Re: Engine noise
I just re-carpeted the engine cover as well as the whole motorhome. I used high density foam padding on the engine cover, not the******that comes from the factory, but it is still quite loud. I do not believe that my engine cover has a sound deadening blanket inside of it. I may look into that and if I have to I can glue it to the cover. I always hear about sound deadening or sound proofing spray on liners. Anyone have any luck with any of these? I like turning down the hearing aids. I probably will be needing them soon :)268Views0likes0CommentsFitch catalyst
Has anyone ever installed the Fitch catalyst fuel converter? I read an article in 4 wheel drive and sport utility magazine where they tested it and it showed a gain of 1.37 mpg on a 2003 Dodge 5.9 diesel truck. I have the Ford 5.7 in my Class A motorhome and i am always looking for something to increase gas mileage. If anyone has ever tried one of these, what was the result?2KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Electrical issue
enblethen you have been a god send. Thank you for taking the time to email and reply. I will take every step that you recommended and see what happens. Personally, I believe that there has either been a crack or fuse, that I can not see, that has interrupted the power from the top right lead to the rest of the panel. I will do some more trouble shooting on Friday as the weather is supposed to improve. This website is awesome as it allows those with experience to help those less experienced. I belong to another website for 4 wheeling enthusiasts and so many issues have been solved just by brother helping brother or sister helping sister, or any other combination you might put together.584Views0likes0CommentsRe: Lost my life time buddy
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I had a pug for 17 plus years and as she grew old I realized that I was keeping her here on earth for me, not for her. She was deaf, almost blind and had very few teeth, but I kept her here instead of letting her go and rest for all eternity. After a year went by I decided to look for another dog. I found a one year old Brussels Griffon in the pound in Salt Lake City. The wife and I went to look at this dog and we immediately recognized our lost companion. We adopted this dog and named him Bosco. This was 4 years ago and he never seemed to take to the name of Bosco. However, when we call him our old pugs name he tilts his head, his tail wags, and he runs right to you. Imagine that. I believe that our pugs spirit lives on in Bosco and we could not have a better companion. Once you move on you will love another dog or cat. Not quite the same as before as no one can exactly fill that spot in your heart, but your heart and soul will once again be full.348Views0likes0CommentsRe: Electrical issue
Okay, I think I see what you are saying. The large red wire on the top right may be a problem. The weather here is horrible right now, but in a few days I will get over and disconnect it and see what happens. I thought that the top right wire was the hot lead to this bank. If I disconnect it and the other 4 have power I guess it is not. There will obviously be no power to the bottom right two wires as they are cold already. There is a bank of wires on the other side that go to the chassis part, except there are only 4 bolts. All 4 on that side are hot. Now that I view an enlarged picture of the wires and the bolts it looks like all of the wires should be hot as they appear to be connected on a metal plate. Is that right? Should all 6 terminals test as active and hot when the coach batteries are turned on? It also looks like I can just slip the posts out of the sleeve once the wires are disconnected. There are no bolts holding this in place as you can see if you enlarge the photo. Does that sound right? The one I jumped was the top middle (hot) to the bottom right (2 wires) and everything worked as it used to. I am good with jumping those points and putting a breaker or in line fuse between them if that will solve the problem. What do you think?584Views0likes0Comments
