I had mine replaced a couple years ago. I took it to a diesel shop and they measured it and got a new one from a truck parts place. Total cost was a little over $4oo

Van,

I have a generic warning lite. It can be set by coolant temp, oil pressure, intake manifold temp, engine overspeed, and fuel temp. I suspect coolant temp because it only happens when temp gauge on dash goes up a few degrees. I may have to have the codes pulled by the diesel mechanic that I use.He charges one hour at $140/hr. There has got to be a second sensor for coolant to set a warning lite. I would like to hear your take on the warning lite.

Thanks

Low coolant sensor is wired to low coolant light on dash. It is not coming on. There has to be a second sensor on the engine wired directly to the ECM. therefore it would not show on Monaco wiring schematic. I know that there is also a separate sensor for oil pressure on the engine witch is wired to ECM. I need to find the sensor for coolant temp.

I am having a intermittent warning light on my 2000 Diplomat ISC8.3 315hp. My coolant temp is running at 189 degrees normal. When I climb a hill the temp  will climb to about 191 to193 degrees and the warning light may come on. Radiator is new and clean. Coolant level is OK. Wiring diagram shows coolant sensor going directly to dash gauge and not to ECM. Is there a second sensor on the engine wired to the ECM and if so where is it located on the engine ?

Try Jacks Diesel. Talk to Gerry. They do a lot of brake work.

I have a 2000 Dip with a ISC8.3 Engine. 30 quarts of antifreeze files my system. I would recommend replacing all old antifreeze and fill with new which has SCA already mixed in.

I have heard that Monaco had a contract With Freightliner to build chassis for the Monaco Knight. Did they build the same chassis as a RR4R or was it a modified Freightliner Chassis ?

I have a 2000 Diplomat 40ft and replaced the Norcold about 6 years ago. I installed a Whirlpool and lowered the floor down to 1 inch above the furnace. No problems with furnace.  Bob U

I use a FS19738 primary fuel filter which requires a bowl on the bottom. MH came from from factory with RAC S3201T. I bought 2000 Dip new from Lazydays/

Bob U

Why don't you look at the primary fuel filter and copy down the number on filter.

The old adage stands. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles YOU.

The lift pump only runs for about 30 to 45 seconds then shuts down until the next time you cycle the ignition switch.

Custom Glass Solutions is probably your best solution. Phone number 1-855-3622784. They are advertised in FCMA mag. They got me a new windshield gasket for my 2000 Dip and had it installed by Express Glass here in Atlanta.

Bob, is that our buddy on Canton Rd?

Hey Scott. Yes it is. Jacks Diesel

I have a shop nearby that cleans them with a steam cleaner.

I have several repaired over the years. They have a sheet metal shop make a new skin. They copy the old skin. Painting it to match will be the hardest to do.

I had my lift pump replaced recently because of a leak. Turns out the return fuel line going to the fuel tank was leaking at the connector. I have the old pump and you are correct the return line goes directly thru the pump casting. There are four sets of holes in the pump of which two sets are plugged. It must be a multi  use pump. The pump itself only only runs for 45 seconds and    then fuel passes on thru. The return lines are on top and fuel line from primary filter are on the side.

I replaced the front shocks on my 2000 Dip in 2012 with Bilstein shocks. The p/n 24-187336. I bought them from Anderson & Stiehie, Inc. Go to sales@shox.com.

They knew what I needed. They ride very well.

 I had a fuel leak in the lift pump 2 years ago and I tightened the 3 bolts and leak went away.When it started leaking  again I had the lift pump replaced. A little over $1,000. Still had a leak at the pump. Turns out the connector on the fuel line that comes out of pump sending fuel back to the tank was leaking all over the lift pump. Replaced connector and all is good. Thought you would like to know the fix.

Bob U

Thanks a lot Ken. There is a lot of good info in that pdf.

Bob U

Thank you Ken. This is exactly what I wanted. Where did you obtain the drawings ?

Bob U

The problem is not fixed only diagnosed. I want to know where the other end of the fuel hose goes. There are 6 hoses hooked to the lift pump. I am curious as to where they go. Pretty sure which one is leaking, but not positive.

Have a fuel leak at the lift pump. 2 years ago tightened bolts on top and leak went away. Well it came back so I had the lift pump replaced. Turns out the

lift pump was not leaking, but a fuel  line was leaking near the pump. Does anybody have a diagram of fuel system on RR8 chassis ?

The salesman solenoid on my 2000 Dip is located in the front bay under drivers side

That box is a converter box using diodes to combine the turn signal and brake light for your tow vehicle . The MH has separate lites for brake and turn signal therefor 3 circuits versus 2 for the t ow vehicle. You can buy  them at any auto parts store.

I live in the Atlanta area. Last year when my muffler rusted out I went to Jacks Diesel and Truck Service in Marietta, Ga. They got an exact fit from a truck Parts place and installed it for about $400 out the door. I have a 2000 Dip.
