Thanks for the heads up Paul.
Right now I'm Stuck in Lodi, Lodi Truck and RV Repair Lodi, Ca. Great Shop. Last time here they replaced the sparkplug wires, for the second time, (27,000 mi.) and installed an air flow kit. They also discovered the A/C compressor was going out. Workhorse authorized the work, they ordered a new one and it's being installed. They have to remove the entire doghouse to get to it so DW and I are hooked up in thier lot tonight so they can finish the job and we can get on to Az. tomorrow.
Anyway back to my point. For a while we have been hearing a high pitch when setting at an idle that sorta, kinda sounds like an alarm or warning buzzer, not unlike the awning alarm. We have looked high and low but we found nada. I asked the tech at Lodi RV what the noise was, Transmission? Fans? Secret alarm? some kind of relay? Without hesitation, he said it was the A/C compressor going out :E (another WH Glich).
What I really like about this shop is good people and no work leaves the shop or the hood is not closed untill a second mechanic checks the work and the service manager takes it for a final test drive. When I set up an appointment they are waiting on me when I get here and they get right to work to get me out. These guys have earned my business. Enough of a plug for Lodi RV.
My point is watch/listen for that faint high pitch from under the dash could be the start of something big.
