Bring it to Wisconsin. I’ll put a clutch in it for a case of Busch light and Costco roast chicken, clutch is $1800, in and out in a day, the endurant has shifter stalk issues, a lot of the electrical comes from the harness rubbing on frame rail. But when you get the engine/transmission speed differential code bs it’s the clutch. It’s sensing slippage. It’s honestly the easiest clutch job ever.

I would think if it were a clutch (ultra shift, correct?) issue, it would be shifting erratically or slipping. I am guessing a wiring issue and or control module solenoid or actuator for the transmission. The roads are so bad that everything takes such a beating. Check for loose wires going to and from the batteries including the ones going to the trans. Good luck and be safe.

Before spending 9k on repair and hotel, I would be checking all the connectors and make sure they are clean with no corrosion. You drive in salty roads during the winter and get your engine washed frequently. Check all your connections and like someone else mentioned, your grounds.

Be careful with these shops. I had a similar issue that you were having. I have a DT12 transmission. Shop told me a clutch was bad and replacement cost $5500. Took them 2 weeks and had the same issue 2 miles down the road. Then they said it was the shift controller. Another $4500. Got 60 miles down the road same problem. They held my truck for 6 weeks and eventually I just had to take it to another shop and needed a new transmission. I got a reman 17k. My opinion if you have the money just get a new one. These shops will waste your time and cost more money in the long run. I had 40k saved up and with the down time, repairs and life almost went to zero. Good luck to you guys.

Take some time to go through the electrical system. Start at battery-ECU-to end plugs at sensors. Pull apart closely look at the pins for full engagement and corrosion, you may need to use your wiener magnifying glass to closely look. LOL . Clean up stuff and use some dielectric grease, but be careful not to over do it and make a mess. Getting to know your rig and how to maintain will take time and some patience. Good luck buttercup :)

Hi, I really enjoy your videos! Have you had a chance to watch any videos on the new Tesla Semi truck, such as the Jay Leno video. Tesla is claiming 500 mile range on a charge with many fast charging stations in truck stops in the near future. I would love to hear your comments about the future of electric Semi’s. Folks in your business would hopefully find them more economical all around, both fuel and maintenance wise. Plus being able to charge and slow down with the electric motors, not using the brakes is interesting. Realizing that it may be awhile before your configuration is available. I am looking forward to hearing your informed reply.

You're right about it always being something... waiting on a power steering reservoir. After replacing 2 drive tires, quick release valve, brake chamber, muffler, steering u-joint. And my old tablet swelled up so much the screen is bowed way out and you can look inside and see all the guts. At least my new tablet is 5G so I'm hoping for some blazing fast mobile hotspot from it. And I bought a new printer as my Epson uses ALL the colors for printing black only so you don't "clog the printheads" from not using them. It won't let me print just black until I replace most of the color cartridges. I'm real tempted to do a "smash up" review of the Epson 7100. I think I've spent all but about $900 from my last trip's loads so I guess I don't get paid next month.

I know its too late for now, but you have to take the out of the switch for 10 minutes and then cycle the switch for 10 times. The transmission has a mini computer and when this happens it's the computer trying to reset its self. You need to take the key out of the switch every time you turn the truck off. I drive a peterbilt and it has the same problem. The guys in our shop told me how to do it. It's the computer re setting itself. Make sure you take the key out of the switch when you turn the truck off. It sounds dumb but it works every time for me.

Hello Lita and Robert. I guess you did not know about the electrical problems the Kenworth's are prone to, otherwise you may have gotten a different brand. Perhaps it is a minor electrical issue. In my opinion, 10 days to rebuild a transmission seems a bit long. I hope you can get a second or third opinion. If given the chance, folks will take advantage of you. Propping up a dead tree is funny. Keep on trucking. Have good days!
