RE: New Crate Engine 454 up and running
Has anything been done to the throttle body or was it just removed from the old engine?
T B's have a problem with an internal regulator getting weak and with less fuel pressure they can backfire.
The regulator was easy to replace without removing the T B (IIRC)and was available at regular auto parts stores the last time I replaced one.

RE: Favorite way to use blueberries?
Since I have my own blueberry bushes I walked out back and picked about a qt. came inside and made blueberry pancakes for lunch today!!
My berries are the size of dimes! They stick out of both sides of the pancake.
I add cinnamin to the mix then drop the berries into the batter after I pour it on the griddle.
A couple years ago I picked about 15 gallons of berries!! This year will be lighter. :(

RE: 89 Fleetwood Southwind Radiator Removal
You should still be able to buy a new radiator. It is a very popular Chevy truck chassis.

RE: Slaw recipes
I finely shread the cabbage and just add mayo and sugar to taste.
I get many compliments on it!
When I make it there is too much for me so I give half to a friend of mine down the street. She has given some to friends and her cousin. Her cousin always asks if I have any more???

RE: 89 Fleetwood Southwind Radiator Removal
I had a 1989 27' Southwind. I put a mechanical temp gage on it and a switch so I could manually turn on the radiator fans.
I wanted the fan switch so I could do a faster cool down when getting off the interstate before I shut down for gas or food.
Do a permanant repair, you don't want to have to repair it on the road.

RE: 1990 Southwind coach electric problems
That sounds like dirty contacts on that relay too.
A new relay should not be too expensive, I would just replace it.

RE: Crazy steering wobble/shake
Since we are shooting in the dark, with higher air pressure you might have an "S" cam sticking after you release the foot brake. ????

RE: P30 Chassis
Ring and pinion, No. You will need the low ratio at some point.
That leaves you two options, newer model transmission with overdrive and aftermarket electrical control or a overdrive auxilliary transmission like a "GearVender".
Both options will be expensive even doing it yourself!

RE: Sweet potatoes...am I late to the game?
I love them candied!
I make Candied Sweet Potatoes using the microwave, it's fast and easy!
Bake taters in microwave.
Peel, slice into bowl, add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Bake again in microwave to melt butter and sugar. YUM!!

RE: 1990 Southwind coach electric problems
I had a 1989 Southwind, the switches over the door were sticky and would stay on instead of momentary and burned up the relays!
Those battery solonoid looking things are "Latch Relays". If you put 12V to the control terminals + to - it closes the relay, - to + it opens the relay.
Those relays cost about $80. EACH!!!
Lub the rocker switches with silicone spray.

RE: Turnips
I'm not a turnip eater BUT if I wanted to cook them my choice would be to pressure cook them. Probably in the 20 minute range and sliced, you would need to experiment with time.
I cook a lot of veggies in my P cooker. Quarter a head of cabbage and in it goes! P cooking keeps the flavor without watering it down.
(I'm waiting for the background checks to start on Pressure Cookers.)

RE: Air Filter
While changing an air filter is normally a simple task when you are at an interval that it needs changing there are other service items that need attention.
If you have an owners manual it should give the service items and mileage intervals.

RE: Dash Air....R-134 or?
134A systems have quick disconnect fittings, R12 had screw on fittings.
If you buy an upgrade kit it comes with the screw on fittings that convert it to quick disconnect.
Just look at the fittings on the system.

RE: Meat Loaf Recipes
I always make about 5 lbs of meatloaf. Eat part, refrigerate part and cut in portion size slices, wrap in alum foil and freeze part.
Nothing like a 5 minute (microwave) meatload sandwich or meal!
I add plenty of bread and (Townhouse)cracker fill, mixed well, because it takes on the flavors very well.
I keep it pretty simple, I don't like a "busy" meatloaf.
I also saulte chopped onions in butter before adding. Gives great flavor without the harshness.

RE: Roof replacement for 1992 Winnebago
I replaced the roof on a 1974 Winnebago Indian back about 1984.
When the "sandwich" fails it has to be replaced.
I had to build it on the ground from glue, luan plywood, foam, with a aluminum topping (semi trailer roofing) then slide it up on the roof and trim and fasten.
I pulled the MH close to my house roof and put both roof AC's on the house roof for storage.
I glued/stapled a light weight carpet to it when done for a headliner.
It was a real PITA but I was younger and just went with it!

RE: 8.1L Engine Radiator Aux Fans
My last MH had the fans controled with a thermostat to come on when temp was up.
I put a switch on the dash so I could manually turn them on to help with cool down when coming off the innerstate to stop for gas or if I seen a temp rise I wanted to lower.
It was easy because there is a relay that turns them on and I just hooked 12v to the control side of the relay through the switch.

RE: Imported Foods
The reason for this post was to raise awarenes that some common foods might have unhealthy origins and it doesn't hurt to check their origin.
Not to bash Walmart or Dollar stores!
