I want to have an oil sample analyzed. Should the motor be warm?
I have an Alision MT644 tranny. Is that the same as a 643 only a 4 speed?
Rockwell rearend C3181 11 333. What is the ratio?
Thanks again!!
The 5C goes to paint shop next week. Things are looking up!

Concerning the oil analyzes, any heavy duty bulk oil company has a service or contracts with a lab. Castrol Heavy duty lube is one. As long as you are going for the oil have all the fluids checked including the coolant. What you are realy after is a long term history of all the systems. each time you change oil have all the fluides checked and compare to previouse analyzes. |

Ray,
I have my oil analyzed by Blackstone Lab in IN. It's a high tech lab, can analyze all fluids andand send the results via email.
My 35' Prevost Champ has an MT644. Works fine, 4 speed with lockup in 2nd gear. I think the MT643 is a 3 spd. Allison has a descriptions of all it's trannies on its web site.

Addendum:
The engine oil sample should be taken at mid pour, immediately after the engine has been warmed up.
