Rubber Roof
Just checked my roof to find some damage. I did a quick temp patch using a spray material bought at out local RV store, I see no leaks or water damage...my question following some confusing YouTube presentations, is what may be the best for a complete re'roof, i.e. a membrane kit or the roll'on rubber material...the roll'on appears to be the least expensive and better for a dyi ... comments please, my ears work ... Thanks John1.1KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Cold Air Intake
I had one bolt that was snapped'off before the header job and one bolt snapped when removing...both had to be drilled and with an easy-out, both were removed...the doghouse has to come'off for access...not a problem...you have to plan on one or more snapping when the stock manifolds are removed...591Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cold Air Intake
What is the opinion of the K&N filter ? ... the stock intake on the E-350 has a venture tube section that is mounted to the front of the filter box, if one was to cut'off the venturi tubes and install a K&N filter it seems to me this intake would be similar to the Banks system ? ... comments are noted590Views0likes0CommentsCold Air Intake
My motorhome is a 1995 Class-C Ford E-350 with a 460 EFI engine...I have upgraded the exhaust with Thorley headers following the dreaded exhaust leaks and snapped bolts...I am now ready to upgrade with a Cold Air Intake system...I'm looking for advise on options both homebuilt and ready made systems...Thanks for a great forum...John from Henderson NV5.5KViews0likes19CommentsRe: Warning signal or ?
Thanks Navegator (I would have been a smoking hole had it not been for a good navigator)... I will make the checks as you advised, exhaust may be the source but sounds electrical (?)... the squeal seems to be centered near the rear on the drivers side...this one is challenging my "I can fix'it" abilities...Cheers/John426Views0likes0CommentsRe: Warning signal or ?
I have changed the belts and idler pully...sound is noted from the outside of the coach and again appears to be coming somewhere from the rear 1/3 of the coach...I have opened all the access/storage doors to no avail..."muffler bearings" don't think that's the problem...426Views0likes0CommentsWarning signal or ?
My Class-C 1995 E350 Motorhome has a problem that has me scratching my head...problem is with engine running there is a high-pitch squeal coming from somewhere in the rear bottom 1/3 of the coach...when engine is stopped the squeal stops...when I turn on the ignition key you can hear the fuel pump pressure'up then stop...when engine is started the high-pitch squeal starts...I have crawled under the coach trying to locate and to'date no-joy finding the problem...any and all suggestions will be gladly accepted...I'm tool and mechanical savvy, this one has me running...I may be overlooking something that is simple & minor ...Thanks/John5.4KViews0likes24CommentsE40D Fluid Change
I just purchased a 1995 Class-C motorhome and now in the process of changing all the fluids for a fresh start...motorhome is a Ford E350, 460eng with a E40D tranny, 67031 miles...I plan to use synthetic for all, for the engine I replaced using Mobil 1 and looking for information what to use for the tranny...the dip stick calls for Mercon where I understand is no longer produced, my auto parts store recommends Dex/Mer...I'm also hearing Mercon V is ok but also reading where some are saying not to use...When I drop the fluid I will replace the original pan with a deep pan with plug and temp sensor...looking for guidance...my ears work...thanks for a great forum...Cheers/John1.7KViews0likes6Comments
