Re: Low voltage on one side
I agree.....sounds like a loose connection. I'd check the load side of the breaker that affects the problem circuit. I once had to trouble shoot a home dish washer that exhibited the same symptoms. Although there was supply voltage, and all the circuitry checked out, it would not run. I finally found that when the load was applied, the voltage dropped to zero. The culprit was a loose wire nut in the junction box feeding the circuit. Not only was it causing the failure, it was badly burned and a fire hazard.548Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1998 Ford E450 Super Duty Triton V10- opinions?!
Mine is a 31' Gulfstream Ultra, which weighs 14,300 Lbs. when fully loaded. I've only had it two years, but have had no problems. I've averaged around 8 to 9 MPG, but I drive very conservatively. Yes, it does want to run at high RPM for any pulling power.239Views0likes0CommentsRe: What was your first newbie moment?
I had my old class A in my daughters driveway and needed to turn around before entering a busy hiway. My wife asked if I wanted her to spot for me, but she had recently had knee replacement surgery and it was difficult for her to climb through to do that. "No, I'll be fine"......did a few adjustments back and forth, got nearly straight.....last trip rearwards and CRUNCH. I had a homemade wood box in the hitch receiver and it smashed into the garage door. Took out my roof ladder, some trim on the garage overhang, and $600 worth of new garage door. No damage to my woodbox, I build things heavy duty! The worst part is my SIL and 4 grandkids saw the whole episode.308Views0likes0CommentsRe: Oil Change Frequency-V10
My uncle was a cattle rancher and had an old tractor parked near the barn. Piled next to the tractor was perhaps 30 oil soaked rolls of toilet paper. He told me they were used as filtering medium in the tractor oil filter. He NEVER changed the oil, only the toilet paper.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Starting my generator in my class C without
HARLYGL94 wrote: Yes you might seem to think that Starting it will do more harm than good but Onan recommends it and so many other people say that the Onan generators will fail if you do not start them. it's called exercising it so on one hand I do agree with you but I read so much extensively about the Onan generators that's why I feel the need to start it once a month. As far as all the other winterizing engines I just use the fuel stabilizer in all of them and they start great in the spring. Yes, I should have mentioned that I DO start the generator a couple of times during winter storage and put a load on it. I do the same with my 7KW home generator. However, that is a different beast than the chassis engine. The generator engine has a very short exhaust system and no catalytic converter.564Views0likes0Comments
