peterk Report post Posted October 30, 2017 Hi Firstly I must apologize to Kay, sorry I did not reply (some work & health issues) yes, I managed to locate the proper Wheel Stud sockets. Secondly, somebody kindly sent me a Workshop manual for the Oshkosh 1990 Chassis,but somehow I've managed to loose the file, can I kindly ask if somebody could email me a copy to (peterkukla928@gmail.com) please, if there's a cost please let me know. Thirdly, would anybody know the Torque settings for the Front Axle to axle spring U bolts, and lastly what is the Toe In measurement for the front axle. ??? An update for those kind helpful hearts within the club, we've done around 7,000 miles in the Gulf Stream since we purchased her. We've rebuilt all the Brake Calipers, and now have good brakes (rather a novelty) and they're getting better. We've installed a dual fuel kit, Diesel / LGP and the power difference is amazing and so far a 10% benefit in Diesel consumption but the added pulling power up hills is remarkable. We have also fitted a Exhaust Gas Temperature probe and that's been a big help in monitoring what's going on. We have a Cummins 6BT (150hp) and fitting this dual fuel system has transformed its pulling power. We've just had the front Road Springs rebuilt as they had flattened out and fitting new Shocks front and rear. Sorry to have to ask for a re copy of the Technical Manual, getting older and a bit more forgetful. Very Best regards to all in the US of A.

obedb Report post Posted October 31, 2017 1/32 inch toe-in for radials on a solid front axle used to be the standard. Probably still is. Metric? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted October 31, 2017 0.7938 is the metric conversion. Or 7938 micrometers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peterk Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Many thanks everybody, I'm old school like you guys re metric / imperial. BUT I purchased an electronic Caliper, its great press a button and it flicks from Metric to imperial. Best regards Peter & Rayne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RexCoach Report post Posted December 21, 2017 An update for those kind helpful hearts within the club, we've done around 7,000 miles in the Gulf Stream since we purchased her. That's a lot of miles in the Gulf Stream. I would be constantly checking for water leaking into the coach and for salt water induced rust. Salt water can also wreak havoc on the electronics.
