First let me state that I am not a huge fan of the Cat motors. However Cat is a giant corporation. They will concentrate on doing what they do best. make...
If in fact CAT is considering getting out of the OTR engine business b/c of poor profit margins due to EPA regs, etc, it may well be b/c they have become a...
The later models, maybe not you Kelly, since I think you have a 99??, have two 110 plugs in the refer compartment. One shore power and the other inverter. At...
Jeff, It is correct that our models (ok I have a 2000 36S but the identical fridge as Kelly) do have two 110V electrical plugs, however, one is for the ice...
Jim In my coach the ice maker WILL work when the coach is on propane i.e. boondocking as you stated. I believe that is the REAL reason for the setup but it...
Jeff, Yes .. that is the advantage of an absorption ice maker. Since it works through the normal process, it doesn't require that 120 volts to produce ice....
I want to have this ability for two reasons. One, with the fridge running on electric, there is -0- concern about the flame blowing out. Second, it gives...
Jerry, I had the same problem on my '04 38N, right inside tire. I noticed the outside was wearing too much and when I checked the inside it was bald and I...
Kelly: Hi there. It is not FL's fault that the gas tank is so small. FW tells FL what they want in the chassis and FL builds it accordingly. I do agree that...
When the subject filter is removed does the disconnected line syphon fuel? I know opening the big filter/water separator does not, but how about the little...
Hi! Would you say that there is a "vintage" year for the 39Z between 1999 and 2002? I would tend to think that the newest (that is, 2002) should be the best,...

... Thanks Hal, just the info I need. My filter is located in front of the right rear wheels and is not the easiest thing to get to. Will keep your ...
I would say not. If I were to pick a year, It would be after they switched to the High Pressure Common Rail system. There are some issues with the VP-44 Bosh...
Actually, let me add to my prior post. If you have a Racor filter, you also have an ISB02 freightliner chassis with a Cummins engine. The fuel tank on the...
... I'll make sure I have something to plug that line so a minimal amount is lost. On the larger lines I usually use a large phillips screwdriver to plug them....
Ray, you hit the nail on the head. And there are really only two years, the "01 and "02 with the six speed and 300Hp option - 11 - 13 mpg on cruise at 62 mph...
George/Robert: Thanks a lot for your insights and shared experience. As soon as I get my finances in order, the hunt is on for a 2001-2002 39Z then! Cheers! ...
Ray, you should be aware of the potential fuel pump problem with the 99' to 02 models. The fuel pump can quit & cause the $2000 injector pump to go out. The...
What changed after 02 that made the mileage go down so much? I only get 7.5mpg with my 300hp C7 and a six speed trani burning ULSD. Not real happy about...

Thanks for the info. Turns out that the valve extension was defective on mine and there was 95 pounds in the inside dual so we are on our way. We also will hit...
