xxSUCCESSFUL Rescue

[sean kidd]

Thank you Ken, once it audibly "snapped" in I was sure to seat it by tapping the edges of the snapring with a hammer and screwdriver. The rubber dust
ring, made similar to the seal, but flat (rubber covered metal disc) needs to be slightly compressed for it to seat properly. I also purposefully
ensured the eyes of the new snapring faced the cockpit, the one that came out was facing the front of the coach which made it more challenging.

Hello again,

I'm sorry for the delay. After working on the coach with Sean and Scott (thanks again, so very much!), I had a really bad fall and have been non-stop
busy since so I couldn't get on the forum to update. Nothing broken, but badly bruised, ha.

Yes, I drove the coach out of Scott's yard (Sean you'd be proud because I backed it out myself!) and through about a 5 mile series of winding roads
out of Scott's lake community, then another 5 miles or so to the local exhaust shop where she's now waiting for a quote on the new tail pipe. We
checked the seal once I parked the coach and everything seemed perfect. I'll be triple checking the power steering fluid once the exhaust work is
completed before I drive the coach again.

In the meantime, I need to work on the air bag control and look for new schrader valves. The controls don't stay in place so I'm ordering the gasket
kit from allied. There is a slow leak to the air bags, so I hope it's just the valves. If not, I do have one new airbag, so I'll be in the market for
a second if the rebuild and new valves don't solve the problem.

I clearly need to learn how to resize photos to share. I tried to attach one because I was really proud of myself backing it in between two trucks at
the shop, but regardless of how small I resize it, it won't load. I'll figure it out and share later. :lol:

There are lots of fittings that can leak, not to mention many feet of plastic line that can get abraided/nicked. So its not necessarily the control
that leaks.

You can't attach photos. The server doesn't have enough storage for people to do that, so the sysadmin set the attachment size to useless.

You post pictures to the photo site ( http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/ ) and then put the URL of the photo site page in your post. You can use the
IMG tags to imbed the image for forum users or use the process for imbedding the image for forum users AND the url for the email subscribers located
here:

You can kind of fix the OEM valves with the kit. Replace them with J.R. Slaton's valves and worry no more. While you're at it, have a look at the
oil cooler lines which run from the side of the radiator to the right side of the engine. If they're in good shape, cool. If they're braided steel,
even better. If they aren't, consider a set of J.R.'s braided lines which he sells at cost. A filure of one of these lines will result in the loss
of oil pressure and oil, and very quickly will as we used to say, 'lunch the mill'.
