Greetings all - I have come across a 95 land yacht with a 6BT cummins and Allison transmission. So far the engine looks great but the transmission (according to current owner) has an ECU error so won't drive.. apparently common, but seems to be a $1000-$1200 part (from my reading at least). Pretty sure it's the
12V version but the owner is not sure and I'm waiting for the Vin to check.
The LY is generally in rough shape and missing AC units and sections of the interior... rough is a good word for it.
I think it's an Oshkosh chassis... and I just noted the engine is in the rear so not sure what that means for a transmission swap.
My thoughts were to transplant the diesel into my 325 ( 2 cylinders have no compression) and use what parts are in good shape to get mine up and running. for example I'm not sure if the alloy wheels will fit (10 lug I believe).. mine are rather nasty steel wheels. My (325) needs so much doing to it I'm hoping some of the parts would cross over well. It's cheap enough to consider even if the transmission is a fail.
It's cheap, largely because owner wants it gone, it's rough exterior and interior...and been sitting a long time.
Any thoughts/advice?
Thanks -
Pete
