam. Five minutes is not so long. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: patticake592000 > To: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com > Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:19 PM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Re: Check Engine Light > > > > > > Dan, > My tranny took 7 gallons, the last time I changed it.
