No need for that, you can always go back and correct it by using "edit".

It was ALL ISX models that had problems, the problems depended on HP or year. The problems were different depending on HP. higher HP had Valve problems. They ALL had Ceramic Plunger issues with the injection pumps (this was based off of the engine year, not HP), camshaft issues and the list goes on.. below are a few examples on lower HP engines.

goose47, Welcome to the FMCA forums! I'll have to ask my neighbor. He dolly tows his Sonic, never asked why I just assumed it was the car and I have no idea what year or any details on it.

timandjane, Welcome to the FMCA Forums!

I have seen them on many commercial vehicles. I can’t say I ever heard a complaint.

I had that done to my daughters Honda. I wasn't impressed with the overall result, but I negotiated it in. I have heard good things on the new Ceramic coating process. What is the product and the cost?

I do it either way. If the black tank is left open while emptying the gray all you would be doing is aerating the gray water as you introduce air from the black tank. Most of the time I pull the gray valve and while it’s draining I close the black.

Hopefully you can clear it out on your own. The Algaecide for me broke it down so it would get into the filters. At first it was so bad it was clogging up the fuel line at the water separator. I thought for sure it was going to be expensive. I got ours from a truck stop that must have had a load dropped that sat around too long in the summer. I had these little buggers also; https://www.aa.co.nz/cars/motoring-blog/what-is-the-diesel-bug-and-how-can-i-prevent-it/

You should leave both closed until its time to empty them.

How did you make out with this?

Diesel will burn if misted over a flame, you can pour it on the ground and put a torch to it, it will just smoke, only after a while, not burn. Scroll down to #2 https://www.anl.gov/article/7-things-you-might-not-know-about-diesel

Funny, one of the first tests to determine if diesel fuel is contaminated with gasoline is to see if it lights with an open flame, if it does its contaminated, if it doesn't there is NO gas in it.

I added algaecide to ours, topped it off with fresh fuel and ran it to 1/4 a tank, topped it off with fresh fuel and added more algaecide. I did this for several months and many fill ups. It took me a while to get it all out. My primary filter was in need of changing the first time around 900 miles, and it went up from there. That all happened back in 2016, to this day I still use a fuel conditioner at each fill up. Cheap insurance and the coach does perform better with it. I looked into fuel polishing, it was just north of $1000 and I had to drive it to them. I didn't spend nearly that much doing the way I mentioned but I guess it will depend on how bad yours is. If I still had a fuel tank repair shop close by I would have pulled the tank and had them cut it open, clean it and weld it back together. I have had that done in the past for Ambulances and Fire trucks, that works best and insures cleanliness. Make certain you carry extra filters, proper tooling and a way to prime those filters with you at all times. I still carry 5 primary filters and 2 secondary filters. Tools are in a tote, rubber gloves next to the tote and I have a jug to store excess fuel until I can properly dispose of it when I get home.

I also do hold a lot on the temperature function, I use it to compare to the others to see if something is out of the ordinary, that's it. Here's why; I had a situation this year in stop and go traffic down a hill, brakes were hot and I could see it on the TPMS, then someone pulled out on us once we got rolling to speed and I stood on the brakes, both rear inner duals set off over temperature alarms when I came to a stop. Me being me pulled over into a parking lot and took a temperature reading of all drive tires with my temp gun. The tires were not close to the temp reading on the inner duals on the TPMS display, the outers were! I soon realized the TPMS sensor was getting hot from the brakes (they were located between the wheels then) and not from the actual tire. My over sized fire apparatus brake lining probably escalated the heat. I moved them back to the outer duals now for accessibility with solid extensions like I had set up before.

Not sure on its height. Our coach is only 11'9 the satellite dome puts us at 12'5", AC units are at 12'3". As Wayne mentioned it could be the angle.

I believe issues like this are not related to roadside assistance only, but if you stop and think about it you will quickly begin to notice a lack of responsibility, service and professionalism across many industries. Today you have to help your DR properly diagnose your illness, or they will likely get it wrong. Today you have to double check your order, it could be fast food or it could be something you purchased on line, the description, photo and product could be incorrect or packaged wrong. Take your RV to a shop with a problem, you are more likely to have a workmanship problem or a miss-diagnosis today more than ever. Call the cable company with an intermittent problem watching a movie, they wont be able to figure it out. I could go on and on, I think everyone gets the picture. Attention to detail and professionalism are falling by the waste side. Now it all about money, not service or pride and its everywhere in every industry. I wasn't brought up this way and I see it every single day in the work place. I am learning to let it roll off and its not easy thing to overcome. I am not so sure any RS assistance would be better than another, sometimes its all about how willing the person on the other end of the phone is or how bad they actually want to help. Sadly most are contracted through the same call center, just the face and name are different where you purchased it. I believe its a roll of the dice when you call and that persons mood that will determine the outcome, not the carrier or the colorful brochure that sold it.

Driving down the road the my Alternator switches between chassis and house batteries. The batteries I run are a direct replacement for a flooded acid battery which means they can withstand the charge rate of the alternator which isn't uncommon in today's AGM. No AGM will take an Equalization charge kindly, which my alternator is NOT capable of producing. When parked the inverter charges both banks but not at the same time. My inverter is set to AGM so it will not go into an Equalization cycle. Over the road sleeper tractors are also set up this way when they have Hybrid or Battery powered APU's, very common amongst that industry to have flooded to start the engine and AGM on the APU.

Google maps. If you go to Google maps and type in campgrounds near xxx. You will get the pinned locations of campgrounds. Then to the side will be the campgrounds listed. Check each website and reviews and make a decision from there. Reviews and campground lists; http://www.campgroundreviews.com/

Here is a topic on an Imperial that is similar to a Dynasty and Windsor;

Do you have a macerator toilet in the 1/2 bath area?

Campalot, Welcome to the FMCA forums! To answer your question, yes. I have our coach set up like that for three years now.

Looks to me the screws fell out of the motor and it separated from the gear box
