Found this military surplus coolant expansion tank on EBay it is like the Aqua Hot expansion tank.  In my case I am going to replace my leaking CRS 300 coolant recovery tank on the engine.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Military-Radiat...SwUrdbckjn

The particular part number is OshKosh 3772036/Flambeau 0621B9AE for when the eBay link goes away....

Hey all,
I am slowly building up my spare parts inventory as the P.O. Left very little with the coach. I ran across a pretty good deal today on the upper radiator hose [Dayton # 78225 GL). I have seen this run from 70.00 120.00. I ordered 2 of them today for 21.43 each. Below is the link if anyone is interested. By the way, I have an 8v92 so not sure what else it might fit.

Anyone in Bandera TX this week with a '90's model coach?  Saw one on Monday or Tuesday coming into town.

On the driver side rear where the 50 amp cord goes into the transfer switch (I assume) there is a relay similar to the heater relays etc.  A 110 plug is wired into this as well as  two 3 wire cords going back into the interior. A converter/charger is plugged into the 110. Any ideas as the what this relay does?? No 110 at the plug and the charger has been decommissioned at some point. Relay appears to be closed when powered up.

I got here because the power goes on/off when gen running, ok with shore and inverter.??

The transfer switch is humming a bit louder than I remember as well.

As usual thanks in advance, Mark

Just received my SilverLeaf Electronics VMSpc today.  They sent the right plug Smile

When setting it up there were two DD S60 engine options, one for 1994-1997 engines and one for I assume all others as it didn't have any years associated with it.  My coach was built in January 1994 so I assume the engine was possibly/likely built in 93.  Which engine model should I go with?

I tried them both in the software and couldn't see a difference, but that was just with my engine idling.  My engine plate on the valve covers says DDEC III/IV if that makes a difference.

Second question is when I ordered it I told them I had a 1994 Newell with a DD60, DDEC III.  They sent the CD for the V.4.0.8 software version which the website clearly says is for 2007 and newer coaches.  I went ahead and installed the 3.0.x version off there web site which was stated s being or older engines.

Is it possible he version 4.0.X will work with my older DD60 and would there be any advantages?

Since we have a place in Colorado and will be spending our summers there I'm thinking of buying a 4x4 vehicle to leave there rather than towing our Tahoe from home each year.  I want an suv smaller than our Tahoe that is still flat towable and seats 4 adults.  There are so many 4x4 trails near us that I want something offroad capable with low range and good clearance.  On my short list are Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Commander, Hummer H3, older 4Runner/Lexus GX470, Xterra manual.  Had a couple Liberty's but want something more capable offroad and better driving onroad.  It's an hour to town just for groceries.  I would love a Range Rover or Discovery but concerned about reliability.  
It will be left over the winter where we get 150" of snow so not looking for new.  I do have electricity there so can leave a battery maintainer hooked to it but it will be uncovered.
What are your thoughts?  It'll probably be split 50/50 on and off road.  We're fairly close to Lake City so the Alpine Loop is a good example of the trails we'll be doing with the ability to do more challenging trails a +.
