My 2000 Bounder DP has an Allison MT643 transmission with almost 50k miles. I would like to change the fluid to Transyn and the filters. Has anyone done this...
Changing a transmission's fluid *completely* is a challenge because of the torque converter and the fluid radiator system. I'm a serious DIY- guy, and I'd...
Kelly Thanks for the reply. The shop was not going to flush it for $600, only drain the pan and refill the pan with synth C4, plus the filters. What I am...
You'd be about 93% synthetic, which, in my gearheaded opinion, is plenty good. Do it yourself and save a few hundred. $600...ouch! Kelly ... only drain the...
I know it's caused by two things, typically. Low air flow...I've played with the filters/vents lately, and played with them more today, less problems...and...
Kelly, sounds like bad news. The roof top units are basically window air conditioning units. If you can find someone that repairs window units, they should...
According to my book my axle capacities are as follows: Front: 9350 Rear: 15500 But I am wondering if this weight is a limitation due to tire size or for ...
Derrell, You need to call Freightliner Custom Chassis in Gaffney, SC at (800) 385-4357. They will needed the last six digits of your VIN. The tech there can...
Thanks for the reply. I know that my rig is rated for 24,850. 9,350 front and 15,500 rear. However I think some of the 9,350 weight limitation of the front...
Derrell, The 1999 36S and the 39Z specs are the following. The front axle is a Rockwell FD-965 I-Beam, axle capacity is 9,500 lbs. Your coach front axle GAWR...
Again thanks for the reply. Just curious, where did you find those axle numbers. that is the info I was looking for? Derrell 1999 39Z BOA 2227, FMCA, GS...
Derrell, Go to www.fleetwoodrv.com. Click on "Diesel Coaches," Click on "Bounder Diesel," Look under "Request Brochures" click on Download. Choose a Fleetwood...
OK. Thanks for the info. In any case, it looks like with my 255/70 I can run 100 psi in the front and 90 psi in the rear. That will give me plenty of ...
Anyone know of a good website that shows which vehicles can be towed '4-down' with a towbar? I've yet to find one, and manufacturers' sites don't have any...
You an go here and get some pretty current information. _Dinghy Towing Guide from Towing World_ (http://www.towingworld.com/towables.html) Derrell 1999 39Z ...
Hello Kelly and folks.. To begin with the rooftop AC units use R22 in their systems. This refridgerant is the same material used in your residental units for...
Hello all, My wife, the barely tolerant RV copilot, is about to quit over this one. When we are at 60mph or over, especially in windy conditions, it seems the ...
Have someone in a car drive beside your awning and report their observations to you. While they are doing this, they can also verify that your tires are...
Okay, like most of y'all, I have two of eight OEM mud flaps left intact. I have four new ones, Astroturf-like, to keep spray to a minimum, in theory. I'll...
I don't believe Fleetwood attaches these with 8 small sheet metal screws. Horribly lame. I mean, c'mon, guys, between wind, water and road debris, they have...
My wife hates riding around in/driving our Suzuki GV toad. Granted, the clutch is a bear when you have a fused left ankle. I can only imagine.... We have a...
Well, the 3/8" lag bolts work well, when you can find something to put them into. Still, I have two of four into some solid metal, and it's looking good....
Kelly, You have a knack for finding fun, though challenging farkles! I just recently resolve my problem with not being able to tow my 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe ......
Yeah, gotta keep life interesting, y'know.... I'd like to turn our current toad into something more comfy, but I can't justify a *fourth* car, as I've finally...
I had mine exchanged for a metal covered A & E. Much better, but now Carefree has one with a rafter system to drain water too. Joe '03 39Z, Wrangler towd ... ...
Well. I'm glad I haven't seen what the skeleton of this machine looks like, 'cause it seems to be hit or miss if you drill into styrofoam or steel. Not...
