Tell me your experience, good or bad, with the Source Performance Fan on your ISC. Is it worth the extra $$? I am about convinced, but need a push...... THX TB

Jim.....thanks for the invite, but my coach will never cross that border. Just not my thing to travel in Mexico.

I had to replace the radiator on my 2005 Diplomat. Here are some tips if you're not done yet. I didn't try to buy specific radiator hoses to match. I made a note of each hose that needed replacement.....for example, one was 12" with a 90 and 8" on the other end and another piece of straight hose 6" in length. I went to an online radiator hose shop that sold silicone hoses. I purchased an 18" x 18" hose with a 90 and was able to make two hoses out of it. I found that the Monaco radiator was so rigidly mounted, that the silicone hoses gave more flex between the engine and radiator.

On mine, there was a huge metal shroud I had to remove. In the lower corners, I found a lot of debris built up. I cut an opening 1"x 2" in each corner so that in the future I could flush debris out those openings when cleaning the radiator.

When I replaced mine, the new unit (assembly from Monaco that were sold to a surplus company when they went out of business) included the radiator, Charge Air Cooler (CAC), shroud and trans cooler as a complete unit on a pallet. This new unit used rubber spacers between the CAC and radiator, just like a car use on a radiator. I would suggest placing a 1/4" thick strip of rubber between the CAC and radiator when you reassemble to keep the two form beating each other to death.

As always, Don has a fascinating post about some in depth work done on his RV.

I really admire your DIY skills, Don. In fact, I'd like to invite you down to San Felipe, Baja, only 7 hours away from your home, to sit around and shoot the bull. Maybe give some insight on some mods I'd like to do to my '02 Journey?

I put one on my Cummins ISB and noticed no difference at all. Its not worth the money as far as I'm concerned.

My bad, I thought you were talking about something different.
