  1. Ken, I know on mine their are shims that go either top or bottom of brkt that attaches slide cylinders to slide. Very basic adjustment. maybe some others have a different idea. bill
  2. My wife is interested in #1 and #3 we are not bringing a tow car so no driving for her.
  3. MODERATORS EDIT; NOTE. There were two identical posts made the same day….with different titles. That was only discovered this morning. Both have been merged into the one with the most activity. If any member finds such duplicates, please notify a Moderator. We will review and resolve. This one slipped through the cracks. Probably slide cylinders leaking. Look for hydraulic fluid on ground or in bays where cylinders are mounted.
  4. Their is great info on YouTube that shows you how to install. Easer than you would think. No running wires unless you want another monitor in the wet bay.
  5. Greg, Yes found it very easy. We have a 2000 Dynasty and I accessed the tanks on passenger side by unfastening door panel where tanks are located. Lots of YouTube videos about Sea Level.
  6. Replaced airbag yesterday and Motorhome is travel ready.
  7. You are right, previous owner had it replaced in 2011. I have no idea. What ever caused it to crack I won’t do it again. I just don’t know what the cause was. It’s been stored indoors most of it’s life.
  8. The only way to find Airbag part number was to remove airbag from Motorhome. I began lowering jacks to raise Rv, then set 2, 12 ton jack stands under rear frame. Removed wheel well cover and mud flap. Then battled with removing the 4 nuts that mount airbag to chassis. Final step remove air lines and fitting. Found part number on top of bag. Should arrive in 3 days. Thanks to all the help. Bill
  9. Went to move the Motorhome last week and saw it leaning port side. Tried dumping air still leaning. Started engine and aired up and it was worse. Did some investigation and found crack in rear rear airbag. Now I need to replace the bag. Trying to find a part number or what bag to purchase. It’s a RR8 chassis, 34’ Dynasty. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill
  10. We’re planning for our summer/fall trip and at the moment it will cost $170 extra for a tank of diesel. Hope things will settle down and prices come down by August. We will still go on our 5000 mile trip. Maybe it will be easer to find a campsite.
  11. More info: I did go through the hatch under bed. I have no bedroom slide so good access. jacwjames yes 22 years of use. Previous owner did not take good care of MH. We’ve put 38000 miles since 2013 when we purchased the RV. Some more photos.
  12. IT’S FIXED! Wow very excited, It’s now working This is what id did: 1. removed sensor with a deep socket 13/16. 2. Cleaned sensor with contact cleaner 3. hooked sensor to plug in connector 4. sprayed sensor with Electronic compressed gas (held can upside down) ice cold and had wife turn key to first position and click power to grids. Thanks to everyone Bill
  13. Here is another photo after spraying electrical contact cleaner.
  14. Ok I have found the Air Temp Sensor with a little help from everyone. Here is the info: jacwjames photo was it. proof: pwhittle was great help, trace down 2 issues at the gathering. 1. aux battery boost ( now fixed) 2. tracing down the wire to grid relay #31 and 41 for grid heaters I hope by replacing the old one that will fix the problem.
  15. Thanks Frank, Thats what I’m looking for “ intake Air Temp. Sensor”. ( or what triggers wires #41 and #31 on relays coming from ECM.) Also I’m not getting any codes that I haven’t caused by disconnecting wires. 1.“Wait to Start “ Works 2.ECM knows wire #41 and #31 are connected to heater grid relay. I know this because when I disconnected these two wires, a error code came up on silver leaf (code 237) plus warning light on dash. Hook the wires back up error is gone and warning light is off. 3. Hooked up power to where #41 and #31 wires are connected on grid heater relays and they engaged. I’m trying to understand what it is that tells ECM to engage grid heater relays. If it’s a sensor where is it and whats the part #? I able to start in cold weather the few times I need too by using block heater. I want to understand how it works. I don’t like the rough start and smoke when engine is cold and I forgot to turn on engine block heater or I’m dry camping. Maybe I’m not understanding about ambient pressure sensor to do with grid heater?
  16. I found it. Above lift pump. 😀 Now how can I check to see if it’s operating correctly? Thanks for the IRV2 forum link and to everyone, this has been a long journey. 7
  17. Jim, I’m not sure. Back to the Engine Room. I’ll look for the sensor above lift pump. Maybe disconnect and see error code on Silver Leaf if that can tell me also. Thanks
  18. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the air temp sensor. Found it just as jacwjames said. On the sensor 10703 number cross reference 4928386 part number. Quite pricey too. eBay has one for $249.00 ahhh. So I believe I have a bad temp. Sensor.
  19. That’s kind of where I going with my problem. I saw 3 senders and removed and spayed cleaner and reconnected. One of the plugs seemed damaged. I will go back and try to identify the sender
  20. The problem that I’ve experienced is rough to non starts in cold weather. I live in Florida so cold weather is not an issue here. But when we travel to other areas it will get cold and there is the problem. I’ve over come rough starts by turning on block heater and all is good. I’ve never heard the grid heater solenoids engage when key is turned and waiting for “wait to start” light goes out. I have hooked up power to solenoids and they do click and engage the grid heaters. Wire #41 and #31 which I traced back to the ECM on the engine. When I disconnected 41,& 31 and hooked up a hot wire everything works. Engine starts strong runs smooth. Now I have read different post where the grid heaters don’t engage until it’s 50 degrees and Rocketman3 suggests at 30 degrees. The ECM is recognizing the grid heater solenoids were disconnected send a warning to dash and silver leaf. This is the error screen on tablet that runs sliver leaf: ( warning light went off)
  21. The “wait to start” light comes on ever time during pre-start, but grid heaters never engage. It’s never worked since I bought the MH in 2013. I’ve used block heater to preheat engine prior to starting. Van Willams had this problem in 2015 and he checked all connections in engine room area which ended up resolving the problem. I clean engine room today so I have a “clean environment “ to start to trace down the connections. The temp here is not cold or cool so not sure how to confirm if it’s working. Thanks for the help. I will follow up with what I find so it might help some in the future.
  22. On my 2000 Dynasty 34 York Mh when starting, the grid heater solenoids are not engaged before starting. Wire #41 and #31 are not powering the relay. Trying to chase down where the wires go. Hopefully they could be disconnected or dirty and simple fix. I have a part#3408346 for Temp sensor for grid heaters. The photo shows wire #41 and #31 attached to grid heater relays. They exit through top of compartment. The engine starts easy because I live in Florida, but in cool or cold weather it’s not happy for about 60 seconds and I generally turn on block heater hours before starting to over come grid heaters not functioning. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill
