Cummins allison conversation

Good thoughts and reality are most of the time far apart! I'll just have my 48re built and be done. But a 68 would be nice....

I'll second this, love my built 48re! A built 68RFE at anything over 750rwhp is a crap shoot and the clunkyness and defueling of the Allison is something I can definitely live without.

I have very limited notes remaining from my time pondering this in my book. and it is mostly questions I needed more information on. I am sorry I can't be of more help

You can say that again.

Yeah that's what I was trying to explain but you said it better than I and to get all that wiring and hardware and run all that, is going to be a hefty price compare to getting what you got just rebuilt. The ideals cool but what it's going to cost is your first and second born.

I would imagine the 68 could be done with a PLC. You need a dozen Hard I/O and a whole bunch of analog I/O. The gears are engaged with Solenoids. The shifting is done with a different sent. The shifting is done by collecting data from the engine and trans and maybe hydraulic pressures. In my day, I could write the program for it. If you can collect the info, you can make it work. Some people just can't think out of the box. I know one guy though. . . @Double R Diesel
