If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
With your skills..... Swap to the 8.1l and throw a turbo or two on it..... Should be able to get 500hp plus that way :)

 
the 14 of this month i well have better internet  so i well add a lot more pics

thanks every one for being so friendly   

this is the 2ed place i have showed pics and talk about the RV    i was not happy with what ppl started to say over on irv2.com  so thank you again every one 

 
This has to be one of the most gifted man that I've seen in a loooooong time.
I admire his talent and capability to address all of the issues in this rebuild.
I thought that I was a pretty good 'hands-on' guy, but not so much now.

Keep on with the restore and continue to let us know how you are doing.

God Bless You
 
Terry,

I drove by this morning and WOW. I wish I hd half of yourskill. That will be one fine coach when you are done. I am amazed at the way you rasied the roof and fitted the front cap.

My hat is off to you my friend.

captsteve


you can see how much i still have to do on the paint and more      wish i was there when you stop by would have showed you the GM350 down in it  a lot of ppl don't believe  that its really in there and the RV can move

thanks for being the first to say its real   

there are some ppl to say its not or Photoshop the pics 

and the part for the bumper was just made  .. have a lot of sanding to do on it but what did you think of the shape
as there is no part to fill the hole i had to hand make some thing  and i am not sure if it looks cool

and the funny looking wing on the back gets more parts      /// small window under the wing in the back//  and more    when  every thing is added  you cant tell its a wing tell you look at it from the back 
 
I think that when you are done the front peice will look like it belongs there. I does look pretty cool. I really like the way that you fitted the small windows in the side of the roof extension. I would think that if they can be opened it will allow for some nice ventilation and allow heat to escape from a normally dead air space.

Let me know if you you will be there at anytime over the weekend and I will try to swing by.

Steve
 
to the nice guy talking on saving cars  this is one of the salvage  titles i did here in FL  8 months of work and how i got to know the 8.1l

this was all so the 8.1 i was going to pull to put in the RV  at first  but timing got low

What you lack in spelling, you certainly make up for with your incredible RV resurrection.


It was a pleasure scrolling through your post and seeing your progress.


I just wish I could help with the 8.1 information.




Brett Michaels of "Rock My RV" (the TV show) would do very well offering you a job. Your abilities amaze me.

Hey Terry, I made it over here.  I'll see what I an do about the TCM/ECM TAC stuff.
Are you sure its a 2004 Allison?  What is the trans out of?  What engine was in front of it stock? 

I ask because there was a few years where there wasn't a 6 speed Allison available in the GM trucks, only a 5 speed Allison.  We have to set this beast up using the parts from where the trans came from, not what you want it to be like.  If the trans is from a 1 ton Suburban, you dont want to set it up like a gas pusher. 


I realize that you have a 2006 wiring diagram , Workhorse R26 UFO Chassis 81L 2006, but we need to know exactly what Allison transmission you have sitting there.  What vehicle did it come out of? You said the VIN was 1F6NF53Y560) the "0" signifies a 2006 vehicle, but then you said you were lied to and it might be might be from a 2004 1/2?

Are your 8.1 engine and Allison trans from different vehicles?  We can control the 8.1 easy enough, it will run using any 1999-2007 PCM/ECM so long as we use the 24 x crank signal and 1x camshaft signal from the 8.1 and send it to the ECM?PCM.
The tricky part is sending the correct info from the ECM to the TCM, that's why we need to know exactly whaty the trans is.

OK I gotta take a break, supper time for me up here.  Been at this for 5 hours now.

I'll check in later.

peace
Hog

 
well  hog was a very very good guy that know his stuff  got me all the info on the TCM/ECM 


so over the last 2 months  i have not got as fare as i would like too  as i am saving cash up for the motor parts i need  so its been small things here and there as i can

the P side windshield was pulled out and reinstalled  so its not falling out any more    now just need a new drive side windshield

got a lot more of the roof in  and started to play with some cabinet work

it is hard to tell but the center of the roof is head liner and you can see wight paint on the side it all looks the same
but now its starting to look like some thing inside
