Re: Replaced Chassis Batteries and now won't start

'Sue, Does your transmission shift pad light up when you turn the ignition on? You need to double check the small wires. The positive side should have an inline fuse in them, so check the fuses too. The amount of small wires should be equal on both the positive and negative terminals. There have bee...

Re: Norcold 9182 Constantly Pulls DC

'Taylor, Good info, except for a couple of important items. Checking battery voltage with a voltage meter may and will very likely give you a false reading if the batteries are sulfated. Checking the condition of a flooded lead acid battery with a hydrometer is the most accurate way to check the con...

Re: Norcold 9182 Constantly Pulls DC

'Joe, Unless you had a moderate load on your batteries when you measured 12.16 volts, that is close to 50% discharged, 11.6 volts is below 50% state of charge. The batteries will need to be fully charged before they are tested, otherwise you will get a false reading. The easiest way and most accurat...

Re: Norcold 9182 Constantly Pulls DC

'Joe, It sounds like to me, that your refrigerator outlet is on the inverter circuit. Which allows the refrigerator to run on 120v ac electric which is drawn from your batteries via the inverter. Try unplugging the refrigerator from the outlet in the back, or switch the unit to work only on propane,...

Re: Help needed for a nice lady with a Safari in need

'Vince, A good used 5.9L Cummins engine usually can be had between $2000 and $4000. As Taylor mentioned, the trick is finding a mechanic who does work on the side or a small shop in a small town, who works for a reasonable rate, as this job is sure to be labor-some.

Re: Calif Smog, was 'Nice Lady'

'Dale, It would seem that the key words to look for in these new rules is, does this apply to only commercial vehicles or all diesel powered vehicles with the given weight category? Forcing companies (commercial class) into the financial burden of repowering is one thing, but forcing private citizen...

Re: Velvet ride shocks
