  1. Known failures even at low mileage. My vote is change it. Three bolts to remove since you will have the belt off. I went with the Cummins oem pump although I wasn’t as smart as you I changed it on the road after failure.
  2. I have the same layout. Do you have trouble with your shower draining? I can’t seem to get mine to drain no matter how much work I do from above. Can’t figure out how to get to the plumbing to see if it can be taken apart.
  3. Dang, I forgot about this post until now. Did he ever sell this?
  4. Do we know it works? I am in central AL and mine currently works but always looking for spare stuff.
  5. I have sort of a similar issue. Sometimes even with full air pressure, the buzzer/beeper will go off like it has low pressure when I first disengage the air park brake and put it in gear. It will go off for anywhere from 15 seconds to 5 minutes and eventually will stop. Other times it will just come on. What I have found odd is if I disengage the air park brake, let off of the brake pedal and make the beeper go off a couple of times, it won't come on when I put in gear and let out of brake. It's like sometimes it gets reversed on what engages the alarm. Sometimes when it is going to mess up it will beep and go off when I push the brake. But on my last trip I made sure to push the park brake button, let out on brake and even let the coach roll a little, then push the brake, put it in gear, then let out on the pedal and no alarm. Worked almost every time. Weird, but something is getting crossed up/confused on what tells it to activate the alarm.
  6. I used them in my old Ford gas burner RV. The trick is just knowing how much to use. It’s a guessing game. I have always been curious how they work. I went to a vibration analysis school one time and I asked the instructor, who is a well renowned vibration specialist, how they would possibly work. He had never heard of them, but he suspected they worked because automobile designers design the first critical of a suspension to occur at about 30 mph. The phase angle shifts 180 degrees after going through the first critical, which would put “light” side toward the outside of the orbit so to speak. The beads would then find their way there. Interesting anyway.
  7. Unfortunately, mine come off without me doing anything if I don't latch them. I assume from the comment yours aren't like mine and just lift off the track.
  8. I have the same or at least similar problem depending on when it occurs for you. I have not had time to dig into it but my alarm activates when I put it in gear at times. I have found if I push the brake and release the parking brake and wait 5 seconds or so before putting in gear that it is much less likely to keep wailing away. May just be coincidental but I don't think so, I think there seems to be some connection to whatever pressure switch activates the buzzer and giving it time to fully trip. If I don't wait, it will come on and sometimes I have gone 5 or 10 miles down the road before it quits, which luckily up to now it eventually quits.
  9. Well at least you had a good game to attend today, better than last week.
  10. I don't have my flush set up that way, only hook up the flush when I dump. Must just be missing the leak by when it is happening. Hail State? Where are you in Alabama? I go back and forth from my place in Mississippi to my fiance in Bham area. We have to find a place soon, I don't think the neighbors like me parking a 40' bus in the street when I am in it at her place!
  11. Thanks for the replies. The other thing I have thought is maybe it is intermittent on one of the valves leaking by and I am just not catching it. I may just rebuild everything and see if it fixes it. Thanks again.
  12. I looked through all 8 viewable pages of the water systems section and I didn't see anyone with my specific issue. If I leave the pump on a good bit of the time over a weekend the black tank will fill up. When I first experienced it after purchasing the coach last year I thought oh this should be easy. I have the model with the middle bathroom and the rear macerator type . I just figured one of the two had a leaking by water valve. I can't find any leakage, I mean none. Where else could water be coming from? Really has me stumped.
  13. Thanks. I have a friend who loves having an excuse to 3D print something. I see above you said you would share the file. I will see if he can print a few for me.
  14. What exactly are you all talking about? Sorry if I am asking an obvious question. Only owned my coach for a year so have never heard of this. Are these the little pieces in the lower rails of the windows?
  15. Well it says mini breaker, not fuse. The other possibility is the relay that interrupts power if ignition is on. If you can find the relay you can check pin 87a that power is output to the controller, rules out power supply issue. If no power on 30 then back check to the breaker.
  16. That’s a lot of R134 but it still sounds like you don’t have enough gas in the system. At 95° I would expect over 300 head pressure and the low side in the 40s or 50s, I’d have to look at the chart to be sure. Keep us posted.
  17. One of the Dodge Cummins forums says they are M8x1.25x22 on a 2004.5 model. One of the other diesel truck forums says M8x1.25x20. Torque calculator on Fastenal site says dry torque of 18.8 ft-lbs and 14.1 ft-lbs if lubricated if it is a grade 8.8 and the values are 26.9 dry/20.2 lubricated if a grade 10.9.
  18. My 2004 Endeavor did not have a trailer brake wire in the rear plug. There were 6 wires; left/right turn signals, ground, brake light, reverse light, and power. No brake wire. I had to run one from one end to the other. That is quite a task. On my old Tiffin gas burner I was able to run inside the frame, but on these it is impossible to do so due to the construction of the bottom storage. I was able to run a wire along the passenger side engine, to the LP gas area, crossed to the left side at the water/sewer area, then along the upper inside edge of the storage, thru the upper fuel door area, then back toward the center along other harnesses and then thru the front fire wall. Picked up power and the signal from the brake light relay in the lower power panel and ran in the firewall with the brake wire. Seems to work fine after that ordeal.
  19. After reading this thread, I just knew I could find my plug. No dice. I took the panel at left knee out and searched, nothing. Pulled the shifter panel out just to make sure. Nothing. Removed the trim pieces around steering column, nothing. Removed the instrument panel, dug through all of those wires, nothing. I spent 3 or 4 hours digging for nothing. I am going to try a tic tracer or cable tracker for one last hurrah and if that doesn't get it, I am going to just run a two pair to the rear and go with that, I am over it. Really frustrating that Monaco didn't take the extra minute or two that it would have taken to mark this one harness that would commonly be used by owners.
  20. I know the information won't be available anywhere, but would be interesting to know the DOT date code of the tires. Only one item to consider, obviously inflation pressure, load, load rating, etc can be a contributor, but running tires past their useful life seems to be a common issue.
  21. I am not sure if you will run into this or not, but on my father's 99 Diplomat (ISB) the radiator would not come out the rear without trimming the fiberglass slightly. I assume they originally sat the cap around it, or brought in from below, but it would not come out. It wasn't monumental, but there was indeed some trimming that had to be done that didn't affect the structural rigidity in my opinion. I can't recall because this was several years ago, but I may have put some of it back in place. But I can tell you, if you have ever had oil leaks that made it's way to the radiator, it certainly was helpful to get the radiator out and the shroud off and clean it 100%.
  22. Unless you put beer in the tires with your air or pure nitrogen, they'll be the same since they both pretty much follow the ideal gas laws. Have another beer and Cheers!
