  1. Glad it worked out for you. Bill
  2. What does that button in the middle at the bottom do? Personally I like having a transmission temperature gage as you already have a water temp on the dash. Have you talked to who did the work on it? Bill
  3. Are you talking about the digital display or the gage display under it? Bill
  4. Wayne, isn't this your house for sale in Fredericksburg? https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Fredericksburg-TX/pmf,pf_pt/231730587_zpid/55679_rid/globalrelevanceex_sort/31.337217,-97.286682,29.384568,-101.46698_rect/7_zm/ You might be able to store your RV in the barn. Bill
  5. Keep working back with a meter till you find power. Bill
  6. Yes but when I am scrolled down I can't see it.🤩 Bill
  7. Welcome to the forum. These are all things I would associate with the chassis batteries not house. What RV are we talking about? If you add your RV and outher info to your signature it helps to get better answers quicker. Bill
  8. Most air lines on trucks/buses are. Not hard to replace just annoying that you had to. Hope this is the end of the air leaks. Bill
  9. The transmision would be a showstopper for me if it is just using 5 gears. The 6.7 is the same basically as my 5.9. I have been nearly everywhere with no major problems. Yes you need to shift to make best use. To me the new coach would be a step back from your current coach. Bill
  10. The 101 is not bad but I do not recommend taking your coach on the 1. See it in your toad. Like Brett I have done the west coast from the border south of San Diego to the Canadian border. Bill
  11. Yep, looks like it was over torqued. Is it a flare or compression fitting? Bill
  12. Now Carl, no where did I say it was the current Cummins recommendation. Although I think it is for the newer 2019 engines running DEF. The heads up on lack of downward compatibility comes from, https://www.api.org/products-and-services/engine-oil/eolcs-categories-and-classifications/oil-categories#tab-diesel-f-category 😄 Like Brett said, and you do know he is Mister Cat. He can answer any Cat questions. Bill
  13. You need to provide some proof to that statement. Because I think you will find out that a correctly formulated multigrade oil not only protects the engine at startup, but also throughout the life of the engine. You might want to read Cummins Engineering Standards – 20086 This is a list of approved oils. Endorsed and Recommended by Cummins - Valvoline™ Premium Blue™ including the 5-40 synthetic are first on the list, because they have a marketing arrangement with Valvoline. Under that is the Alternatives and, in that list, you will find the Shell including the T-6. One outher point. If Shell thought there was a chance their oil (including the T-6) could cause a problem why would the offer a 10 year 500,000 mile warranty??? I have a 5.9 Cummins.😁 One last thing to keep in mind in the future as the new API FA-4 oils become more available/prevalent. API FA-4 oils are not interchangeable or backward compatible with API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4 oils. Refer to engine manufacturer recommendations to determine if API FA-4 oils are suitable for use. Bill
  14. Welcome to the forum. You can use any of your credit cards. (don't use a debit card) just let the bank/company know that you will be in Canada so they don't think it was stolen and lock it. I would notify a couple card s just because like here some places only like certain cards. Have a great trip. Bill
  15. Well getting ready to do my annual oil change. I run Shell Rotella T-6 5-40 full synthetic. I decided look online and see if shell was still doing a rebate. They still are but they change the rules. Now you can only get 2 rebates per household so if you buy 5 gallons of oil (in gal bottles) you can only get rebates on 2 gallons of $7.00ea or $14.00 if you just buy the gallons. I found they sell it at Walmart in 2.5-gallon containers this will allow you to get a rebate on each one of $17.50 or $35 for the two. https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/coupons-rebates-and-sweepstakes/better-fuel-economy-meets-better-wallet-economy.html#iframe=L0RJWS90NXQ2Lw== This is actually better than the last program because you could only get $5.00 on 4 gal containers or $20.00 total.😄 Bill
  16. Another place to look at quality use coaches is Motorhomes of Texas. They have some nice coaches. http://motorhomesoftexas.com/ Tell me what you think. Bill
  17. Sometimes it is best to pass. Are you just looking at Monaco's? www.pplmotorhomes.com Has several. Bill
  18. You won't have a problem as long as you know how to manually downshift to keep your power up so you don't lug the engine. Bill
  19. I think what jleamont was asking is after it makes contact with the roof structure. Does the substructure feel mushy? It looks like a defiant bargaining point to me. Bill
  20. There is no modern car that records mileage when being towed. Something you should be aware of. When you hook up geting ready to tow. After you shut the car off, you need to pump the brake pedal to bleed off the vacuum for the brakes. Otherwise you can get some over aggressive braking till it bleeds off. Bill
  21. Shawn, I don't see any problem. With any large vehicle you will have to adjust to how it drives. Ask if you have any questions. Do you have any experience driving a big rig? Bill
  22. It does look like delamination to me. I can't tell if the plywood underneath is buckled or it has just pulled loose from the underlayment. I would also be concerned with the sealant job to the right by the awning. Bill
