Best of luck to you, keep us updated. Bill

Stephen, welcome to the forum. I would recommend doing what Ernie said above. Where are you located? If you can't find a chapter that you like you can always start one. Bill

Pull the cover off the AH and look inside. May just be a loose connection. Are you running a preshure regulator on your connection to the park water? RVs don't like preshure much over 65#. Bill

Glad you were able to fix it. By the way did anyone say welcome to the forum? Bill

That is a different card. They are canceling the TCS card that was through FMCA. I have a card but never funded it or used it because I didn't like having money tied up where I couldn't acess it. I feel bad for the people who liked the program and are losing it. Bill

Finally Back? Where in Texas do you live? Bill

You said " When the intake air temperature is 160 degrees F the engine will run a lot hotter than if the intake air temperature is 60 degrees." How do you know what the temp is if you don't have a gage? At what ambient temp? Do you know what your EGT (exhaust gas temp) is and what # boost are you pulling on the hills? The only time I had any problems with running hot on hills with my old coach was when my EGT was hi. Bill

Keon, Congratulations on joining the dark side. Look on Amazon, they even have adapters with phone holders. Bil

Where have you looked? What is your budget? Bill I thought/read it as you were looking for.

True but those are such cheap plastic fittings the teflon tape my take up some of the slop in the threads. Bill

I think Jleamont has touched on some good points. One of the most important is "what RPM are you pulling hills?" Are you downshifting to where it will accelerate and then hold that gear at about 2000 RPM till you get to the top of the grade? Bill

I am with Herman. There are to many people reporting engine failure for me. Do some searches on IRV2 https://www.irv2.com/forums/f123/ I have heard it is a problem with the head dropping valve seats then breaking the valve and destroying the piston. But if having $30,000-$40,000 in repair cost isn't a problem for you. Bill

I would try some blue Loctite. Bill

If it is leaking where the line attaches to the filter I would shut the water off then loosen the fitting that screws on to the filter and re tighten it. Make shure it isn't cross threaded when you screw it back on. Bill

Querious, what were they doing that they took the wheels off? Bill

Have you ever cleaned the CAC between it and the radiator? Bill

I don't know for shure but I would look on the unit for a "reset" button. I have a Oasis and when I had a problem with the burner not lighting I found and pushed the reset button. Bill

First thing I would check is the ground. What is the voltage of the batteries that start it? Have you tried to start it with the main engine running? Bill

What does a replacement cost? The hard part may be finding the parts to rebuild it. Bill

Glad to hear you are on the road again. Yes the weather has been great. It is finally cooling off some in Texas,no 100 degree days in the forecast. When we were in northern New Mexico we had some mornings that where just a little cool. 38. I wasn't cold I was just "testing" the heating system. It warmed up to the 70s in the afternoon. Bill

Just a note this post is 6 years old You can often learn things reading the older post but seenthat poster for a while. I like using the kids bubble mix to hunt for air leaks. It might be nothing but a loose connection. Even if the line is cut it isn't that hard to replace. Use appropriate safety measures when working under a coach. Let us know what you find. Bill

I am in the "no cover" camp to. I think this is something that sounds great but doesn't work that well. Bill

Look!!! The beginnings of a international chapter!! Bill

Welcome to the forum Ben. I can't imagine a case where grinding noises from a transmission was a good thing or ok. I hope it hasn't done any permanent damage. For power to the brake buddy you can run a auxiliary power line from the battery or even from the coach. Let us know what you find out about the grinding. Bill

Those are good tires. Not just a tire shop but a place that knows how to do a big rig all wheel alignment. Most should do it automatically but point out you want the steering wheel centered. Bill
