Jim Warman Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 We had about a 2 week cold snap here in the GWN with temps sometimes getting south of -40...... And the Allison transmissions in the DirtyMaxes started falling like flies. Seems that the OTA coolers were gelling off and (due to some warm up kind of strategy) the torques were cooking themselves. Th rumour mill is having a field day with this so I can't post any meaningful numbers... 67 in our town alone according to one account.... over 600 in northern Alberta according to another... and still another says over 4700 in western Canada.... At least it should take the heat off the 6.0 and the 6.4 for a while.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Interesting. I wonder if it is the fluid that GM uses or the configuration of the cooler (or both). "Cold Snap" is also an interesting point of reference; folks around here start whining when it goes below +30*F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlep Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I heard pretty much the same numbers you posted Jim, only difference was it was 4700 units down across Canada.... thats alot of pissed off customers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
