Lou, Jim Black told me if you have smooth brass upper& lower tanks, you need a 7 psi cap. A corrugated tank can handle more pressure, but he did not say how...
How about one of you guys explaining to this FMC rookie how the automotive air conditioning system works. Is it on (clutch engaged) all of the time whenever...
John, I will attempt to describe the general operation of the system. I am not the expert and encourage the expert, Eric W. to give you a complete answer....
I need to add that there is also a low pressure sensor in the corner of the engine compartment on the low pressure intake to the compressor that shuts the AC...
Stephen, Thanks for the info-- I had a suspicion that it was normal to be on all the time, but wondered why they would do that when they had an engine cooling...
John, it is interesting that you discuss a clutch on the fan. FMC never put a clutch on the fan. It is not recommended on a pusher fan setup. The reason is...
Stephen, I didn't speak clearly-- I was referring the the clutch on the air conditioning compressor. The fan is pushing air out thru the radiator, which I...
John, I've seen those scoops and louvers, and not just on FMC's. I personally think they don't do anything as the air on the sides of a vehicle can be null by...
John, You are going to make me feel bad as you are getting all these things done and I am way behind on my projects! That said, I took the louvers off my ...
I put a link to the PDF's of my FMC repair manual that was in my coach when I bought it. It is in the "Links" page of this forum. Many of the service bulletins...
Greg, My two coaches had a white 3-ring binder marked FMC 2900. Those seem to have operating instructions and maybe how to drive also. Lot's of barely useful...
Hello All, Just wanted to let you know how helpful (and daunting) it was reading all the recent posts on this subject. After watching the video on tire age, I...
Eddie, Go the links page (6th link down on the forum web page) and find my link to the manual. You can either just click on it and it should open in the web...
There are three manuals that I am aware of: the Owners Manual (how to operate the coach), the Parts/Repair Manual (which Greg F has posted on his website with...
Hi Vivian, We missed you at the West Coast Mini Rally in November. And yes, we will be having another one sometime this spring. Greg M., who was at the rally,...
Thanks for the tip about the companion FMC group-- did not know about it, and found the info I needed on the Onan there--- I have SO MUCH to learn!!! John 275 ...
Does anyone have, or know of, any use for these 17 inch locking ring wheels that i have removed from 275? I hate to sell them for scrap if someone can use...
I still have my wheels sitting out in a shed as I, like John, wonder if any one could have a use for them. Since FMC made military vehicles, does any one know...
My understanding is that at that time this was a standard size and that the largest user of that size was United Parcel Service. UPS no longer uses that size....
I use mine to hold up my parts coach,(#412) I bought it for the alcoa wheels and transfered them to #902. Now I have #100 and it also has the alcoa 19.5"...
I'd love to have them, but surely those are far away. Today another FMC has been found near Houston. Only info is horrible looking 2 tone blue paint, said to...

Go over to the Travco site and check. I think the same lug pattern was used there. They had both a 5 and 6 lug as well as the normal 1 ton 8 lug. GEORGE!!---...
The big travco uses the same 5 lug patern although the center hole in the wheel can be slightly smaller than the FMC. I tried to use the spare off a friends...
Hi all, I found a set of 19.5 steel wheels, correct 5 lug pattern, and the center hole the correct size, I tried one to be sure. Come with Michelin tires and a...
Tim The 19.5 wheels are all budd style and need some different lugs and nuts. The r/f studs can remain, the l/f studs can be pressed out and installed in the...
