Hypoxia

Started the coach for a fuel run, no air.  Fortunately I could hear an air leak coming from the compressor governor so I ran to Inland Kenworth and purchased a replacement ($15).  An hour later I had air!

Never seen a drag link that needed to be disconnected to adjust.
Either they have threaded ends on each end, or a dual threaded sleeve with a pinch bolt or jam nut.
There needs to be a way to adjust it in small increments, not a full turn at a time.

Since the drag link has a specific shape to eliminate interference, the tie rod end is crimped on to insure it won't come loose and rotate.  I split the sleeve on mine, replaced the ball joint and welded it back together.  A machine shop could also replace the ball joint for much less $$ than a new drag link.

oops

I use pieces of pipe in the suspension.  Lift the coach as high as the air will go and put these in.

Hello All !  Me again! 

Trying to run the Sanicon Flush system for the first time. Is this handle in the Gray Flush or the Black Flush position?? 

Grey

72,000 miles; 2 Tie rod ends & a drag link, Wow, must not have ever seen grease?

It was just a coincidence that I heard the leak using shop air.  It may have been a slow leak that turned into a large leak or possibly a diaphragm ruptured at that point in time.

I considered a rebuilt one but the ISX guys convinced me to get a new Holset.  If it saves a problem while travelling it's worth it but we'll never know about that now.

Jim, Where is the actuator located?  That thing is sure expensive.

Curbside under the compressor on the ISX.

I aired up the coach with shop air and heard an air leak from 20' away.  It was the Holset Turbo Actuator  Air Control Valve 3770742 .  Inland Kenworth had it in stock so a couple of hours later and a much lighter wallet that leak has been resolved.  Who knows how long it was a small leak and in an inaccessible spot that I probably would have never discovered it. 

It's called a Data Card.  Mine is attached.  Rev has it but just doesn't want to help pre-bankruptcy owners.

 The Surge Guard Transfer Switch model that does communicate with the Aladdin System is model 40450-RVC.

That got my attention.  Does anyone here have that connected to Aladdin?

So I talked to Maryville Marine where I purchased the 40350-RVC3 about the 40450-RVC3. He said they both say they communicate withe RV. So he emailed the factory tech to ask him. Waiting to here back. 

Thanks again for your help.

I have a 40350-RVC and can tell you it will NOT communicate with Aladdin.  You will need to install the Southwire remote monitor as well as a new communication wire to that remote.

It's a time consuming job as there are somewhere around 2 million screws that have to be removed.  Hopefully your Signature has the generator on a slide out for access.  I bought everything from Cummins and replaced some parts as preventative maintenance.

Here is a list of parts I replaced on my HDKCB Spec B:

It would help to see a photo.  Perhaps a previous owner made an "improvement".

I doubt a 2007 had the 600D.  It was what I installed when we replaced our OEM AH AHE-100-04S in 2014.  Probably had the AHE-100-04S or AHE-130-04X.

My 2007 Signature has the AquaHot 600D so there's a good chance the Executive had it.

Most connectors on Monaco’s are TE/AMP Mate-N-Lok connectors.

Post a picture of it and we can try to identify the part number.

Mine has a combination of those and Mate-N-Lok II

TE Connectivity Universal Mate-N-Lok       Digi-Key Mate-N-Lok 

The Espar units I see are very low BTU compared to AquaHot.  What was done to cure that?

Those with Aqua-Hot model 600D are the only ones where you may be able to keep the boiler fluid hot with just the electric assist because that model has TWO electric assist heating elements versus all other models only have one.

My first thought when someone has questions or makes statements about Aqua-Hot is "Which Model?"  Each Aqua-Hot model is capable of different amounts of heat.  The AHE-100 is 50,000 BTU, the 400 series is 56,000 BTU, the 600 Series is 64,000 BTU and the 675 Series is 72,000 BTU.  The 100 & 400 models have one 1650 watt electric element.  Each of the two electric elements on the 600D are 2000 watts & the 675D has one 2000 watt element and one 4500 watt element.

I bought a pair of Oreillys Super Start rv marine batteries.   They don’t advertise a cranking amp but they do say 120 minutes at 75 amp

There are deep cycle batteries which are what you want for house batteries.  There are marine starting & deep cycle batteries which are not what you want for the house.  A dual purpose battery is not a true deep cycle battery.  Crown Article - Start vs Deep Cycle Marine Battery

250 a day, no more than two days driving before at least a day or two off.  May be less on narrow mountain roads.

If I had a Shoreline reel I would get a spare gear from John just for insurance!

Thanks Ivylog, that will help if mine breaks!
