In addition to providing weekly waste collection, Nitti/Lightning handled the snow removal in the neighborhood my family lived in during the 2000's. Equipment used was typically a couple of heavy-duty pickups and a container carrier rig. Roadway sanding was done with a roll-off truck carrying a modified bin fitted with a spreader attached to the back. (Unfortunately I never did get a good photo of that rig.)

DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Posted on: 2000-08-23
Description
Trucks equipped with allison 1000 or 2400 series transmissions. These transmissions can experience park pawl to rear cover interference due to an out of flatness condition.

Consequence
This could cause non-engagement of the park pawl when the transmission shift selector is moved to the park position, resulting in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning.

Corrective Action
Allison transmission is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will remove the transmission from the vehicle, replace the park pawl, and reinstall the transmission in the vehicle. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact allison at 1-800-252-5283 or ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
