Re: Seems like this web forum is lightly used now

Surprisingly we still have quite a few new member applications every week, so while it's slow, there are still people interested in our forum. I think one HUGE difference is that here 99.9% of the time when something is asked, people give an honest answer and try to help others out. One big issue on...

Re: Paint codes for 1998 Safari Trek

I don't know about the Trex line, but on the full sized DP units, the general consensus is to take something like your exterior fridge door panel to a good paint shop and have it color matched. Safari used to use Diamont paint (which hasn't been available for several years now), so getting a color m...

Re: If you have a steering stabilizer, are you glad you put it on?

I had an older 23' class C years ago that was a bear at times on the road, so at the advice of family put a steering stabilizer on it. The difference it made was amazing to say the least! Then I got my 30' Sahara and saw that the previous owner had put a stabilizer on it about a year before he sold ...

Re: Location of sending unit Allision MD3060

From what I've been able to see on the Allison site looking at the info they provide on our transmissions, the temperature is a thermistor in the control module and not an actual "sending unit". From their troubleshooting manual: A temperature sensor (thermistor) is located in the internal...

Re: Need help finding cabinet trim, PLEASE.

It might be easier to go into a millwork shop and see if they can make you a piece of trim to match.

Re: Leveling Jack bleed off

My rear jacks would settle sometimes, and several members here suggested that I might have a little bit of dirt in the valves causing it. I have a sloped driveway so have double 2x6 platforms that my rear duals are on, so I was able to extend my rear jacks to full extension to see if maybe that woul...

Here's what he was trying to post. Not sure why it went email versus posting here though. Maybe because I'm an admin?

Re: Shark bite fittings

I carry both the slip on and self sealing styles with me, along with some crimps and an inexpensive crimp pliers. While it may not be the perfect solution, I've already used a crimp and shark bite fitting to correct an issue in my rig (and the fix is still working fine over a year later). They aren'...

Re: Pacbrake

I believe that as long as you find a pressure switch with the same cut off settings, you should be fine (and the same thread pitch, of course). One other thing to check for the operation of your system is the Humphrey Valve, also referred to as a Super Quick Exhaust valve (SQE) and make sure that th...

Re: Pacbrake

Oldcobia, If you can activate the compressor by jumpering around the pressure switch, you've answered your own question - regardless what the site may say. Pressure switches do fail! To test your pacbrake, put a piece of tape onto the cylinder (since the only way to test them is either direct air to...
