  1. The bad connector was underneath just behind the generator before running up through the dash
  2. Problem solved. A badly corroded connector between the dash switch and the 10pin connector. Cut it out and and re-wired a new connector
  3. Just had the same problem. Cleaned the ball check of a small amount of debris. All good now. 3 way valve not the problem for me
  4. On my 05 Dip with Onan 8000 gen, the dash generator switch has an issue. Will not start when pushed. Staring the generator from local switch, the dash switch then indicates run and switch stop function works. All connections, fuses etc. look to be good. Where to look next?
  5. On our 05 Dip, CC won't engage if E-brake is active. Use mostly exiting highways and some grades (we live in the west so fair number of those). In city driving it's off and drive in 3 or 4th as E-brake is too touchy
  6. Finally decided I could do the adjustment after reading this thread. Been a problem for a long time that required the outside magic opening procedure. The task of adjusting was easy and only a couple minutes to get it right. Unfortunately took several hours to get to get the inside door skin removed due to so many of the fasteners being buggered up requiring using an extractor among various other methods . We park for months on the beach in Mexico with the door open most of the time which led to the fasteners condition. The happy ending is all new fasteners and a door my wife now easily opens without me reminding her to push in and pull to the left to open
  7. One of our fans has died. I've read that they are not up to old standards since Dometic bought them out. Is a Maxxair a suitable replacement or should I stick with Fan-Tastic
  8. End of this story. J-B Weld made the surge tank leak manageable, this allowed us to get North out of the stupid hot temperatures. Once we get back home in Eastern Wa. purchased a new steel surge tank and low level sensor. Had Cummins coach care near me install the new tank/sensor, drain, flush & fill the radiator along with our annual maintenance on engine & generator. Doesn't look like I did damage according to Cummins. Engine temp. now hangs right at 175deg F. A happy ending (except for the wallet).
  9. OK, I've read through ALL the discussion on this subject on our site. WOW! Now I get why lots of looking but not responding. So all that being said I'm going with the the ESCO switch. Already have the Progressive's HW50 on the incoming shore. Good stuff as always Drew
  10. Is this a good replacement for the IOTA ATS? Specs. call out that it is an ESCO LPT50-BRD with pretty solid reviews. Thanks Drew
  11. Update on my overheat issue. Got radiator externally cleaned. new anti-freeze & radiator cap 16#. No other apparent damage. All good news, ready for final shakedown run be fore hitting the road when saw bubbling around the reservoir tank neck. Looks like I need a replacement reservoir.. Couldn't get parts list to open. What is the best replacement tank? 2005 Dep w/cummins thanks Drew S
  12. Washing the rad and maybe drain & flush was what we heading to do when this whole mess started. Sucks when you are not close to anything. Wikieup,Az
