  1. You will find your shocks here: https://www.shockwarehouse.com/?msclkid=63764616765d1f33c5aa18ec4a9879a8&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=CPCS%20--%20SEM%20Branded&utm_term=shock%20warehouse&utm_content=SEM%20Branded%20-%20EM They had Bilstein shocks in-stock for my 1999 Spartan chassis, and at a good price.
  2. I get the hard copy and read it cover to cover within a few days, then store all of them. I do not read it on the internet, DW complains I spend waay to much time on the computer anyway. BTW, the FMCA magazine has been losing advertisers for some time now, the pandemic made it worse.
  3. I agree, it can be a faulty solenoid losing hyd. pressure, air in system, or leaky hyd. cylinder on slide mechanism. I've also found that if I do not hold the retract button a few seconds after full retraction(motor sound changes) the slide can move. In fact that is stated in the HWH hyd. slide manual. Using a manual slide lock on a hyd. system can result in major damage when forgetting to remove it just once.
  4. The California Custom Purple is a 2-part package, the deoxidizer is used first, no need to wipe off, then the purple aluminum polish. It beat Mothers hands down for final finish and ease of use, as I have tested several brands. In this video the guy uses small scraps of carpet to apply the polish.
  5. Perhaps the Norcold 1200 service manual will still be helpful.
  6. I'm glad you are cool again and hope it continues for a long-long time.
  7. I just created a new topic, edit button is displayed there. EDIT: Now here too; thanks Joe!
  8. Monday my order for California Custom Purple aluminum cleaner/polish arrived. The video had convinced me it was worth $29 to give it a try on my dull, corroded rims. I did a few spots today to judge ease of use and it it lived up to the claims. I am well-pleased with the result, it did as shown in the video, The ease of use is amazing to me, Sure wish I could get back all the money I've spent on metal polishes in the past. This stuff works great, without much effort whatsoever. The top portion of the outer band(with holes) took me 10 minutes:
  9. AHHH! Home,home, home; to quote a famous being.
  10. If you have eyes on a tire and find the plant code designation, look it up here: Hot link: http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/tire-dot-plant-codes-sorted-plant-code/
  11. My bad. I thought that was his MH pictures, I'm out of suggestions.
  12. That is not a regulator, it is 12VDC powered solenoid from Norgren. Your picture 2 is your regulator, looks nothing like what I described on my MH, sorry. Upon re-inspecting your first set of pictures, the 3 one explains and identifies the air adjustment screws, one for in, the other for out direction. Adjust the screw for opening the cover, as you said the close works fine. If adjustment does not correct the speed, you might add a few drops of air tool oil into the supply line.. If that doesn't work contact a Monaco parts place for a new regulator.
  13. You may have to have the generator running. inverter on, or on shore power, depending on how Tiffin wired your coach..
  14. I can only relate my experience with my air-powered step cover. There is a miniature air regulator beside the 12V- controlled air soleniod, according to Winnebago the set pressure is 40 psi to the solenoid-controlled directional valve. This is a generic miniature regulator supplying air to the solenoid, nothing special. Can you locate a regulator near your solenoid-controlled directional valve? My new miniature valve came with a small pressure gauge, from ebay. Your top picture appears to have a 12V solenoid controlling air direction and supply. My valve was sticking and the air cylinder that moves the cover were both very draggy, I put a few drops of air tool oil in the supply line exiting the regulator, which solved the draggy problem.
  15. DW bought me a T shirt, could she be hinting st something?
  16. Rootin for you Carl! I had both eyes done about 12 years ago, just follow the schedule for eye drops and Dr's orders. This was a few years after having laser surgery to re-attach both retinas resulting from a severe head injury, so I know you'll do well.
  17. This DEF FAQ page has all the answers, storage life is one year between 10° - 90°.
  18. I'm with Carl, I never try to out-engineer the design engineers. Things like this might happen: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/engine-explodes-out-of-tractor-pull-semi-truck.981753/
  19. To reinforce what Brett said, page through this slideshow by Cummins. As to your question about initial start-up, modern diesel engines have an oil pressure requirement built into the ECM, no oil pressure detected = no start.This pdf is for the Cummins L9 engine.
  20. Dad was there prior to the invasion. He was on the lead mine sweeper for the atlantic fleet, USS Implicit that cleared the waters. He would have been 98 last March. I talked with mom yesterday, she still remembers the day but she didn't know where dad was. I think it amazing only 4,412 allied military were killed that day, one was a cousin/ son of dads oldest brother.
  21. Ray, Spartan told me to leave the front covers off so I would not forget to check hub oil level prior to each days driving, plus it's easy to notice a leak. I can't remember where I put them it's been so long.
  22. Yes sir I merely mentioned it in case you might want to snug the bolts down some. Mine were finger-tight and gasket began leaking.
  23. Jim the 3 bolts on top of the lift pump become loose and allow the gasket to leak. I suspect the gasket changes due to exposure to biodiesel. The Allen-head bolts are accessed from the top-side. New gaskets are available, 2 designs, which one is yours TBD on disassembly. My fuse is in a totally different location, no help here, sorry.
  24. I experienced that once. In PA the rear ride height rubber end broke off, air springs deflated. Rear of coach began hopping up/down violently until I got slowed to a crawl. Thankfully there was no damage to U-joints or driveshaft according to the mechanic at the Pilot truck stop who replaced the height adjustment rod and ends. When I returned home I measured ride height and with deflated air springs; 4" difference. That's a lot for a 3' driveshaft to absorb.
  25. Gee, that sounds like the ECM went directly from box to installed, bypassed setup and QC
