We're looking to relocate the satellite receiver from the front of our 2008 Diplomat SKQ to mid-coach. Plan would be to run the coax down into the cabinet to the left of the TV location as in the clip. Has anyone done this and if so, any clue as to what is in the ceiling space?

Would anyone have information/part numbers/manufacturer on 2008 Monaco Diplomat marker/running lights? Looking to replace them. What we have is two-wire. Thanks all. Harald G. Weyrich

Understood. Thank you!

Exhaust Brake:

Thanks 96 for getting back to us. It's all black. Monaco is a 40 SKQ with 400 ISL. By DPF, are you referring diesel particulate filter? It has one.

Still have no resolve on this issue. Does anyone out there have a 2008 Diplomat and if so, the downloaded ECM codes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Frank: I called him yesterday to verify the change out and all he could do was cry about having put in the new ECM at his expense. He did not bother to download the software from the old unit so we're in the "out of lick" category as he sent it back to collect the core charge. I try to be very Christian about his performance..... Five-Star is confident they can get it from a similar unit and with 11 locations, it may not be too difficult. Thank you.

Thank you Frank. Apparently my previous mechanic did all he could to make life as difficult as he possible could and made no effort to update the ECM before sending the old one back to collect the core charge. We'll definitely make it a point to collect and retain the correct info when FiveStar gets it all together. They are looking to see if they can get their hands on an identical unit to scarf up the parameters. Hope all is well and thanks. Thanks. Had we only known!

Would that be Frank McElroy? It is at FiveStar Freightliner in Dothan and they have been in contact with Cummins. Unit runs and the ECM was installed by the previous mechanic but the parameters not updated. Apparently lines are being crossed.

Karen and I are still working on getting the 2008 Diplomat with the 400ISL, Allison Transmission and Roadmaster chassis fuel system resolved. Last mechanic crapped out on us and said he could not resolve it so we took the unit up to Five-Star Freightliner in Dothan, AL and the managed to resolve what turned out to be leaks in the fuel rail. Everyone up there was great but it seems our passion for these older Monacos means nothing is that simple. The previous mechanic replaced the ACM in an effort to resolve any issues that may have been caused by faulty program parameters. He left the new one in as I understand they return the old one to recover core charges. Unfortunately, he failed to source the ACM parameters and we are now looking to see if anyone may have the source addresses for the engine brake (exhaust brake, not Jake), all cruise control functions, service brake switch and the park brake and other functions that would be helpful. Five-Star is also looking for the rear end ratio and although we tried to get any and all information available for our unit from Rev, they claimed they have no info at all. FIve-Star is convinced they should have it and will attempt to follow up with Rev tomorrow on this last issue. With the Covid thing and our efforts to complete rebuilding from Hurricane Michael from 2018, we'd be fortunate just to get the coach running with the hope of getting back out on the road again for a weekend or twenty! Thanks for taking the time to read this and God bless you all!

Frank: Karen had snapped this when we first brought it in. I'm thinking it's the PRV on the fuel rail but I'm no mechanic. Thank you for all the suggestions/recommendations.

Good thought. The warning light comes on even when stopped. The lift and high pressure pumps are new and he's verified them more than once. He's verified the fuel lines for blockages and leaks, the tank vent, the injectors and changed the PCM. The good thing is he's determined to resolve this on his dime.

Noted Joel. Going uphill does not exacerbate the problem. It happens on a flat run when he goes to accelerate. Thanks for the input Bob. He and I have changed both filters on numerous occasions and well aware of both of them. We always carry spares as well.

Thanks. I will pass it on.

NO and I do not have a repair person on line....
