Expert Mechanic’s Note
“Over the years, I’ve seen countless truck owners spend thousands chasing what they thought was a catastrophic internal transmission failure. They’d replace solenoids, valve bodies, and even complete transmissions, only to find the problem was a faulty TCM all along. The Allison 1000 is a legendary transmission, but its electronic controls can be a weak point as they age. Starting with a properly programmed 2001-2005 Allison TCM is the smartest, most cost-effective first step in diagnosing and fixing these common shifting issues. It ensures the foundation of your transmission’s logic is solid before you look at more expensive mechanical parts.”
