chucknewman Report post Posted June 4, 2010 We will be in Oregon/Washington next week for cabinet and other work, and I saw Halton CAT listed as a level 1 dealer in Portland. I need oil, lube, coolant change, valve lash, etc. Has anyone used them and what was your impression of service quality? Also, I've looked into the CATRVclub web site several times (Tech Tidbits and more) but cannot find the write-up on coolant change procedure. Usually that means it's right under my nose. Can someone push me in the proper direction? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chucknewman Report post Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks Brett for the quick reply. When you say If your hoses are over 3-4 years old, this is a good time to change them as well, do you mean just engine area hoses or the two hoses that run up to the front heater core as well. The latter would require a lot of time in the bays, plus dropping the LPG tank and maybe the fuel tank on my '98 Safari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck, The hoses in the engine room are a lot more in harm's way than those run in a basement or frame rail-- heat, vibration, petroleum product exposure, etc. Many coaches have a splice at the front of the engine area. If not, a hose to hose barb fitting can easily be fit. At the very least, check them for softness, cuts or abrasion. Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately Halton CAT isn't listed, so not much help to you... rvservicereviews.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
