What ever happened to Allen in Neb. Thanks

(quoted from post at 17:03:10 07/05/18) I would like to tell a story of what he said about GM transmissions. I use to read his posts and learned a few things. Well i passed on some knowledge i learned from him to a young guy i am working with for the summer. He has a late 80's or early 90's pickup. He came to work one morning and said it shakes and vibrates. Just put new tires on it. He checked the lug nuts and they were tight. He described the problem to me. He said it not only shakes but doesnt shift right in to 3rd gear. I immediately remembered what i read from reading Allen in neb's posts about transmissions. He said that he got people referring trans problems to him needing rebuilt with this symptom and all it is is a plugged fuel filter. It is starving for fuel so you push down on the accelerator more and the throttle position sensor gives all kinds of false information to the computer and the trans wont shift right. I told this kid my story about Allen on the forums and he listened. His shop didnt know what was wrong with the truck.The fuel filter fixed it. 2 happy people. Him for a cheap fix, and me for passing on Allens great knowledge. Thanks Allen if you are still on here.

(quoted from post at 18:19:14 07/05/18) I think his handle was Allan in Neb. Minor spelling difference. He is one hard working son of a gun and a talented musician. Had the fire and lost his house and everything in it. He got back up after the fire and was working twice as hard to make up for all the losses. He was liked by most on here and some of folks here helped him out, as well as the folks in his area of Nebraska, as they had a fund for his family at a local bank. Guessing here, but I think he realized that in order to run his place profitably he needed modern equipment & more HP. Old undersized equipment might rank high for enjoyment but when trying to make a profit you need equipment that you can count on and can do more of the job in less time. I know at least 1 member on here met him and thought very highly of him. I know that he shared what knowledge and tips that he could with anyone that needed that help. The fact that he is not active on YT is our loss and I for one would welcome him back.
