Review on Black Heavy Duty Performance Tool W80586 Remote Starter for Cars and Trucks by Paul Varnado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth a "workaround " boot method.

If you have a big 8V92 Detroit with an Allison 5 speed automatic transmission, you already know the frustration of trying to get a start after the engine accidentally stopped in a position other than neutral. With this remote start tool you can bypass the start of the transmission lock. Of course, be careful. Ask someone in the driver's seat to be ready to shift into neutral after the "guy in the back" starts the engine. That little remote start button and cord saved us from having to call roadside twice already. Our stops were caused by the engine overheating, which resulted in a stall when the transmission was in 'drive' and we were going up a steep hill. Both times my husband was able to get the bus all the way to the ledge but without this remote starter it would have been impossible to start. Now we are not so scared when the bus gets stuck on the side of the road.

Pros
  • Starter
Cons
  • Minor Repair
