Re: Breakdown Information
2004 Fleetwood Bounder Diesel 38N Freightliner chasis, Cummins engine 300 hp ISB 5.9L, Allison transmission 3000H, 900 miles Leaving Flying J after refueling and crossing overpass when a loud "clunk" was heard from the rear followed by a deceleration type of effect. Nothing noted under vehicle. Drove to another gas station on other side of overpass. All sensors and guages normal, transmission check normal. Took another short test drive. Same noise followed by rubbing/soft grinding kind of noise. Eventually towed to Freightliner. They will check it out on Monday (due to Easter). Initial inspection appears to be driver's side dual wheel trying to run off axle! Will post follow-up. Refer to longer story under separate Class A post. edit: Drove MH home on 4/22/04 with everything fixed. Freightliner had to replace the whole left rear end. No explanation on cause. My take, after talking with several people, the two nuts holding the wheel on were either not torqued correctly or just came loose.620Views0likes0Comments
