    I was replying to the 02 Endeavor owner's manual post. My 05 AMB was the first year on the Roadmaster 8 airbag chassis which was carried over from 04 Endeavor. My owner's manual says I have a coolant filter but it was eliminated by the EPA. Holiday Rambler never changed that in the carryover of the 04 owner's manual. No telling how far back that owner's manual goes. Gary 05 AMB DST

    Thanks Paul A. Guess that means that 2010 was the first model year for Navistar. A date to remember. Gary 05 AMB DST

    Just a thought. Wasn't the the 2008 models built by Navistar? Gary 205 AMB DST

    My 05 HR Ambassador uses motor oil not automatic transmission fluid. Gary 05 AMB DST

    My 05 Ambassador has the small, round halogen(?) style headlights. A couple of the lens have cracks and water is getting into the bulb. I know there is a site with upgrade light bulbs but what are the lens from? I believe they screw on. Gary 05 AMB DST

    Good improvising. It needs a filter to remove moisture from the air before it gets into the tanks. The engine mounted compressor uses the desiccant filter in the motorhome to keep moisture out. Gary 05 AMB DST

    I hung an electronic rodent repeller in the engine compartment with a power cord from the rear bathroom through the engine access panel. I also have a repeller inside by the front door and one in the rear bathroom. I did this to keep squirrels out of the engine compartment and chewing the wires. I haven't noticed a problem in 10 years as I knock on wood. Gary 05 AMB DST

    I had that problem on my 05. If they used rivets, they are riveting the two fiberglass panels. There is no metal structure at that point. Those are probably aluminum rivets I couldn't see where this is happening. On mine it was the front assembly. Gary 2005 AMB DST

    Steve, The oil change techs hate those shields. After one change, years ago, the tech just pulled it down and bent it. Didn't know till after. What I did was remove it and put hinges on that section of the shield below the filter. They just have to remove the one bolt and the shield goes down to give them access. I have received many compliments since then on how easy it made their job. Gary 05 AMB DST

    Just had a member of the ranblinpushers tell us that his wastegate froze and now he lubricates that also. Where is the wastegate? Thanks Gary 05 AMB DST

    I don't remember the torque for the wheels from one of my tours of the Elkhart chassis factory in the second half of the 2000 decade. 200 ft lbs seems to be in my head. But I do remember that a young man torqued them with a very long torque wrench. He let me try it and I couldn't get the torque wrench to click. I was 6' 3", 240 lbs and it was a slap in the face.

    There is a filter in the fluid container that might need replacement. My 05 uses WIX 51487 or NAPA 1487. I'm starting to see a pattern in the part numbers.

    My 05 Ambassador owners manual calls it hydraulic fluid and uses 15w-40 motor oil. Gary 05 AMB DST 05 was the year that the Ambassador was moved to the 8 air bag platform like the Endeavor's.

    Rik, Did you have an aluminum roof? How did you prep it? Gary 05 AMB DST towing my 2003 Honda Pilot, 233,000 mi LOL

    I had that problem 10 years ago. The cause was the factory caulking at the top had dried from being out in the sun for 5 years. Never checked it. Checking the caulking should be another annual maintenance. I'm sure Mr. Throgmartin will be replying soon. He is a good teacher plus a former Marine. Gary 05 AMB DST

    I know it's too late for you, but I took a picture of mine years ago and downloaded it. Gary 05 AMB DST

    I think to remove the inner panel, you have to remove the window. Gary 05 AMB DST

    I've always wondered what is behind the rear cap that they attach to. Is there any way see it? Gary 05 AMB DST

    I would clean all the connections first. It looks very dirty. Gary 05 AMB DST

    The last compartment just has a plastic floor. The battery compartment is constructed to carry the weight' Gary 05 AMB DST
