adrainey, Welcome to the forum let us know if you got the cap off. Under what conditions is it overheating? Bill

Glad you are doing OK. Makes you smile when you go out to start the generator when you really really need it and it starts and runs with no problems. Hope things get back to normal soon. Bill

I don't know, you will have to ask Herman. I got volunteered but haven't heard what I am going to be doing. Bill

I was looking at upcoming events and noticed it is just over a month till the FMCA South Central Area Rally in Conroe Texas, October 7 to 11, 2015 at the Lone Star Expo Center. Just wondering who was planning on going. Bill

Easy check raise the tire off the ground and rotate it by hand. You should be able to feel any drag from the brakes. Huffypuff had a good suggestion. Bill

Sounds like the front right caliper isn't releasing fully. I would follow wolfe10's advise. Bill

Generator Start Sequence Question: Onan 7.5 QD

Congratulations on your new coach. That is the way it works. The clicking is the fuel pump. Let it run and warm up a little before loading and take the load off when shutting down to let it cool off. Bill -
Why Do So Few RV Parks Offer Online Booking?
wildebill308 replied to juggernaut's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
Welcome to the forum. I think it is to expensive and time consuming for small operations to do. I use the my laptop to look for places and then look at reviews then call and make the reservation, usually receiving a written conformation by email. I don't see a problem I just got back from a trip where we stayed in22 different campgrounds and state parks. Bill -
I like simple I use a bungee from the door to the mire support. Bill

Wayne, That sounds like a plan. If it is staying put you shouldn't have any problems. This is a simple repair I doubt you need a new base. Never waste beer money. I removed the opisat side screw and it was tight but didn't need heat. Just remember it is in aluminum and you can strip the threads. Even if you did the repair is simple. Ray, hold my beer and hand me that rosebud torch I can have this screw hot in 10 seconds, so what if you need to repaint the front of the coach. Bill

With a flame you are going to damage the paint. With the electric soldering iron you are just applying heat to the set screw and not likely to damage the paint. http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=328-1244&cm_mmc=SEM-_-GGL-_-PLA-_-NA&003=18299132&010=328-1244&mkwid=s|dc&pcrid=43172597894&gclid=Cj0KEQjw6vquBRCow62uo-_J_YYBEiQAMO6HigvAy8FG2l8gFftV0bntwEXh-O6T--xcJAg-8zdszM0aAin88P8HAQ Bill

That is why I said to use a electric solder iron as you can apply heat to the screw only. A hand held torch is a little less discriminate. Bill

Wayne, Finally got around to finishing my repair of the allen screw on my mirror. Going back to your first post, yes the allen screw has a type of Locktite on it. I would try backing it out first. you might try a little penetrating oil to. When you get home or where you can work on it you might try heating it with a electric soldering iron. just hold the tip to the center of the screw. I took the screw out of the other side to check it out. it came out but needed a fair amount of force. As I posted earlier the threads and hole size were beyond what a helicoil would repair. I went with a 1/2 -13. The only problem was finding a bottom or plug tap, all the taps I could find were start taps with a long lead. The problem is I couldn't get the tap threads all the way through the hole. The long lead hit the shaft of the mirror I was able to move the shaft and the plastic part up but couldn't get it through. I ended up cutting the lead off a start tap to finish the thread job. Simple job ended up taking a couple days instead of 30 min. One thing I found was the screw that was screwed up was half the length of the one on the other side. I wonder how that happened. Good luck on your project, I know exactly how frustrating it is having a mirror not stay put. Bill

This was per the instructions from EZ Pass. Pleas show me what facts you have for your statement. What does the toll I payed before I got the EZ-Pass have to do with anything? Most people know that EZ-PASS is not valid in Texas. Bill

Wastegate Actuator Adjustments-- Cummins C Mechanical Engine
wildebill308 replied to mike-in-sky's topic in Engines
1,"What happens is as you build up boost pressure the wastegate on engine will open and dump excess exhaust out the exhaust pipe. By a preset value set on the wastegate and opening of wastegate at said value this controls the speed of engine." Boost pressure has no direct control over engine speed. 2, "Adjustments made to the actuator arm to keep more pressure on wastegate from opening above engine spec's again will only cause damage to your engine." Perhaps if you went crazy. But how do you explain that Cummins uses higher boost pressure to make more hp on some applications with no damage. I think 40 psi is the upper limit. Above that you would need a bigger CAC to cool the air or you don't get the benefit of the higher boost. Bill -

Location Of Test Ports Allison 2000MH Transmission
wildebill308 replied to rlbarkleyii's topic in Chassis
Interesting my Banks IQ reads the transmission temps. I wonder why the scan gage can't read them. I think they plug into the same port. Have you talked to the Scan Guage teck support? I would talk to your local Allison shop or call Allison teck support. Do you have this link? http://www.allisontransmission.com/parts-service/my-transmission Bill -
The instructions that came with my EZ PAS was to mount the motorhome one to the left of center about 6 in down. The car was to the right of center behind the rearview mire. I got mine in New Hampshire in June. One for the Motorhome and one for the car. I keep the one in the car in the protective bag when towing so it cant be read. I was motivated after paying full price on the George Washington bridge $76.00. It has been thoroughly tested and have had no problems. Bill

I don't have personal experience with the 5Star but have read good reports. Look at what Banks has to offer to. http://5startuning.com/got-a-v10-rv/ http://bankspower.com/products/show/342/59 http://bankspower.com/app/index/22# Bill

One thing I did to stabilize my mirror was to install a plastic wire tie around the bottom probably where you have the shims. I used a fairly heavy tie and pulled it with vise grips and pushed the lock to get it as tight as I could. It slowed down the vibration and helped to keep it in place. Bill
-
I just happen to be working on a similar problem today. My right side mirror kept vibrating out of position. I found that some one in the past had totally striped the set screw. It was so bad it wouldn't come out just spin in the hole. The comment about using a impact may cause more damage than help. I would only try backing it out. The part is made of soft aluminum. I was going to use a Helicoil type repair but the threads and the hole were past that. I am going to the next size allen screw. Bill
