Did a lot to our older rig this past week - with the help of East-Court Ford in Toronto - they have a 50 ton hoist and a shop big enough to easily service our trusty RV:
1 - Chassis Lube & Engine Oil change (Shell Rotella T)
2 - Transmission Service & Filter
3 - Cooling System Flush
4 - Brake Fluid Flush
5 - Rear Diff Service
6 - New front pads and resurface rotors
7 - Repack Front Bearings
8 - Left-Front Radius Arm Bushing (worn)
9 - Replaced front coil springs (sagging)
10- Replaced all 4 shocks
11- Replaced tire valves on rear axle with a kit from www.duallyvalve.com
12- Rear Brake Service
13- new wipers
Only three jobs left before we leave for our trip to California in June:
1 - Genset oil change, which I'll do myself
2 - Install a new front hitch from draw-tite for the bike rack
3 - fix my low voltage problem with my trailer light plug on the rear of the RV. My toad lights are terribly dim owing to the low voltage problem that no-one can seem to fix - not Ford, and not the local hitch installer (www.HitchCity.com)...
Hopefully given all this maintenance, our ten-year-old rig will give us another reliable trip this summer!
