I hope you guys had a great Christmas! Our son bought us a Keurig-type coffee maker for the Monaco, along with a box of Duncan Donuts K-Cups. I’ve been wanting to get a good used Black & Decker Spacemaker, but I guess that’s no longer on my list. I’m still dealing with the lawsuit from the accident last year...supposedly we’re near a settlement with the other guy’s insurance company...so far the medical bills are at just over $53,000. Pain and suffering is still undetermined, until we know what his max coverage is. In the end, it still doesn’t replace a low-mileage Z06 Vette.

Kind of quiet around here lately. :?

I didn’t even want to know where the Monroe’s were made.

As promised, a few days late, here are the pics of the original Mopar shocks, front and rear, respectively.
Better late than never. They certainly look used up, but at least they were made in The U.S.A. 😉

Shocks are a routine maintenance item. How you can go 44 years, well 41 since I've owned it for three of those years, and the original owner died three years before that....so 38 years without changing the shocks out....Jesus.
That would be 43 or 44. What counts is how long the shocks have been on the vehicle, regardless of who owned it.
Your motorhome ought to ride better than new now, as I'm sure the new ones are probably better than the old ones when they were new.
It sounds like you've gotten a lot accomplished, CONGRATS!

The difference in ride is night and day. The MA746 shocks can be inflated to 150 psi, but the installation paperwork says not to keep the pressure above 120 psi for long periods of time, because it will weaken the mounting bolts; I've got them set to 100 psi and am happy with that.
Tomorrow the Monroe heavy duty RV shocks come in. I'm sure that I'll be happy with the final result, because anything is better than 44 year-old shocks. I haven't looked at the front shocks yet, but I won't be surprised if they're also the original Mopars.
