RE: Kwikee Step

I'm going to suggest the 3 bushings have flattened, allowing the motor to keep rotating. It is a common issue that causes people to buy motors and gear boxes, when all that's needed is the bushings. The bushings fit inside of this gear.
Take the gear and cover off the side of the motor and you will see the issue.
Bushings also available from Oreilly Auto Parts, for Ford power windows

RE: Motorhomes with 19.5 vs 22.5 tires

That person that give you the tire information is NOT well informed. Do not use him for repairs.
My old coach with 16" tires handles very well.
Handling all depends on alignment and maybe a add-on or 2.

RE: Where are my spark plugs? Found them....

Ya sure had to take a lot apart to find those plugs. Grin
Yeah, some times I get carried away and do thing the hard way.
If ya look real close, just to the right of the cherry picker (red). You'll see ½ of # 8 cylinder of the replacement block.
The garage is getting a little cluttered with stuff.

I see it, looks like it's covered in plastic.
Why the new block? Looks like a big job. Keep us posted.
We like those pictures.
The 528 stroker engine was a piece of **** from the start. Burned oil, piston rattle, etc. I picked the wrong engine builder. I should have built it myself, but I couldn't find any one in the KC area that could deck the block. Then it burned a valve and I decided to rebuild the old 460 and scrap the 528.
And as I try to type I have a 15# golden tabby on my computer desk pawing at my keyboard. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I may need a trip to the brothel? GRIN..........

RE: Manifold Replacements

"the grease pit side of things" is what fixes things. The engineering side of things is what caused the issue to begin with.

#3 I did just as you suggested. Installed a transfer switch and inverter in the generator line. When the inverter is on my MH thinks the generator is running and I must manage energy usage.

If your MH engine doesn't over heat now, I would leave the radiator alone. The radiator in my 95 F53 is original.

RE: Fuel gauge calibration

Sometimes, ethanol can build up on the fuel sender "card".
Running Techron additive in the tank can clean the ethanol off.
Would you please define "fuel sender card" I've not heard of this item before. Also how would ethanol get in the diesel fuel of the OP's fuel tank?

RE: Recommended tools for a newbie

I have been caught with out the tool that I needed. Went to the hard ware store and purchased the necessary tool. The cost of the tool is far less than paying some one for the repair. Then you can toss the tool in the trash and still be ahead........

Gas or Diesel?
If diesel it will have glow plug/s not spark plugs.
What chassis?
I was told it's a Dodge BP block from the 70s..............GROAN..........

To add to what RedRollingRoadblock said. I carry a square drive screw set, adapters to drive sockets with my 1/2" battery powered drill motor. Torque wrench & a baster to add ATF to the ZF emergency brake. (mine leaks a little).
