Re: Question about using anti-seize on wheel studs/lugnuts

'Anti-seize will NOT cause a nut to loosen. It merely prevents the two metal surfaces from welding together under high heat and loads.  Caution- some mistakenly use "Moly-coat" or similarly named extreme pressure lubricants containing molybdenum  disulfide as an antiseize compound.  If use...

Re: Air pressure issues

'Air powered brakes, not air boosted hydraulic brakes, are preferred for vehicles which will have towed trailers which are often disconnected and changed to others.  Air powered brakes actually use air pressure to RELEASE THE BRAKES,  while powerful springs apply the brakes, thus providing a 'fail s...

Re: Solenoids and Relays (was: Intermittent loss of elecrical power.

'Silver is generally used in contacts that make/break thousands of times a minute, such as ignition points or magneto points because it holds up many times longer. Gold surfaces are used for very low resistance contacts and high reliability.  Higher amperage  contacts are heavier construction all ar...

Re: NO Start

'Batteries that have been DEAD for more than 48 hours generally can not be revived to anything near original capacity. The lead sulfate hardens in a few hours to a very brittle un-reactive form. This CAN sometimes be revived with a 'de-sulfate'  setting battery charger, taking 1-4 DAYS to work.  A c...

'Newer Class 6 and 8 truck engines do have thermostat controlled fans that are hydraulically powered.  They claim impressive energy (fuel) savings and are confirmed by the EPA  About the best thing we can do is improve the 'sealing' at the coach rear bulkhead to prevent hot air back flow around the ...

Re: Radiator fan and which way does air go

'The AIRTABS  DO work to help reduce the drag caused by the big 'hole' behind the moving coach.  Surprisingly, sometime increasing turbulence like they do does decrease drag.   Some aircraft have similar devices on critical wing surfaces to 'break-up' the laminar air flow and turn it turbulent.
