    Fittings to reverse my master brake cyl lines.

    One fitting is 7/16 24. The other is 5/16 20. So one is an inverted flare adapter 7/16 24 x 5/16 20 and the other is 5/16 20 x 7/16 24. Most auto parts stores carry them. Locally Advance seems to carry a larger assortment than O’Riellys. Emery Stora > > Anyone have the part numbers for the...

    DOT 5.1 brake fluid

    Dolph It is great. I replaced four rear 11” disc brakes with Chevy calipers with Dave’s 13” discs on the mid axle and no brakes at all on the rear. I also replaced my P30 master cylinder with the original to give higher pressure. It is now more like braking a car than a motorhome. A huge...

    GMC Water Heater Elements

    GMC Water Heater Elements

    Tom Sorry, but the wattage is 1/4 if you run a 240 volt element on 120 volts. So a 240 volt 4000 watt element running on 120 volts would put out 1000 watts. Emery Stora >> From: Gmclist on behalf of Thomas >> Phipps >> Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2018 20:28 >> To: gmclist >> Subject: Re...

    Onan Questions

    That is not actually a voltage regulator. It is a battery charger. There are two reasons to remove it. 1. It is a very slow charger and it will not put much current into the house battery. The battery charger / smart charger / buzz box that you have will charge the battery much faster and it...

    Have you done anything with your rail awning lately? The rear top lights have usually been wired backwards by the factory. They have the hot lead going to the shell of the lights and the ground wire going to the bulb. Since the shell is screwed down to the fiberglass panel it didn’t cause any...

    Needed: 50 amp power cable

    It appears that most of the replies I am getting is that I should change to a 30 amp cable. I am not interested in doing that. I am merely trying to find an original cable which is actually a 40 amp cable. Even though the plug is the same as a 50 amp, the cable is marked as a 40 amp. Emery...
