  1. Yes, dust happens. You can get a couple of air filters from Walmart or your local hardware store. They do help. My sinuses tell me they help. If you think it's bad were your at you should try Arizona sometime. Lol
  2. We live in Gilbert, basically the greater Phoenix aera.
  3. Looking for recommendations for a shop that can do painting and or flooring? In Arizona.
  4. Here's what I just learned. My brother just explained this to me. It’s for an ISC or a ISL engine.. you have a B- 5.9 liter engine. Also a whole different fuel system. Won’t work for your set up. The pump that JD posted won't work for my engine.
  5. Darn, won't download. Thanks for the information. Will have to look at that. Cummins is getting a pump to me tomorrow. I hope. I'm going to proceed with my old pump, but at least I have a spare incase of a major failure. The labor was ridiculous.
  6. Yes I noticed it leaking onto the ground. Not supper bad. I decided to get the pump for a little insurance. Better safe than sorry. I have about 600 miles to go without a major town near by. The leak is not very bad right now. Hope it holds till I get home. Cummins labor estimate finely came through $850 labor & shop supplies, just about shit my pants. Total bill very close to $1,300.
  7. Has anyone had to change the fuel transfer pump. Ours is leaking. I ordered one from Cummins $$$ pricey little bugger. $480 + tax & shipping. Been trying all day to get a price for labor with no luck. So it looks like I will have to do it myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated. If you happen to know a mechanic in Farmington NM. Send me his number. 🙃👍 Going on the 3rd night at Sam's Club parking lot.
  8. Thanks ,we found what yiu were talking about and got the slid in. It is a lippert. Thanks
  9. Trying to help out a couple who are stuck in a Walmart parking lot. He has a 2008 Holiday Rambler Vacationer XL. 34ft. His living room slide is hydraulic. He has 13.5 volts to the solenoid. When we hit the switch to move it in or out you can the solenoid click but the pump motor won't engage. The Reservoir is full. We have haunted all over for a way to manually move the slide in, but to no avail. Any ideas on how to get the slide moved in? The only thing I can think of is removing one of the hydro lines to the cylinder and pushing the slide in then blocking it so it can't move out. So he can get it to a shop. Thanks for any help, I'm stumped.
  10. No set screw, just a pin. Picked up a washer today, to take up the slack, wouldn't you know it, its just a tad to thick. Will try a 2 x 4 tomorrow. Till I can get a file or grinder. Got to come up with a redneck fix till we get home.
  11. James Thank you so much. Were out till mid October. Got to figure out how to keep it going till then. Now I can at least start chasing the gears down. I need to also try to figure out how to get the gears a little closer together. Just riding on the the edge were they can jump when it gets worn down is not a good thing. Maybe my machinist friend can help with that. Again a big thank you. Bob Ok, so I can't read. Lol When my wife read it she found the fix that I was working on.
  12. We have a 2001 Diplomat. The slides are gear driven. My back wardrobe slide is a worm gear operated system. The worm gear is not meshing like it should and its damaging one of the teeth. Is there a way to tighten up the gears so they mesh better? Here is a picture of the worm gear. The teeth are barely touching. When I deploy the slide I'm getting a loud snapping noise when a certain tooth jumps a gear.
  13. I need the same information. Read somewhere that there is led replacements. I think I seen them on Amazon just before we left. Do a search for Econoline taillights. Please let me know what you find. ☺
  14. Interesting, in our coach if i deflect the bags there not enough pressure left for the breaks and it would refuse to go into the building. LOL
  15. That was my point. A window, they should have told you before a full inspection. Once the window was fixed should not constitute a full re inspection just because you had to take it off the property for the fix. Thats called customer care. In my opinion you got screwed.
  16. Learn something new everyday, did not realize that there was a difference. That explains why it stops at about 30 lb.
  17. We have a OLD blueox & a roadmaster what i call a lunchbox system. There a bit of a pain to put in and take out, but I only paid $50 ea. But thats what you get when your cheep.
  18. I have a 2001 diplomat, mine about 1 1/2 minutes. At about 30+ - lbs. Thats were it slows way down. I don't worry about the rest. The coach is about as low as its going to get at that point. The last 30 lb in are gone in a while.
  19. They come in 2 sizes for the D rings. Both roadmaster & blueox are top of the line towbars. Be sure the towbar is as level as you can get it when your aired up. I had to get a 6in riser for the coach since our jeep has a 3 1/2 lift with 35 in tires. Also don't forget the aftermarket bumpers don't have a place to attach the safety cables. Also do you have a break for the tow vehicle?
  20. Have the same setup on my jeep. With a roadmaster Blackhawk.
  21. I prefer a tow bar that disconnects & stays with the coach. My first one disconnected from the coach folded up and stayed with the car.
  22. So thats the way some companies do it and that makes it ok! Thats perty much sums up the world doesn't it? I'll take care of myself & if I can screw you in mean time, I will! Now if they did the whole inspection & found a bad ball joint then that's a different story. You can't tell from the outside just looking at it that it has a bad ball joint.
