Yep Son in law

I am surprised that you haven't had problems with those Bosh Calipers swelling up with moisture. They were owners on the old MCOA and Monicores that had lots of problems including my SNL with them and at the time the only solution was changing the brake fluid each year to keep the moisture out of fluid. Some coaches even had them to catch fire including my SNL.

I would replace the brake fluid each year in the Bosh calipers by doing a complete flush to solve the moisture problem. on the CAC & radiator clean Job it can be cleaned by using a Soap mixture to clean procedure that Tom posted years ago on the other forum i think it was Dawn and Simple Green, you should do a complete flush to get all of the simple green of of the CAC . When i had a 99 Diplomat i would wash the radiator by filling a 1 gallon sprayer with simple green & Dawn (protect the Altanator) first start the engine using the fan to shove water through both cac and rad then spray with the soap mixture of Dawn and S G ( wont hurt to rive the engine up to make sure it all the way through if its a stack system as was in the 99 Dip)then let it set for 15 to 20 min . Do this again if its really bad. Then flush with clear water real good using the engine fan to help clean off all gunk and soap.

Dan it will be only one air dryer on your coach.

Pressure pop valve or PSV pressure sensing valve to relieve the pressure when the pressure gets to high.

Chuck you are so wrong with that statement and i think you know you are. Walt

Wow That is a giveaway price Scotty .

I have the low pressure 38 to 40 on a 90 degree days and be sure to have a shop fan on the condenser or the high pressure will get to high on the coaches with the condenser in the radiator stack. Your total amount of 134 will depend on the length of the coach.

John that is where this forum excels , if they are new to the RV word this forum is a excellent place to get educated on the how and when.

And have the ride height set , if you dont know the ride height do a search or check the files. You should also Have a dash ground bar behind the dash or on the fire wall and it is a known problem most owners clean the wires and tighten the screws. if raising the front solves the problem then that is where i would start, the wire looms are generally run through a 2 inch pvc pipe from the rear axle to the front just behind the front axle.

I hear you David I really don’t know if they did but anyway my 2000 dyn is as I stated and my 99 Dip about the same.

With all air out sitting on bump stops and the ride height is correct I went out and checked at the steps out no air 7 1/2 in aired up in travel mode 11 inches, David your skirts could be different than mine but I don’t think that that it’s that much difference in the belly height about 6 ft in front of the rear duals. Not trying to be difficult but it’s just not the big deal that is posted time and again. check your step reading I would be interested in knowing your measurements I know you have a late 90s Dyn but don’t remember the year.

David sorry to say not so on the 2000 dyn the skirt is best i remember about 9 or 10 inches of clearance and the coach bottom 2 x were 11 or 12 inches of clearance as we have had this discussion many times on the old Monacoers web site in fact Bill B wanted to put life insurance on me because i was always working on my coach without jacks. It’s on a couple places that I’m aware of the gen exhaust and the steps when out that can mash me .

Dave i also used the Brakemaster on 6 different toads until i decided to give it a go on installing a M&G but of course you cant use the M&G on just any vehicles but the hook up is so easy.

I would also suggest the M&G system one of the simplest and best systems out there and not that hard to install, i have installed one on a 2013 F150 and a 2017 Ram their is nothing to wear out in the M&G except the big O ring and i dont think you will ever be able to wear it out. Toms suggestion on buying a rebuilt system is spot on it can save a few hundred dollars, https://m-gengineering.com/compatibility-list/ Talk to Monty he is easy to deal with.

The HR Endeavor coaches were on Freightliner chassis until 2000 when they changed over to a Monaco chassis some time in 2000. The procedure for setting the ride heigh was changed in the early 2000 from the H frame to the air bag , its not clear the date of the change but i think between 03 and 04 ? I know for sure the 1999 Dip and 2000 Dyn use the H frame to main frame figures for adjustment.

Yes John and Bill Fauber a RoDger made all the arrangements it was Coushatta Casino just north east of Lake Charles ( Fauber is not doing well now) it was just before the Frog Rally at Raine la put on by Monaco. Rodger put a get together the next year at the Paragon Casino in Marksville La about south east of Alexandra La. Both of these have a large RV park also Hollywood Casino in Bay St Luis MS has a largeRV park. John i have been staying busy gardening and paying with my Tractors and going to the Auto Auction on Thursdays at my advance age we dont use the Coach a lot but i keep it serviced and ready to go if needed. It was so good to here from you John and i hope you are doing well. Walt

Hi John so nice to see a post from you, i also agree with your suggestion but dont think it any thing will come from it. I like Louisiana or Arkansas also walter H or walt2137

Ward the protective cap on a oil drain is not really not important that i can see as i dont save the used oil and the sand cant enter the pan but i do understand not trusting it on the ISM engine because it does hang awful low and i sure wouldn't trust it . Walt

Thanks Scotty and everyone else who helped to keep the old Colonel Monacoers RV site going , i sure miss him. walt

I have had one for years, the little valve arm is spring loaded on my valve and has to be raised up in order to open it, i have never had a problem on our ISC engine. I do remember a post years ago on one of our old members with a ISM after fueling up he damaged the valve exiting the truck stop by dragging the rear of the engine luckily he checked before going down the road as oil was running out of the engine. walt
