Turbo whistle?
Hello Thomas,
I recently had a trans temp gauge installed on our coach by an Allison service
shop when
they replaced our leaking hoses between the transmission and the radiator.
Total cost
with labor was about $300. Now we will know if we're getting into the danger
zone when
we start pulling a mountain pass. I think it's worth the money. Cheaper than
overhauling
the tranny.

We would like to add a turbo boost gauge since we have no indication at this
time. For
what it's worth I have heard turbo whistle we we've up around 2600-2700 rpm.

Regards, Eric in San Antonio
