Do it yourself. Hoot put a how to article in the DIY section of the forum.

I just had mine power flushed at 5300 miles and refilled with transynd. I don't plan on draining the fluid again until 50,000 miles, just changing spin-ons at 5k intervals.


Had I known that my dealer had never actually power flushed an Allison with their new flushing equipment, I would have done it myself or took it to the Allison service center. They did OK, I just didn't like being the guinea pig.


I do know that I will buy all of my stuff directly from the Allison service center as my dealer made a nice profit off of me. My fault, I've should have known better. They even asked me if I had the materials. Then they would have charged me labor only. Live and learn... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif

flush with Transynd?
