The idea of using your brakes firmly is to pretty quickly get your speed down to where you can shift to a lower gear where you will have more braking HP from the engine/exhaust brake. If you have to use your brake pedal more than very infrequently, you are in too high a gear/going too fast. Physics dictates that your "equilibrium speed" (neither slowing down nor speeding up) on a downgrade will be faster than a loaded 18 wheeler, slower than an empty one.

Easiest way to identify the source is to buy a roll of 2" wide blue painter's tape. Easy to apply, easy to remove with no residue. Tape over suspected areas until you identify the source.

wizard749, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. That is a fairly new tire design, so I doubt many have any experience with them. Have you asked Michelin for their thoughts on whether it would be their recommendation for your coach? Michelin 866-866-6605

IF, yes IF it has been maintained (verify) that is NOTHING for the Cummins M engine. That is a million mile drive train and is usually found in OTR trucks pulling 80,000 pounds for that million miles.

Excellent job with the diagnostics. But, on a 9-10 year old propane regulator that was way out of spec, I STRONGLY recommend replacing it. They are under $25.

Jim, Correct. The initial trailing arms that Monaco provided to replace the OE broken ones WERE THE SAME WEAK DESIGN. Strongly recommend replacing with the Source Engineering ones. It is possible that the "new Monaco" also has upgraded trailing arms--- I don't know. The thread in my link is over a decade old.

Jim,. Just curious-- was the coach one of these with known rear suspension (trailing arm) issues: https://community.fmca.com/topic/570-serious-problem-some-monaco-holiday-rambler-safari-chassis/?tab=comments#comment-2686

I was not aware that the PPL inspection addressed/checked any chassis, engine or driveline components.

JZeman17, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. Assume this is a stand alone ice maker-- please verify. What brand ice maker do you have? And, if you can post the model number that will help as well.

Agree, as long as the load range is the same or greater than the OE tires.

Wow, he must be a deep breather-- look at the CFM's that bad boy can handle.

AND the appropriate safety stands!

fountaindavid.jean, I just did an internet search for that PN and came up with many sources-- all under $80. Is there a reason you don't want to just replace it with a new one? As it has been awhile since this thread was updated, please tell us what symptoms you are currently experiencing that lead you to suspect the Battery Disconnect Latching Relay.

WAY off topic posts deleted.

Excellent. Thanks for the update.

Guys, Let's keep this thread on track, not Covid-19, supplements, etc. 1976 Apollo 2600 RB in the Technical/Engine section

CLOSE. You could balance an egg, but it still would not roll smoothly. A tire needs to both be in balance AND not have excessive run-out.

1992 model, I would surprised if it does have an intercooler. Not related to your no-start issue, but OE was turbo, no intercooler. Good question so far-- let us know the answers and we can help. Also, where are you located-- someone may be near who can give assistance.

Try home insurance near the Gulf the year after a hurricane!

OR, perhaps based on actual cost/loss experience?????

jealyn2, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. Does using the "boost/combine" switch give you enough power to raise them? What brand are they? If you know the model, please post that as well, AND/OR what year are they?

Truing/shaving does not necessarily guarantee perfect balance. And balancing sure doesn't have anything to do with run-out! Yes, on tires I had trued, they took less weight after truing, but they WERE spin balanced.
