RE: Registration of New Vehicle
Could it be some E P A spec? Or something of this nature?

RE: 99 V10 - vapor lock? Fuel Pump relay? (in Sedona)
With modern high pressure fuel injection with the pump in the tank you should never have vapor lock as long as the fuel is under pressure.

It should not have used that much oil. Correct oil? Leaks?

RE: Brake problem
If it turns out to be axle lube check the axle tube vent.

RE: Converting Chevy 454 engine to Chevy Workhorse engine
BulletLS1 is so right, make the change only if you will enjoy the work. I'm putting a 2006 8.1 that I bought from Work Horse in late 2007. It was used for heat test in there, then experimental rear engine chassic and had 7,200 miles. I got engine, all sensors except 02 and MAF for less than $1550.00 and bought a new 2007 4L80E for $1500.00. I will have spent that much again on wiring, (Speartech) and modifacations to install the engine and transmission in my Revcon. I have tried to keep it all GM so anyone can work on it. I started on it the week of Thanks Giving 2008 and would have it running by now except I rebuilt the front suspension, put in a 2007 chevy truck dash, a 2004 steering column and am rewiring the rest of the coach. For now I'm using a inline fuel pump, but plain on going to in tank pumps and GM gage units. Original engine was a carb 454 and transmission was TH 475 (400). Rated HP was 215 @ 3,400 RPM and torque 332 ft. lbs. @ 3,400 RPM. The 8.1 is rated at about 340 HP and 480 ft lbs., or there about. I will end up with a finial drive of 3.15 to 1 with a lock-up converter, before it was 3.35 to 1 and no lock-up. I have learn a lot and would I do it again, ask me later.

RE: Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse mortgage would be the last thing I would do, I too am debt free and would NEVER use a reverse mortgage to buy something with a value that sinks like a rock. It's a free country.

RE: Has anyone replaced Motor Aid lines?
The ones on my 82 Revcon are copper tubing with 5/8" heater hose on each end.

RE: Heading to the Keys ?
I've been there several times, but never in the Revcon. I think you will be fine, I don't remember anything that tight, now I wouldn't try to drive the coach around Key West.

RE: My turn to wine about mpg (follow up observation)
Dave, I have enjoyed following this string, makes me wonder what I will end up with (8.1). I'm a little concerned with my finial ratio of 3.11 to 1 with the lock up (4L80E). The only other thing I can do is change the ring & pinion to 4.10, swap the transfer gears and end up with 3.42 or 4.33 3.61? By the way 3.35 to 1 is stock with a 454 Revcon, diesels were 3.73 to 1.

I think it is a carry over from mobile homes that also float.

RE: 1985 Pinnacle class A
I think the key here is how much of the work are you willing/able to do and still like the motor home? Could be fun.

RE: Is tire truing a thing of the past?
If you have a out of round tire/wheel, break it down turn it 180 degrees on the rim to see if it improves or not. Sometimes if the tire and rim high spots get lined up it makes the out of round much worse.

RE: Workhorse Chassis Brake Fluid change?
The rubber gasket/top inside the master cylinder cap is made to be pulled down as the fluid goes down and up. I doubt it is perfect, but does work well, the fluid shouldn't be exposed to the outside air. VW for one requires the fluid be changed every 2 years, not many do it even if they know about it.

RE: Ford F53, Hydromax Brake Bleed ???
I believe the electric motor effects the PS fluid and not the brake fluid, bleed the brakes in the normal way.

RE: No water pressure
Mine is a 82 and I know they do things different now, but mine has a screen/filter between the pump and the tank that has stopped up with a gel like substance a few times, usually in the spring after sitting in the winter. Worth a look.

It might make since, Monaco already owes Navistar/Workhorse a bundle and yes there are already IH engines in workhorse.

If batteries are discharged they will freeze, a lesson you only need to learn once, makes a mess of everything.

RE: rear axle on motorhome
Finding a good used replacement may be the hardest part. Not rocket science, just heavy work if it is rear wheel drive. Changed mine in a campground in Mississippi and it is front wheel drive.
