Re: 2003 Workhorse W22 running horrible

You did not state on the battery charge as in full 12.8 volts. Did you recalibrate the new pedal assembly. A lot of thing go South when something set sometimes. First you need to check fuel, air and spark. Throwing parts at generic codes will cost you a lot of time and money. The smoke is either water or oil which could be several thing. Too much fuel can cause a lot of smoke issues. The battery was charged prior to any attempt to start. Also, I didn't know you had to calibrate a hew pedal assembly. I will look into the process. thank you.580Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2003 Workhorse W22 running horrible
Sorry I didn't get back to you all sooner. I appreciate all the input I can get. I can't get to work on the rig until this coming weekends. I will check all the areas you suggested and let everyone know. I followed the fuel lines all the way to the fuel rail and couldn't find any leak for the life of me. I got to a point where it had to be coming from inside the manifold. I hope I am wrong and your advice points me to the real culprit. What was odd was that on the first start it was almost a steady steam of fuel, it was leaking so fast. When I started it the second time, after about 30 minute wait, it almost didn't leak at all. Well, it was just not coming out the exhaust flange, I didn't check the exhaust connections any further back.582Views0likes0Comments2003 Workhorse W22 running horrible
I am trying to fix my father's Winnebago 35U, based on a W22 chassis with the 8.1 Chevy motor. When he purchased it used it ran great. It sat for a year and has now developed a very rough idle, to a point where you have to stay on the gas to keep it running. I had a mechanic look at it and it had codes for P0107, P0120, P0220, P1516, and P2135. We have replaced the TAC, the pedal assembly (with the correct p/n from Ultra RV), the MAF sensor, MAP sensor, plugs and wires. I have also cleaned the throttle body. If it sits for a day or longer, it will start and run reasonably smooth, but blows a lot of smoke out the driver side exhaust. It had recently started leaking fuel that slowly dripped on the ground directly under the oil filter. When I started it today it was almost a steady flow of fuel leaking in the same spot. I shut it down to get a better look, but could not identify where the leak originated from. After scratching my head for an hour, I fired it back up (she didn't want to start) and the fuel leak had almost disappeared. I could see a small amount of fuel pooling up on the drivers side exhaust manifold bolts. I pulled the first plug on the drivers bank, from the inside looking forward, and it was soaked in fuel. After a little research I found that some people were experiencing the same problems due to a problem with the fuel dampener failing. Has anyone else experienced these same problems, or can point me in a better direction. I appreciate any help!2.8KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Dometic or Norcold
I have had a small dorm unit in there for quite some time, and it is no longer working for us. I am going to re-measure the opening and see which fits better. I would be going with either the n641 or the Dometic Classic 6 cubic foot. They are both very similar models, with the Norcold being $100 cheaper. I appreciate the input. I spoke with the guy in the parts department at PPL and he basically said they are virtually the same. The key is to use them and not let them just sit. Thank you!400Views0likes0CommentsDometic or Norcold
I need to replace my refrigerator. The local dealership said that they have many more service calls for the Norcold than the Dometic. I am looking for some feedback in which direction to go with. The original unit was removed 5 years ago, when I got the trailer. I just used a small dorm unit until now. I need/want the LP option and am ready to pull the trigger. Is there really much difference with the two? Seems like there are recalls on both brands. Thank you for your help.2.4KViews0likes14CommentsRe: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had mostly towed small box or open trailers. You definately have to plan ahead when you are traveling with this. This is nothing new for the experienced campers here, but something that us beginners have be aware of.329Views0likes0CommentsRe: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually had to cut off the skid plates that my grandfather had welded onto the frame in the back. His pick up sat much lower than the back of my truck. They were the verticle skid plates also. They would make contact all the time. I haven't had any problems since I cut them down though.329Views0likes0CommentsRe: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my, relatively new to me, rig. Was my grandparents, and I took it out of moth ball for my family to have some fun. I have only been out a couple of times, but the family loves it. I am really starting to get the itch to camp with this nice weather.368Views0likes0Comments
