While having some preventative maintenance on our 8V92TA, this rust was discovered in the engine , passenger side. This is the first time the valve cover has been removed in the past 7 years and 38 thousand miles. WE have had several oil analysis done during this time, with zero water or coolant found in the oil. Would a Detroit Diesel repair shop have left this rust , and not removed it during the rebuild process? Am I not bringing the engine up to full operating temperature often enough (every 30 days ) during extended storage? Any thoughts?

All my air bags are new or at least they look new but had a tag axle air bag leaking from the bottom not the top where the fitting is, Richard recommended green slime so I bought a quart of it and made an IV drip into the fitting on top of the air bag but it was to slow so I had the bright idea of poking a hole in the bottom of the plastic container and perhaps it would go quickly. Nope! So I got the brighter idea to pressurize the plastic container to speed up the process and it worked! Got a half quart into the air bag before the plastic bottle blew out on me, Yep I looked like Shrek the Ogre, but after cleaning myself up and all my tools I aired up the coach and NO leak from the bottom of the bag. I am done for the day!

This is the best service instruction manual I have found for the early 2010-2017 Def Tank and Head.  Great photos and detailed instructions.
I had a DEF quantity gauge that went from over half full to nearly empty causing a code.  If it would have gone to empty I would have been limited to 5 MPH from what I understand.  Of course it had to happen in Mexico.  I plan to pull the DEF Head out, flush/clean the tank and head unit, replace the suction filter on the head unit and see if there is any visible problem.  The DEF level sensor is replacible and there are testing procedures in the manual.
It is a great time to remove some of the hardware, bead blast & paint it.  DEF is corrosive and some has likely spilled in its lifetime.  I'm using POR15 as my paint, that stuff is bullet proof.

I've been searching for information about my steering wheel in my 2005 Newell. I found the following link that has some information. There doesn't seem to be much info about these steering wheels.

[attachment=11173 Does anyone have a source for one of these 12 v solenoids for fuel shut off. ? This came off our 1984 8V82TA. I am trying to avoid having to fab a new bracket for a modern day solenoid. My only other option would be to convince an auto electric rebuilder to rebuild this solenoid.
The wife says I have to give her cutting board back that I use to choke off the turbo  Smile
Thanks,
Guy
