  1. Disconnect batteries at their terminals. Shutting off main disconnect doesn't kill all power. I also recommend unplugging engine and transmission ECMs to isolate them from voltage spikes.
  2. Very odd, on all my vehicles including 2001 Monaco executive the fogs are only on with low beams. Are your headlights plugged in to the proper plugs and in the right cavities? I've seen instances where body shops reversed the bulbs.
  3. I use these on my 2001 Executive and my 2017 Dodge Caravan. They work well so far for over 2 years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K43XKDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  4. You may be correct. I just check the ESN on the Cummins Quickserv app and the turbo type says "wastegate". So maybe the wastegate isn't working correctly? Thoughts?
  5. I have a 2001 Executive with an ISM 500 in it. 26K miles on it. I bought it with the red warning light on. It drove ok but was obviously derating. I determined that the ambient air pressure sensor was bad and replaced it which shut off the warning light. I also replaced the temp sensor and the manifold pressure sensor. Today I took it for a shake down ride and the performance is notable improved. I noted that the boost pressure was pinning the 30 lbs gauge when I accelerated hard. I never noticed the boost pressure going past 25 before the sensor changes. Question, is it possible that I'm seeing an overboost condition? I know I have a VGT but I'm not sure how to diagnose turbo problems. I'm concerned that I'll trash the engine if I don't look further. Thanks in advance for your time and advice.
  6. I looked up code 111 on the Cummins app and it says it's due to internal failure of ecm circuits or supply voltage. Interesting that you say the engine still runs as the app says condition is a no start. I'm a retired auto mechanic and IMHO if it runs with good oil psi and normal temp, I'd drive it without worries. Hope that helps. Good luck.
  7. Try spraying soapy water on the assembly then look for frothing spot to indicate a leak. If the leak is really small it may take a few minutes to reveal itself. Johnny
  8. Sounds like the box gear adjustment is too tight. If the gear box is tight, the system wouldn't return or center. Gear box should be set for zero backlash, no more.
  9. Hi, I removed diamond shield from a 2005 intruder. I did the job whilst in Florida because you must have warm temps. I used a heat gun to soften the film and then sliced off strips with a plastic chisel that I bought from Amazon. Then I used citrus solvent to soften glue, using the same scraper to get most glue off, then paper towels to get the rest. You have to go slow and cover the ground under your work area. It's tedious and slow. Took me 3 days. There is a company in Florida that charges 1200 for removal. Next time I take it to him. Lesson learned.
  10. Oem belt is on ebay. Dated 2020 so it's not old stock. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fp%2F510928574
  11. Thanks for all your input. Trouble turned out to be the barometric pressure sensor. Put in the updated version and voila, warning light is OUT!
  12. MiniTX is a transmitter of some kind. Probably pulled out of the case. Sorry if that's not much help.
  13. I just bought 8 Michelins using the FMCA program. I bought from Barnwell House of Tires in NY. Barnwell said that their inventory of tires is very low so there were few choices in the size I wanted. They said that they had 100 tires on order from Bridgestone for over 6 months and waiting.
  14. Poop seals really well too. No one but me ever sees up on my roof. Life is short, don't sweat the details.
  15. Try this https://rtrvg.com/blog/2017/07/22/used-rv-parts-and-salvage-yards-by-state/
  16. Sounds like a problem with the power going to the switches. Check the switch and the connections to it. LED lights are voltage sensitive so a weak connection will drop the voltage and make the lights cut off. I hope this helps.
  17. Thanks John, interesting. Do you know the fault code number and the new part number by chance?
  18. I just bought a 2001 Executive. I noticed a red "warning" light was always on. The previous owner said it had been on for years and nobody knew why. The owners manual eluded to a possible low fluid condition but I find everything is full. Anyone have this light on their rig? My coach has a Cummins ISM 500 and I can't identify a troubleshooting method to zero in the cause of the light. I checked for DTCs and there are none. I checked the wiring diagram and see that the "warning" light is triggered by the engine ECM. The coach runs well. I drove it home 350 miles no issues. Thanks in advance.
