New Coach

As many of you may know we purchased a 2013 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 43 PKQ. I thinkj the Q means quad slides, P K your guess.
Not long after we signed papers and loaded our stuff in it we had a Check Trans and Service Trans indicators come on. We were able to get it into an Allison shop but not a first line shop. They checked it out and said there was a missing wire in the harness. Also that it was safe to drive with out damaging the transmission. One solution they offered was to have the TCM, Transmission Control Module, reprogrammed to disable the prognostics. The prognostics tell you the health of the transmission, when to change fluid and change filters.

So we drove it. We wanted to get to South Dakota to change our residency and register the coach. Everything worked well with no apparent issues with the transmission. While in Box Elder, near Rapid City, I did another search and found a real Allison shop in Gillette WY. So, still without a registered coach, we make arrangements to have the transmission looked at by Interstate P:owersystems.

Their analysis is that there is a defective contact in the 80 pin connector that attaches the wiring harness to the TCM. About 3 hours of analysis and putting things back together so we could drive back to the campground. Yep they didn't have the needed connector shell. One is ordered from one of their sister locations and will be in by noon 6/4.

So two more nights, minimum, in Gillette before we head back east.
