I used the AS8897. 

I used the bags with 1/4" inlet.

Is this what you used on your 08 Navigator? Front or rears? Or both?

On 2004 Executive I used Firestone W013589376 on the 4 front bags and like it with the 1/4" inlet. DaBus seems more stable in the front. It might ride a little Rafferty depending on the road!

From what I understand the front bags need the 3/4" inlet to allow the ping tank to work properly.

I have about 8k miles on the new bags going from AZ to WI, then AZ to Reno with no problems. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR All. Has anyone used the smaller inlet bags in the front?? If not why?

Thanks Steve

Greetings to everyone!

Starting the 1300 mile journey south for the winter season from Washington.  We have some fairly steep climbs that I want to understand better about how to climb with the Alison in our 2009 Camelot 42’.  Coming home this last June, we encountered a couple ‘Stop Engine’ lights and lost power at uncomfortable spots on the road.  This summer I drained the coolant and flushed the system after degreasing and cleaning both sides of the CAC & the radiator.  Re-Filled the coolant system with Final Charge (Red) and topped it off after a couple short runs as needed.  I also replaced the recovery tank pressure cap.  All this in hopes of not repeating the Stop Engine issues.  My question is this;  I’ve been told by several people I trust with years of diesel driving experience that I’m not driving the transmission aggressively enough if I’m just leaving it in D.  Yet I have a very experienced friend on this forum who I’ll call my “Sensei”, tell me that it’s not necessary with the excellent Alison Transmissions we have.  Can I help myself avoid these hot engine issues by keeping the RPM’s higher and the torque in a better range when starting up grades?

 

Thank you for your consideration,

Dale

When climbing a grade I watch the Tach not the speed. I have a 2004 ISM 500 hp Cummins 4000 Allison, I keep the rpm between 1500 - 2100 rpms. Safe Travels! 

Mine 2004 Monaco Executive, the low would work but no high. Turn that the switch on the left control panel had a bad connection. Easy fix after mechanic checked, foot switch, wiring to engine and pulled rocker cover. That was my problem! 

I have an 04 Executive and I had this happen last summer. Mine has an excess panel in the  bedroom behind the pocket door. I was able to fix Mine. 

Mine was doing the same thing, after checking all connections the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. Ended up to about $500. Works great now. 

Costco sells Interstate batteries! 

I have a 2004 EXECUTIVE,  Tail lights are Ford early-mid 90's tail lights.
