    Transmission ??

    Add to check transmission cooler lines where they attach to the top of the transmission. Use a flashlight. A leak there often runs down the front of the transmission and appears to be a pan gasket leak. Emery Stora > > Things to check for the leak.... > 1. Dipstick O-Ring > 2. Pan gasket >...

    Turn signal and headlights

    Soft start for AC

    Often a failing or failed motor start capacitor will cause the problem. Replacement of a bad capacitor is a much cheaper fix. Emery > > With a Tesla battery and solar power, I'd imagine that battery powered AC > will be a reality in a GMC in the near future. > Sammy Williams >...

    Turn signal and headlights

    There are three possible causes. 1 . corroded or loose contacts on bulbs. Remove bulbs one at a time and clean them and spray in some contact cleaner. 2. A broken filament inside a bulb that might be dangling and shorting out. You can check 2 as you are checking 1. 3. A bad ground. Likely the...

    Rodent/critter repellant for RVs stored outdoors

    Having lived in Santa Fe for 19 years I am familiar with the rodents found in the Placitas area. Deer Mice and Packrats. There were a lot of Pinon trees whose cones provide the Pinon seeds (nuts) that we use on salads. The Deer mice and the pack rats (wood rats) gather these and also the...

    Carb fuel filters

    If you have a rollover you’ve got a lot more to worry about that a tiny amount of fuel from the carb. And where would that fuel go? Back into the fuel line I imagine. Emery Stora > > I thought the check valve was for a roll over scenario to ensure that fuel > does not siphon out. I could be...

    Carb fuel filters

    I thought a see through glass filter sounded great so I put one on years ago but it was broken by a stone or something. I replaced it with a metal one. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > >> Hi, Chris. >> >> >> Do you have a source and part number for that Pyrex bowl filter? Sounds...

    Oil Type Question ... Mobil 1 .. High Milage ...

    Did you notice the word “synthetic” in the first? That is a much better oil and you can go more miles between chamges who’s partially offsets the price. Where are you pricing the Mobil 1. Walmart sells it for about half of the price you are showing. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick,CO >...

    JC4 Vacuum Pump

    Hi John Yes, it will go to 22” HG however as your motorhome gets to higher elevations you cannot achieve that amount of vacuum so you’ll have to set the pump lower in order to prevent the pump from running all the time. I live at 5000 ft now and have it set at 19”HG. If I drive up to 8 or 10000...

    JC4 Vacuum pump operation and additional wires

    Larry - I believe I have the same setup as you. I bought it from Dave Lenzi at a rally. Mine was also very noisy until I purchased rubber dampener mounts with studs at each end. After installing these it has been very quiet. They screwed right into the Azure pump so they were probably...

    Isolator -- bypass?

    Both batteries should NOT be connected to the same isolator post. Keep one that goes to the “vehicle battery positive pole”. Disconnect the other one. It should go to the second isolator post. Most transmodes have a boost switch on the dash and a second battery (the “house” battery). If you are...

    main board for generator

    two other things. Check the oil level. There is a low oil pressure switch that will stop it from running. Also check your fuel supply. If the main tank is below about 1/4 tank the Onan will not pick up any fuel. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I'm having trouble with my generator...

    main board for generator

    Jumper the terminal 9 to the terminal 5. That will bypass the board and allow the ignition and fuel pump to work. If it runs then the problem is indeed in the board. You board might be able to be repaired. Or you can purchase a replacement from Applied GMC. appliedgmc.com http://appliedgmc.com/...

    Leigh Harrison Brake Rotor

    Why do you feel that DOT 4 is the better rating? There are differences besides boiling point such as viscosity and anti corrosion. Problem is that under certain circumstances DOT-4 doesn't last as long; it absorbs moisture faster than DOT-3 and will sometimes have a lower boiling point in...

    JC4 Vacuum pump operation and additional wires

    If you think you have good brakes at 16” you should try it at 18 or 19”. Dramatic improvement. Dave Lenzi has demonstrated this in his seminars and it makes a remarkable difference. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I didn't say it was right, I said that's what I found. It seemed...
