This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

Do you have to change out the trany as well or will the diesel link up to it.
Ordered new stainless steel fuel tank as part of my gas to diesel engine conversion.
Given that I am changing from a Chrysler 440 linked to an Allison 545 four speed tranny without overdrive, it was necessary to also change the tranny to an overdrive unit. Diesels operate at a much lower rpm than gas engines so the gearing has to be different.
I am switching to a 2006 Duramax 6.6LTD with a matched 6 speed double overdrive Allison that came with the engine from a donor vehicle. Since I am switching from mechanical/hydraulicly controled systems to electronically controlled systems, all of the wiring and computer stuff is being changed as well. I should complete the project in midsummer.BigRabbitMan wrote:

- In my mind I reinstalled the carb I just rebuilt for the genny, checked to make sure the plug on my 30 amp cord will fit through a 3" ABS pipe before I have the hole drilled in the curb at the S&B for easier hookup when the rig is at home, found an RV tech with a shop and mobile who is really up on solar for battery maintenance while in storage and will contact him tomorrow and a whole bunch of little stuff that I just want to do.
Now if I can just get to the storage yard soon and do those things...
Guest coming from France tomorrow, taking her on Saturday to a five month job on a horse ranch in Santa Inez Valley so no chance until next Monday. Wish I could get the DW to look at places outside of CA to move. - Added 90 degree coax connector to new TV so it would close fully into new opening.
- In the last few days I change out our old Aqua Magic V toilet with an Aqua Magic Style II.
Replaced and upgraded a leaky faucet in the bathroom.
I Installed a CB radio and CB antenna to get ready for a trip with other coaches. jyrostng wrote:
I'm still trying to figure out a way to air my inner tires without removing the outer tire. I'm also trying to guestamate at the correct air pressure for these doubecoin tires. the tire data is M (82) speed rated single 3500 @110psi and dual 3070@100psi. this is interesting since accuride rims are rated at 90 psi. 8r19.5 RT500 tires. I currently have them on 70 and after a 250 mile run, they were barely warm to the touch. about 30 degrees over ambient of 72. Is tire temperature any kind of measure of the pressure/load correctness? I know the first or second post will be to have each corrner weighed and consult the pressure chart for that tire. Short of that anything else is a shot in the dark I realize. comments or suggestions welcome
They do sell braided air lines for extensions from the inner tires. I have them on my coach and they work pretty good.- I'm still trying to figure out a way to air my inner tires without removing the outer tire.

- Changed out the monster TV, to a 32 inch led flat screen. Fit nice and a lot lighter in the overhead compartment..
