FYI, SpeedCo will NOT change out the Air Dryer. It should be up above the drive axle and isn't really easy to get to. Regardless, they are not allowed to change it even if you bring the filter with you. Cummins charged me a 1/2 hour labor to put it in the air and change it out. Worth the $$ in my opinion. They can also hook up their computer and pull any and all service records on your engine.
While at SpeedCo, be sure to have them do an oil analysis on the old oil to ensure there isn't some 'issue' going on. It's not expensive and worth the look-see. Also, have them check the SCA level in your coolant. They can add some if needed. Again, IIRC a bottle was about $10. Pull your Monaco manual and copy the pages showing where all the zerk fittings/lube points are. It's handy for you to learn where they are and ensuring the tech doing the service knows it too. The one they're not aware of is the one on the steering column. The plastic shroud must be removed inside the coach to reveal it..you will have to witness the torquing of the oil pan bolt, the oil/fuel filters and the oil level when they're through. You'll have to initial same when you go to check out......good luck...Dennis
