wow Dog Trainer…would love to see photos of those many projects especially the back splash !
I had a horrible clangy noise, like a car fan belt when I would pull away…
took to Ford who noticed manifold bolts missing..
said could be cracked manifold or just problem with broken or missing bolts…
worse case scenario $2600.00 in parts to repair and just as much in labor.
I took to a local race car repair place and they examined and machined out the manifold which was fine (phew) and had to also get someone in to get the busted bolts out and replace around 9 of them.
I googled this was a common problem with Ford V10's… great $$
Total cost was $1,100.00 (cash).
I took the RV to have the generator to an onan approved repair shop to have oil change and tune up…turns out the new generators have fast burning oil so this sucker was down to less than half the oil it should have (explains not running right I guess) so they got it all looked after…
running nice now.. can't wait to take it out for a dog show !!
