  1. First Get engine serial number off engine contact Cummins n get info on it manufacture date, HP etc. It may have been changed by previous owners. Fix exhaust leak, varify boos pressure gauge is correct, by installing a in line "T" n a manual gauge in eng compartment with a longer line so it can be temporarily located inside coach so someone call look at it on the rode to verify pressure. If you have to replace exhaust manifold if it's cracked or you break off a bolt? Soake all bolts for several days several times per day with penetrating oil "PB BLASTER" before attempting to lossen n retighten (Torgue) them . Might as well replace turbo too, verify turbo part # from Cummins per your installedengine's serial number. Turbos Direct is a good source for a factory Holset rebuilt turbo. Keep site updated on your progress n solution.
  2. If in doubt, Slide them in n go out for lunch/ movie until winds decreased
  3. Tom: When you complete this work could you share the size of the 2 windows and what the cost was and if you where happy with their work. Will they remove and reseal your existing glass panes or replace them with new glass? Thanks, Peter MARK When you complete this work could you share the size of the 2 windows and what the cost was and if you where happy with their work. Will they remove and reseal your existing glass panes or replace them with new glass?
  4. For me it's, use the coach engine Air system when pre inspecting coach prior to leaving or at stops on a trip. When stationary for a while I use a 120vac compressor. This allows me to NOT fill air bag's n not raise the coach, which is usually leveled or on the Jack's. 2004 Cayman.
  5. He will find out soon enough if it holds as a turbo can spin at 100,00 RPM, - Boom! Tolerances are key to staying together.

  7. I would restart with the 2 RV glass manufactures who specialize in Providing RV glass: Custom Glass Solutions plant is in Ohio and Coach Glass -RV Glass solutions is the installations side of their business Ask them for a qualified RV glass installer in your area - most are mobile services. Please don't use someone who is not familiar with RV glass installs. RVs age different Beasts from autos and trucks, as the front fiberglass cap can flex/twist and pop out windshields, even qualified persons have problems with certain RVs as they had and have issues and may need some " modifications to the opening to limit flex. most are RV mfg., and model specific The 2 gloss manufactures have customer service reps that have independent installers all over the USA and those reps and installers will know the industry suppliers and should be able to get your windshield gasket, *** don't forget to replace the rain gutter seal if yours has or had one one for the top of the seal as well
  8. AIR DUMP VALVES. On my 04 Cayman 34 ft, when I press the air dump switch on the drivers left side console it releases air (slowly) from the 4 air bags thru the 2 rear valves and 1 in the front Generator compartment on the firewall. I typically do this per the instructions, for my coach, for putting out slides, First, extend slides, then depress air dump and brake peddle to bleed air off the coach. It lowers, slowly as it takes several minutes +- 10 for this to bleed off. then you set leveling jacks ( this is how Monaco instructions for my coach with manual 3 point leveling system. also follow those plastic lines and fittings to check with soapy water if your system bleeds down. Note on the side of each valve is a small bleed port with a screen make sure it clean so the bleed off is not restricted. just another item to schedule on your " routine maintenance" items on theses Beasts! Happy Trails!
  9. Contact jim at source engineering in Oregon he worked for monaco so he has lots of contacts if they don't do what you need done.
  10. I was emailing with Jim at source engineering about my overheating issue and mentioned I saw your issue posted today. You should contact him today. He commented that: #1- the source fan should be direct drive not on an clutch or thermostatic fan. #2 make sure when the fan was installed with the blades centered in the shroud edge- top to bottom and left to right One more thing JIM mentioned to check is to make sure the source fan is not installed backwards! it should be pushing air to the outside of the rear radiator
  11. FIXED follow up - Cleaned all 5 electrical connectors on transmission and it has been working for the past 1000 miles. Thanks everyone this is a great source for fixen!
  12. The system runs on the high side in excess of 225 lbs so you want t o have the system tested in that range best with nitrogen as it is less expensive then testing with Freon and its a dryed air. On my Cayman the low and high switches where in the front cap the low was on the dryer attached my data plate and some generic RV cab a/c stuff Dash A_C Charge Amount 2003 Knight_ - AC, Heating, and Cooling - Bill D’s Monacoers.pdf
  13. First off you have to make sure you have the correct amount, weight or ounces, of refrigerant in the system. The pressures will neve be right if you just keep adding refrigerant , especially every year without fixing the leak source. that will also damage the system. The amount of refrigerant is listed on a label on the Ft dash A/c unit evaporator cover inside the front cap (generator area) passenger side. this refrigerant amount typically in oz's will vary per coach length / length of refringent lines. Pump down system with vacuum pump (or have a professional do it?) check for loss of vacuum over an hour +. if ok change dryer and charge system with Nitrogen n check for leaks its a loooong system so lots to check. I usually test it with nitrogen at 200 lbs if it holds for over an hour it usually good to go and then add the proper weight oz's of refrigerant. Note if the system has been closed, NO bokken lines,then you may not have to add any oil note the amount of compressor oils is a set amount per they system you have and size of rig. once you have the basics done then run the system and see if any other issues exist. these RV systems are big and tricky I find its not as simple as an autos A/C system and the pressures are way different and takes patience. Keep COOL!
