We found a 4000 watt inverter/charger and installed it in the bay.

I feel your pain on that one. I was using our 2000 Diplomat to move across country and we broke down in Gallup NM. And the shop broke it off in my pocket.I bought the pump for 6400. With core charges and sent it to him and he said 2500 for installation. It ended up being 5700. He claimed he had 33 hrs in it .sad to say I had to pay it.

Pop's Rv was Great to work with.

If you need tires bbwheels.com, simpletire.com

Pop'sRv is the place. I also have a 2000 38d n though I didn't have any luck selling mine I believe it was because I was on the west coast at the time. I will say get it Appraisal done first. Because they will go by book value if not.

I know on our 2000 we went with the wireless camera from Costco and being color you can mount the monitor to the window and it works Great.

Ok just a update. I found the pump with core it's going to be 4600.00 that is with a 1600.00 core charge. But it's going to take 10 days to get it. So with his 2500 dollar install fee it's not going to be that bad. Just wanted to say thank you for the replies and information. I found it through a buddy who works for a mobile mechanic company. I will update you once I pick it up and get it back to Tennessee.

No Sir that is the pump. Plus a 1100 core charge.

No Sir your not a Jerk nor would I ever think that. Your just replying to a post .you don't know my background. But it's all good. I appreciate your help. So far what I have learned is the pump is a Caps pump but it is also 6000.00 from 1 shop and I am still trying to find it cheaper.

I get my toyo tires from Bbwheels.com. or also try Simpletire.com. they both offer free shipping and Great prices.

My problem is I am in Tennessee and the coach is in New Mexico. At a repair shop. I did some calling around yesterday and found out the pump number. So I have that now. I am going to do some calling today to see if I can locate the pump. Good thing is I have done enough work on the coach that I know for a fact it's a 8.3 and after digging around enough yesterday I found the shop that was contacted to get the quote .I have the pump information now.

Problem is the shop claims that the tag is gone and they called freightliner to get the information but I can't find any info.

Hey Guys n Gal's I have a 2000 monoco diplomat 38d. It's Dead in the water bad injection pump. My problem is I don't have the serial for the engine. The Coach is in Galop NM. And I am in Tennessee. I have the Vin but can't find the serial number the place where it is at claims that the tag is gone. Who can I call to get some Help?? Val

Price Reduced to 35k Very well built Coach. Has a new transmission, and a long list of other goodies.

I would say don't sweat it and Enjoy your Retirement. Tomorrow is never promised for any of us. Unless he is looking for something to do. Then and if his Health doesn't get in the way. And it's something that he enjoys doing.

Sounds like the fool we ran into in Indiana. Calls himself a mechanic but had never seen a diesel pusher motorhome before. And tried to charge me a Grand to change my Alternator. And I bought the parts. What he did was see the Motorhome and he saw Dollar signs. Unfortunately there are some Shady people out there. But remember that Karma will work wonders on them. I feel your pain. I am a mechanic but I am in a wheelchair and can't do everything I use to do.

Got ya I see the lines now.

The round part is your air bag for the suspension. Is it oil or just moisture? If it's oil it shouldn't be. It might be Moisture and that is typical with a air system but it should not be alot. Have you drained the air tank lately?

Black smoke tells me you still have a boost leak somewhere in the system. I would do a pressure test n see what you find. Atleast that is what we do on a dodge truck. I play with the first gen trucks alot.

I40 has always been bad the Arizona portion of the road Stinks. We took the 40 in 21 n it was Hell ! And we are based out of Southern California.

How do you like it? We just ordered a 2023 Newmar and I know Cummins pretty well but have never had any experience with the newer engines. We got the 450hp version of the 8.9 and a 6 sp Trans. Thank you for the reply Val

Pre check is everything you would do for A gas Coach but then add oil,and radiator level. If your in cold climate you might have to turn the key on and wait for the wait to start light to go out. Then it will fire off. You also have to let it idle long enough to get the air system to operating pressure. Other then that you will enjoy it Better than a gas Coach. Because you don't have the engine noise right next to you. Best bet is drive it around to get use to it. Happy Travels! Also what engine do you have?

Is that the clamp right off the turbo? And exhaust brake? I fought the same thing on our 2000 had to go to the company to get it and they are out of Canada. We have a 8.3 with a hx40 turbo.

I bought a 2 piece from Ebay that seems to be holding up pretty good we have had it on there since 2020 n no issues.

Don't feel bad. We bought a 2000 monoco diplomat 38d in 2020 did more maintenance than you could imagine new exhaust manifold, water pump, all hoses, new transmission lines, had 26,000 miles on it. Did a quick trip to Arizona coach ran great. June of 21 we were going to make a trip to the East Coast. Left Southern California made it to 35 miles East of Flagstaff Arizona. Pulled onto the off ramp .went to take off from the stop sign and lost all forward gears. Ended up getting towed back to Flagstaff and 3.5 weeks later and $10,875.00 we had a new transmission Ended up we had lost the C3 clutches in the transmission. We continued on our trip and had a great time. But things Happen.
