YES!!! Have you priced one from a GM Dealer? You have any problems with a GM Goodwrench transmission you take it to a GM Dealer or any authorized service center. The parts stores are in a race to the bottom with CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP patch it long enough to get to the next payday. With your "If...

I don't follow why you are "Yeah give me the electronics" and all the changes that requires? It ain't that hard to build a 700r4. What's the full story? What transmission oil they recommending? X2 drop a 4L80E in instead as 6.2/6.5 diesels when they aren't eating their own innards like to...

The time it takes to overheat and warp clutch plates in a transmission when slipping is not long at all. It's just the clutch plates that quickly overheat at first not the entire transmission. Yes it will overheat if the slipping keeps up long enough. I have burnt the weak 3rd over-run clutches...

I use the 30A in National Parks that don't have 50A so the 30A setup is an advantage. Regardless it's easy button to add a 15A (normal outlet) or 20A 120V plug dedicated just for the second A/C unit. I finally added a second A/C unit to my RV. So I use the 30A and the 20A plugs at campsites...

The nice part about travel with an RV is you set the pace of how far you go in a day, if you even go at all. Take a couple days in one place before going on to the next. You can't get around the work of setting up and filling/dumping water tanks. Bigger tanks mean you do it less often like every...

No. If it ain't broke don't fix it. You can confirm it's still going soft with your electric booster lift pump? This may be the add on pump not keeping up and perhaps it's causing you problems rather than helping or you have a restriction in the fuel system. It may only need a repair if you...

Starters have four brushes. You can loose one brush and it still cranks the engine but slower. For example this from the carnage scrap pile... https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/attachments/bad-starter2-jpg.38389/ https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/6-5-carnage.39865/#post-453250

^^^ IMO you fixed the problem with the above. Now quit fixing things till they are broken.

My 5th wheel has had 3 TV's. The Original Owner's Chevy with a 8.1L that wouldn't pass a gas station, My 2003 Cummins, and now my 2018 Cummins RAM. I can hook or unhook in about 15 min depending on if the slides are out, clean up to bring the slides in, and hook ups. Otherwise it's put tailgate...

Is it spinning on the starter as fast as you remember? Battery 1 of 2 failure, bad internally corroded battery cables, or starter spinning slow is a good possibility.

Just get them off NOW! Or as the couple that got a brand new RV found out on their maiden voyage a Red Communist China ST tire can do over $8,000 of damage to an RV as it comes apart and rips off the plumbing including the LP plumbing. Oh yeah, that was Ruined Vacation! Also insurance claim...

Fixed it for you. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/discount-tire-to-acquire-tire-rack-and-merge-operations-creating-leading-omnichannel-tire-buying-experience-301437357.html

About 6 years. Have the RV weighed and it's not at max weight or over. The 15" tires were upgraded to 16" LT's, Defender LTX, by the original owner. They were 7 years old when I replaced them due to sidewall cracking and age. Just about any LT tire is night and day better than a ST tire. The...

Batteries are dangerous. Dad tells me a story of a couple of 8D batteries that blew up in their repair shop in/during Vietnam turning a fellow's face into hamburger. Lead is toxic and lead shrapnel will give you a lifetime of problems. F*** around and find out! This is why modern chargers will...

Let me guess you already pulled the OnSuck battery parasite fuse?

This could get expensive. Is the filter head assembly readily available in case it goes "SNAP!" or strips? Does the filter absolutely need to be changed? The next thing that can give way is the filter can coming off the filter base plate leaving that stuck on the filter head. If it comes all...

Alternators change voltage depending on temperature AND voltage drop on the charge wire to the remote voltage sense wire. Load doesn't change the commanded voltage by design to the limit of the alternator at idle speed. My 2003 Dodge Cummins ran 15V and had the least amount of battery failures...

That's under 15V. Depending on temperature it's fine. Unless the battery stinks and/or is boiled dry ... again FINE. OT the 2002's had a TSB to move the alternator "sense" wire to the output of the alternator as it would "ring" with noise during a shift and confuse the ECM. This change removed...

SO?! Test them and be sure they aren't the problem. Never give anything a free pass because it's "NEW". Offhand: Defective, died an early death, or bad cable not charging a battery ruining it... The not clean ground if it was a battery ground could have murdered your new battery. Just saying do...

Is this a CA emissions or 49 state? CA has an electric EGR where 49 state is vac operated. A stuck open EGR would stall the engine at idle. (I had the CA electric version randomly stick on me and primitive ECM had NO CLUE.) Vac operated EGR can flop open off idle and give you trouble. Vac...
