Transmission unlock

I picked up the same bus from M&M! What was the process you went through to unlock the transmission? Did you use CAT ET to raise the rpm limit?

No, the 3126 already revs pretty high for a diesel engine (2,600 RPM) and I do not advise you run it to its RPM limit to maintain longevity. I originally paid a fellow to reflash the TCM in my first bus, and then I used that software to reflash the TCM with the same file in my second bus.

First double check the stickers in the driver's area and verify the transmission is indeed an MD3060 as this procedure is not going to work on the 2000 (some of the buses there did have 2000s). If so then perhaps we can work out a deal for me to come and unlock your transmission.
