Re: Low air alarm in 2000 Monaco Diplomat
I got to my shop, plugged an air gage into the air system, and it has 120 psi. I finally found my chassis wiring diagram, and found the wires that go to the alarm. They had the darned thing stuffed in the firewall bulkhead. I found the alarm, and pulled the plug. I have good air, the jacks go up and down, and the coach drives and stops good. I obviously have a faulty sensor somewhere. I just have to find it.to626Views0likes0CommentsRe: Low air alarm in 2000 Monaco Diplomat

I will go over this morning and dig out the wiring diagram and see if I can locate the sensor. I have the entire dash pulled back and see the air line from the gage going into the firewall bulkhead. If it’s in there, I will have to figure out a way to get in there. I am also going to hook a calbrated air gage into the air coupling located in the main fuse capartment in order to see just how much air the unit has.627Views0likes0CommentsRe: Low air alarm in 2000 Monaco Diplomat
The gage in the 2000 Diplomat has no numbers on it, just lines. There is a line where the alarm has always cut of at. The gage reads well past that, well over 3/4 of the way around, so I doubt that low pressure is the issue. Some of you are not listening . The alarm is going of with the key off, parked. The only way To stop it is to disconnect the battery. When you reconnect the battery, it just starts going off again.626Views0likes0CommentsRe: Low air alarm in 2000 Monaco Diplomat

Everything works great, brakes, air ba suspension, but the darned alarm will not turn of, whether the key is on or off. If I knew the wire that fed it electricity, I would disconnect it. Right now, I can’t even find the alarm, and I have the dash taken apart.190Views0likes0CommentsLow air alarm in 2000 Monaco Diplomat
This morning, I went to check on our 2000 Monaco Diplomat DP.. When I opened the door, the low air alarm was going off. I have no idea why. I started the engine, let the air come up, and it was still going off. I turned the engine off, dumped all of the air, and the alarm was still going off. I cranked the unit up again, and drove it around the block, the low air alarm going off the whole time. I parked again, shut every thing down, and the alarm just keeps going. Any thoughts. I can’t even find the darned alarm to under the dash, or the fused link that powers it.4.7KViews0likes18CommentsRe: Steering Wheel cocked. I fixed it!!

But a truck, that found on a roadside safety check the vehicle would be impounded, not allowed to move until replaced. Tell us more. Why would the truck be impounded? Nothing is loose. On a CMV, the modification to the steering bars would not be allowed if spotted by the inspector. And some of the city paid inspectors in our area only took the test to inspect CMVs because they no what the truck driver is doing for a living, safer than stopping a car. How could one not question what you saying when you don't even know the proper name of the component.. It not a steering bar, it's a drag link. Can you quote code or post a link to such restrictions? I question the accuracy of what you're saying. Richard The. Majority of the aftermarket drag links have the ball joint screwed into the link with a jam nut. Maybe they have a special license to build these parts. https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/UT29154-Monaco-Holiday-Rambler-Drag-Link I don’t doubt that there are DOT regulations against unauthorized parts modifications on commercial vehicles. That’s whole different world.460Views0likes0CommentsRe: Steering Wheel cocked. I fixed it!!

The actual steering parts consist of a drag link that connects the steering box to the driver's side hub steering arm, and then a tie rod that transfers this steering motion from the driver's side hub to the passenger side hub. This tie rod also adjust the toe in or out of the front wheels. “Alignment” is done at the axel, which is a I-Beam with a Panard Bar. It features a Panard Bar because instead of leaf springs, there is a link Suspension supported by air bags. So, that being said, how could what I did, (making the Drag Link adjustable in place), affect the “alignment”.458Views0likes0CommentsRe: Steering Wheel cocked. I fixed it!!

I would never do this for anyone else. I consider it a viable, and completely safe fix, but for my use only. My primary hobby is Benchrest Shooting. I shoot NBRSA Competition, both Score and Group. Since I own a machine shop, I am able to build my own Rifles that I use in Matches. While I get inquiries all of the time, I cannot build Rifles for other shooters, including my friends. Far too much liability.458Views0likes0Comments
