New Mexico, Carlsbad and Albuquerque Areas
wildebill308 replied to LynnCumbie's topic in Campgrounds
One thought, stop in Little Rock at the Down Town RV park and visit the Clinton Presidential library. clintonlibrary.gov Now if you don't want to do the Pigeon Forge area, how about the New River gorge area Canyon Rim Visitor Center, 162 Visitor Center Rd, Lansing, WV 25862, nps.gov, (304) 574-2115 Bill- 44 replies

Turbo Failure on Caterpillar Engine
wildebill308 replied to charlesholman@comcast.net's topic in Engines
The gage you are looking for is a Exhaust Gas Temperature Gage or EGT. The sensor is installed in the exhaust before the turbo. I won't drive a (diesel) coach with out one. They provide a wealth of information on how your engine is performing. Bill- 31 replies

You can look at the difference using this tool. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ with the 275 tires you gain 1.8 mph at 60 so you have a little overdrive. Bill

I think it would be a good idea to set the ride height so the bags in front are at the exact same height. This is what I think is happening. When one bag is higher it is carrying more weight. They may be the same pressure but the taller bag will start lifting the weight on the front faster than the shorter bag. This is why the first thing they do when working on the front end is to adjust the ride hight. Bill

Turbo Failure on Caterpillar Engine
wildebill308 replied to charlesholman@comcast.net's topic in Engines
Depending on how cold it is I would run the block heater from 2-4 hours before start or if riley cold overnight. I would replace the thermostats with the proper temperature ones. By the way Cat calls them "regulators". "Had to clean the CAC and Radiator" This should be a at least yearly maintence item. The furnaces can't put moisture into the air if it is operating properly. The combustion chamber is separate from the air going into the coach. Cooking, showering and any open flame will add moisture. No heat pumps don't put out heat below about 45 deg. Bill- 31 replies

When going to Santa Fe we like Santa Fe Skies RV Park. For Indian art and jewelry we like Sissel's Fine Quality Indian Jewelry, it's the real deal and good prices. http://sisselsjewelry.com/ http://www.santafeskiesrvpark.com/ Last time in SF had lunch at Palacio Café, 209 East Palace Ave, SF NM. To many great places to eat in SF. Bill- 44 replies

Turbo Failure on Caterpillar Engine
wildebill308 replied to charlesholman@comcast.net's topic in Engines
Welcome to the forum and Merry Christmas. I would try to get Cat to pay for the turbo, can't hurt as they had a lot of problems with the last engines before they pulled out of the over the road market. Also read what I posted earlier about finding a rebuilt turbo on the web. I like having a EGT gage so you can tell exactly what is happening temperature wise with the turbo. You can read what I posted earlier. When you start your engine once oil pressure comes up go to fast idle. this will insure complete combustion of the fuel and prevent unburned fuel from washing down your cylinder walls and contaminating your oil. Speaking of oil I am running Shell Rotella T-6 5-40 Full synthetic oil. It gives more protection to the engine and turbo. If you have questions feel free to ask- 31 replies

Why did you wait so long to fix an obvious problem? Bill

Welcome to the forum Gary. What we need is more information. what make and year of coach. What your brother needs is some one smart enough to clean all the DEF out of his fuel system and not just the tank. This will require (as Joe said) a complete tear down of the fuel system and repair/replacement of damaged parts. If you don't do this cleaning the fuel tank is a waste of money. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I had a diesel generator that was doing just that. It was traced to silica crystals precipitating out of the coolant. They had used the wrong coolant. This was during my final PDI and the dealer had to replace the radiator. I recommend using only low silica antifreeze. Bill
