RE: Steering problem...looking for ideas/causes

Sent them home via airline. The were no longer interested in finishing their RV vacation. I hope you checked the Turbulence Forecast before they embarked on another form of transportation :B

RE: Forest River

Yes absolutely , condition more than brand. If you are downsizing from an A to a C , the ride might be different due to the different chassis. Research the handling end of things. Consider hiring a pro rv inspector to examine it. Might be money well spent ! In general , cabover designs have gotten better over the past 15 years . Older class C’s had more issues with leaking cabovers from roof seams, clearance lights and cabover windows. Look for water stains or painted over panels trying to hide such. Water will seek a low point. Cabover leaks can follow a path and puddle on a floor. Use a flashlight to inspect dark corners.

RE: 2005 E450 Ford V10 intermittent misfires

CEL can light-up due to a bad or dirty electrical connection from the ECU to the sensor. My mechanic always checked that at my service intervals.

RE: Need new tires

I just found it. Toyo Celsius cargo tire. Im confused reading these various weight ratings. Depending on what site you’re viewing the load index varies. Some list it as 115 which is the same as the others at 2680. Discount Tire rated it higher at 3000 and change.

RE: Need new tires

Gritdog,If you look at the weight of all LT tires in the 225/75r16 size they all have a weight rating around 2500 lbs.The Toyos are 3195 lb weight rating. Need your help with the rating. 3195. I see 2680 on Toyo models 225 75 16E’s. Cant find higher ratings .

RE: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

Grit dog, thank u. I can see the cutaway weight being a factor , makes sense.

RE: Need new tires

Kumho Crugen HT51. Very happy 3,000 mi. Previous tires on rvs were Mich, Hankook, Cooper and Bridgestone. All performed very well and these Kumo’s are an equal favorite. I buy whats on sale as a package rebate deal. Tire/ mounting/ balance/ stems. Quiet and smooth on the highway. Very good bite on wet roads. Rated 123/S. If it matters to you …..Not good for snow.

RE: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

VQ74, We might need to bring in Lt. Columbo to solve this mystery ! If you can't see anything that's broken or cracked then you need to dig into another possible avenue. I came across this link while making an attempt to help :) You guys that are mechanics would be a better judge then me. My thought is an 'electronic fault error' being sent to the tranny causing a physical-mechanical jolt in the drive system.

RE: blowing 15 amp fuse on Aux circuit

Thanks for all the reply, it doesn't have electric steps Verify items : Do u have an automatic entrance light activated by the screen door ? Check the light wires and switch. Outside awning light/porch light ? Being the outside tv is on this circuit also check the antenna booster and 12v socket. Overhead light/fan above stove.

RE: blowing 15 amp fuse on Aux circuit

When your fuse blows you should be able to start turning on all your various 12v electrical items. Those that don’t work i.e. ‘outside tv’ or whatever else doesn’t work, you will then know what is on that circuit. You probably have a short in one of those items , causing the fuse to blow right away. Isolate each piece on the circuit. Disconnect them one at a time and then try a new fuse to see if it blows right away .

RE: Balance beads and Borg valve stems

Together. Love the Borg’s. Tire balance rides smooth with the beads so far after 3,000 mi. .

RE: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

Sounds like the rear end is wrapping up. This happens when too much torque is applied. When brakes are release, the rear suspension twist is released. Common area is center bolt in spring, shackles, torsion bars and spring perches. Just a question ; Could this jolt happen if the 12v power was disconnected , like removing the battery terminals to clean them ? The ECU memory and throttle valve might be out of sync ? Could that be the cause of things wrapping up. If so, it could be a temporary condition until driving over time self corrects it.

RE: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

Need a little more information- did the jolts occur just as you stopped, or had you already been stopped for several seconds? Were they hard, gentle or normal stops? Could something heavy be loose in a compartment? VQ74, You highlighted this quote but said nothing . These questions are still unanswered. Did this happen as your started to move forward from a dead stop ? Was it due to movement ?

RE: Is there a preferred oil for the Ford V10 E-450?

As long as the oil you choose meets/exceeds the required specifications, . . . your good to go. It's that simple Exactly , It is ‘that simple’. :) That’s what the testers did with the NYC taxi motor oil testing. There was ‘no extra magic’ in being brand specific .

Also check the driveshaft u-joint.

RE: Clear oily liquid leaking from under kitchen cabinet

Ok good job. I’m glad to hear that. Not as glad as you, i’ll bet :B

RE: Clear oily liquid leaking from under kitchen cabinet

If leaking on a slant, the leak source is coming from the high side. It could be traveling the entire distance of the rv. Use a level to see how the rv is leaning while parked where you discovered this. 30 feet from : My cabover roof had a leak on the passenger side. I discovered the water leaking out near my dump valve on the driver side rear . It traveled across the 8’ rv width then down the entire length. That water can and will mix with anything along the way while seeking a low point to escape. Sometimes the liquid will puddle enroute. The water entered at the roof passenger side Then rearward along the overhead Queen bed It then ran down behind the passenger seat It then ran across the floor to the drivers side, then along the drivers side, out the rear.

RE: A/C on shore power trips breaker after 30 minustes

Disregard that time2roll, i supplied the wrong quote. Meant for the OP.

RE: A/C on shore power trips breaker after 30 minustes

Really need a volt reading in the RV and a clamp-on ammeter to do some actual diagnostics. Although at least verify the fridge and water are off or set to propane only. If the battery was low that converter will also draw significant power for 30 to 60 minutes. Check the output on that 30 amp generator plug. U need a TT-30 socket on the generator , a 120v 30amp not a 240v 30 amp. Its a different prong configuration.
