Re: Fixing water damage on the old Dodge (pics)
Been there, done that. Scrapped the old Dodge a few years later. Looks like the same model I had. Plan on rebuilding the attic, too. Should have spent the time & money traveling. If you have a gas drip while filling, there's a piece of flex tube between the filler and the first metal section.125Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
I have a '79 Monarch with a 440 and dual glasspacks. It's a total money pit & I've never had a trip without a major breakdown! [I'm talking sleeping in the repair depot's parking lot two nights a week EVERY trip] Drinks oil like a Texan. Electrical problems (two alternators in three years, voltage regulator, all outside lights have failed at one time or another, lost all cab power four times due to connector problems), suspension problems ($3700 worth), the attic basically fell off due to dryrot. Now the engine is acting up, any dumb big-block lovers here? PS Forgot to mention the fan clutch replacement & exhaust manifold that will NOT stay tight! Heater failed on my second trip. And the cab A/C hasn't worked since the test drive. By the way, the local Dodge dealer doesn't carry parts for anything over 20 years old.402Views0likes0Comments
