P101 and P016 In Service

[Kodie]

The statement below was taken from the NYS Head Mechanics Association. I'll need the buses here as soon as possible so I can look at this issue. I want to see both of these buses.

We have found this on our IH FE 300. There was a shield mounted under
the TCM on the right side frame rail, behind tranny and just above the
exhaust pipe. It had been collecting salt and dirt for quite some time.
We took them all off and found some disturbing damage to the TCM. An
adjacent school district actually had a TCM fail do to the corrosion
entering the TCM.

The symptoms were speedo quit and check trans light came on. Neither
IHC nor Allison covered this item. It was on a FE 300. I would
highly recommend removing shield's and inspecting your TCM's.

P101 is okay, it's going to have to be looked at regularly though. P016 had some major build up, and the TCM was starting to look pretty bad. I cleaned it up and it should be okay for now.
