After getting just about everything working in the camper, the wife, dog, and I headed out into the Gorge last week for a few nights out in the cold as a shakedown for a much bigger trip in Feb. Things started off extremely well, including finding some sunshine and some interesting scenery...

I've had it for so long to do the swap that I honestly forget how I landed on it. I want to say that it was a recommendation from someone on here but I can't place it right now. They seem to be the OTR standard and widely available, and it's working well for me so far. It doesn't seem to be...

Have crossed a number of things off my list recently- New AD-9 dryer: Installed fresh water tank level gauge: (powers up when I turn illuminated switch on) The 120 side of panel has been validated. I have been running through the Victron now, pulling 120 through the inverter to run tools...

Ugh. Found it! The back end of the Packard connector at the sender had corroded/disconnected. Didn't need to chase it much further than the plug. Replaced the connector with something made this century and all is good now. Updating this thread so the next person doesn't feel as stupid as I...

No need... Just take a closer look at the reduction units in each hub. There are 3 main components for the reduction gearset: The outer bevel gear attached to the spinning axle The "spider" gears on the cross The inner bevel gear rigidly attached to the axle housing. If you lock the outer...

I found it on the schematic, appears to be fed by CB77 with flow through the gauge, then sender, then level. I assume there should be some sort of voltage at the connector from the chassis to the tank. Right? I swapped in my larger tank, did nothing but remove the old one, swap in the new...

Thanks gents. I also got a few pointers today from Rick and will be giving it a shot tomorrow. Will look up Ron's vid shortly as well.

I have still to learn how to navigate the TM's... Can anyone point me at the priming procedure for the motor (dry fuel tank)? Is there one? Am I overthinking this? Looking at it, I am tempted to loosen the plug on the unused output port and push the button until the air is out and the fuel...

If you have a recommendation, I'd be open to it. It's a new subject for me... added the 7 db antenna and it came with a 3 (I think those were the numbers). In OR/WA, we will be dealing with mountains, valleys, and trees (3 db), but on longer trips to the SW, it will be more open desert (7db)...

On the back of the cab currently, but it's moveable:

Happy to share! This forum has been a great source of support and when I found the deal, I couldn't not share it. I was hoping it didn't violate forum rules- or if it did, that the mods would understand what was going on and look away. The cheapest I had found outside of that was ~$50...

Ok, so silly little side project, but I impressed myself with it. I put in a GMRS radio and picked up two antennas for it- one better in obstructed terrain, the other in open, flatter areas. I wanted them both to stay in the rig, but storage would potentially be awkward. My solution was to...

Thanks for the reminder Chucky!!! Been meaning to get one for a while. Just found one for $16. There's one left if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/195707860583

You may still be able to see this: https://www.facebook.com/p/Bryce-Sons-Military-Truck-Parts-100064725607676/ Will text you the number I have for him in a moment.

Plan B... I spliced extensions into the straps instead. Worked great! Didn't get around to pulling the fuel lines yet but intend to replace them at this point as well. Will do that next I guess... I have a new sender on order from Isspro, but it won't be built til after the new year, so...

This task feels like it's a rite of passage for owning these rigs. There's no rocket science to it, just grunt labor. If Rick's tool makes it easy, I'd take a hard look at it. I've done them enough times (without that) at this point that I have a system developed. Lots of soapy water sprayed...

Nope. All good. It's properly mounted and primed, and I can watch some occasional small bubble get pushed up to the burner. It's also irrelevant now. After all the hassle, I pulled the system. The company Rixen is ~20 min away from me and I took the rig there for a visit. I came home a bit...

Yep, coolant heater. Nope, 80 is its prescribed cycling temp- throttle back at 75, shut down at 80, fire back up at 60. It's reliably shutting down at 63, like clockwork. It doesn't appear to be a setting that is doing it, and it's definitely shutting down and erroring out with "E-14". Based...

Still shutting down... Functionality is all good on the pump. Appears to run correctly, slow pulse during start up, then ramps as the unit heats up. Runs consistently with the pace of the burner, then continues to shut down upon reaching 63°C. The duration doesn't seem to matter. It shuts...

THANK YOU!!! Off to exercise it. Will report back with results.
