Re: Dometic refrigerator frost and ice
wa8yxm wrote: Ah you youngsters. Yes it is normal Modern RESIDENTIAL refrigerators have heaters in them (Defrost elements) so first they cool then they heat.. That way you don't need to defrost so often RV units don't have the BTU's to spare so they just cool and like Refrigerators of old when you open the door and warm air rushes in... or when the ice maker (Which by the way may have a heater built in) cycles and warm water rushes in.. Frost forms on the cooling plates. What can reduce it Well I had a 3 fan version of this.. Wish I'd have had a 4 fan but that's another item Fridge fan It mounts in front of the fins and did a fairly good job on the area it blew on. Thing is my fridge was wider than the assembly (Why I needed the 4th fan) How do you wire this item? I’m having same issue of frosting1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Chevy 2500 HD 6.0 question

When towing hard like you're doing, you will eventually snap exhaust manifold bolts. Usually it's not if, but when this finally happens. I don't know the reason why, but it's very common on the 5.3L and 6.0L engines when used for towing. Most often it's the bolts on the front and rear cylinders on either side. It happened to mine and I decided to just let a shop do the work. I also bought stainless shorty headers to get a little better exhaust flow. The shop charged $350 to remove the old manifolds, extract the broken bolts, and install the new headers. This did not give me a boost in HP, but I did find the engine revved a little quicker. With the headers when I gave it throttle climbing a hill it seemed to jump into that 3500RPM and higher range a little earlier than with the manifolds which translated to a slightly easier climb. KJ I already replaced the broken manifold bolts. I have some shorty headers I need to install yet. Once I get the cooling problem fixed I will give the higher rpm a try. Just dosent seem right, but I’ve have enough input to trust to try it. Will save me from buying a diesel in the short term.529Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cleaning out ceilings from mice infestation
