If you have a Cummins engine contact the. With your engine serial #. Ther typically several small hoses around the engine that should be replaced as well. The hoses from engine to Radiator n back to engine are typically supplied by coach manufacturers, so.e ca.e be standard industry hoses and or random lengths of stock hose lengths. Just make sure they are coolant hoses not fuel. Also the marine industry suppliers can have them as well.

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.

If in doubt, Slide them in n go out for lunch/ movie until winds decreased

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?

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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!

Welcome. Great way to show her North America n u can dead head to work from almost anywhere. X National Airlines/ pan am A & P

VOLTAGE IS GOOD THANKS

Note: I tried to retrieve codes per Tom Cherry's resent response July 15 2023 post of Shanners Mechanics life u tube viedo, but it never showed any codes?

2004 Monaco Cayman 34pdd 5.9 engine. While traveling today on Interstate 15 NB N of Ogden UT at about 68 MPH in Economy mode there was a downshift into 4th and it would never go back to 5th gear. NO Check Trans light or other service lights on, Tried manually shifting up n down or pressing D to go back intro D 5 or Economy MODE on n off several times (NOTE:MODE light does go on n off as it should when cycling into Economy mode) . Basically cycling it thru all the shifts no help. stopped repeated same, nothing, again turned coach off for several minuets no help. Fluid level and temperatures normal. Had to drive the last 40 miles to Lava Hot Springs in 4th gear at 55 MPH. So any Suggestions? None of my coaches manuals Monaco or Allison discuss how or if possible to retrieve any codes- just says call Allision customer service, which I will do in the AM. Also anyone know of any good Coach trans service shops in Pocatello ID?

Just an FYI a looks like most of your electrical connections are corroded, so you may want t o go thru all your connectors and grounds and clean them up and seal them so you can avoid lots of issues in the future. And yes there are many! One step at a time - Pay me now of or pay me latter

JIM DID YOU GET MY E MAIL AND CELL # ?

Jim I sent you a e mail with my cell # call me in am I have some info and a new brake line had to find part issue as well

2004 Monaco Cayman 34 ft w/ R4R Chassis. Brakes failed driving into Emission test facility YAKES!!! - used Emergency air Parking brake to stop, get the test (Passed) and drive across the street to investigate the issue further -THAT WAS EXCITING! What I found was that the threaded rod on the brake pedal linkage that goes thru the firewall into the hydro - Max booster had come undone at the pedal. the rod threads into a arm at least 1 1/2 inches into the arm at the pedal/ brake switch and has a jamb nut as well, to supposedly, prevent it from unscrewing. Evidently over the past 5 years and 35,000 plus miles I have owned this fine coach it worked its way out, SUGGEST YOU ALL CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS AS WELL. I Reinstalled it using a thread lock sealant and added a lock washer. Unfortunately I did not get a pic of the pedal linkage nor the leak at the bottom of the matting surfaces of the master cylinder (the hose is hiding it), however the rear brake reservoir area was very low and the front was full. Filled it up cleaned area static tested it and drove a bit and it is still slowly leaking when you depress the pedal. SUGGESTIONS :? I assume, as it is 19 yrs old and 112,000 miles, the complete Hydro-Max Booster, Emergency elect pump and Master cylinder assembly should be rebuilt ? OR replaced w/ new. However i assume its just the Master Cylinder since its just the brake fluid that leaking and not the power steering fluid section ? What is a good source for the parts or shop for rebuilding? I am in the Phoenix, AZ area THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU ASSISTANCE Peter Also now I have a leak coming from the mating surfaces between the Hydro-Max brake Booster and the master Cylinder

can you confirm the o ring kit you used please

Call Freightliner!. So back in October 2021 I needed the exhaust Manifold and bolts for my 2004 5.9, 300 HP Cummins. after my turbo blew and cracked the header. Cummins by far was NO help at all. Waste of time! They told me they did not know when they would get one in and it could be a year out ( The old COVIDI / supply issue excuse). A mechanic in Cortez Colorado told me to contact Freightliner in Farmington NM. Well, it turned out that Freightliner had in stock, just on the west coast, 8 in stock and would ship out right away Tucson had 3 California has 2 and another state had at least 2 IN STOCK which BTY they purchase from Cummins! AND t was the same cost as Cummins quoted it would be. Good hunting
