Re: Rand Mcnally dock?
I just bought a new 7735lm. When I downloaded RM Dock I could not connect my GPS. RM support was no help. A buddy told me to charge the GPS in my car, then everything went fine. My laptop is running Windows 10. Had to install the download twice to get it to launch properly. mRM Dock said my device was not connected. After I charged the unit all was fine.586Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dang Annoying Beeper
I have a 2005 Monaco Diplomat with the same problem. I have narrowed it down to a sender that is slow when you shift into drive with the brakes released, the sender is a safety so you don't drive away with the brakes still set. I believe the sender is on the transmission, that is where a Cummins Bridgeway shop told me, but there is more than one when I looked at it, all look identical.394Views0likes0CommentsRe: Allison Tranny Fluid

There is a grade retarder built into trans along with a Jacobs Engine brake on 600 horse Cummins. denn0007 wrote: rkenly wrote: i just bought a new to me coach. it is a 1998 chassis since im not home right now, dont know which allison it has. however when i did my walk around, it has a big sticker that the dexron 2 fluid has been replaced with engine oil (15-40). the dealer indicated that a lot of coaches did this to have smoother shifts? is that because of dextron2 vs newer dextron 3, or transynd? better to just leave it, or upgrade to transynd? tia >>>Rod<<<518Views0likes0CommentsRe: Allison Tranny Fluid

I am wondering if anyone has any first hand experiance towing this model. Looking for feedback, positive or negative before we make a final decision. If you are towing this car what set-up are you using for baseplate, tow-bar, lights and brakes? Thanks I have a 2012 AWD and am using a Blue Ox setup with a SMI Air Force One brake system. The first time I towed the car had a dead battery after 4 or 5 hours of towing, so now I stop every 2 or 3 hours to stretch my legs and start the car for a few minutes. We have put about 8000 miles on with no issues after I figured out the battery thing. Love the car.169Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone have experiance towing a 2013 Taurus AWD
