Had the coach running at high idle the engine spit sputtered and stalled, fortunately at home!   Tried to start engine again with no luck.  BTW no check engine light came on during this event.  Suspected fuel related issue as the filter was almost full....changed filters found a little water perhaps a table spoon's worth.  Tried cranking again with no luck, fiddle around checking breakers and connections finding nothing to speak of (Breakers had not tripped) i.e. no white ring exposed.  Tried to start again and managed to get it running for a few minutes then it stalled again.  Put a fuel pressure gauge on the pump finding zero pressure during the crank phase. 

Pulled fuel pump to check "Star" coupling from the compressor to fuel pump drive....that was good to go.  Left it off in case I am going to replace the pump.

Next in line was the fuel return check valve on bell housing end of the engine head. If this is stuck open fuel pressure will not build up.  No way to even see this area much less get to it....EXCEPT Newell engineers removed the DD Check valve from the head and put on the return line near the tank.....easy peezy. Took the check valve to Detroit Service Center in Ocala to pick up a new one.  Spoke with the tech in the shop as to possible causes of my problem.  He gave a list of things that it could be in the order of expense the least to most expensive.  He checked the valve stating that it was good.  So next would be the SRS sensor of which there are three different P/Ns so back home to remove it and get the correct part number.  By now you can probably tell I am ready to through parts at it to get it fixed.  Can you say how glad I am the coach is at home!!

Put everything back together to verify "Crank no Start no Check Engine Light".  Tried to start several times with no luck....same condition.  One more time I checked the DEEC circuit breakers...this is one of the culprits the Detroit technician mentioned.  This time I physically put my fingers on each breaker and pulled....one of them had a gritty sound as it moved to the tripped position with hardly any effort.  The other was rock solid and could not be pulled.  I reset the pulled breaker and tried to pull it back out it would not pull back out....Ahha!  Needless to say I have two breakers coming and will change them out!

Cranked the engine for perhaps 10 sec and it fired right up!!  I had left the fuel pressure gauge connected to the high side of the fuel pump which showed 15 to 20 lbs of pressure.  I think I am going to leave it installed as it is real handy TS tool.

I shudder to think, if on the side of the road, things would have been a lot different not to mention the cost to get going again.  The one breaker evidently was tripped internally and due to the girt the white band stayed hidden.  I think, as a preemptive, these breakers would need changing due to the "gotcha factor" involved if they are any where near the originals.

I replaced our commode with a Tecma Macerator marine toilet.
Removed the original Microfor LF-250. Unit is in good shape.

Coach 410, 1996
I just removed and replaced my single and dual SCS basement units.
Single unit has brand new compressor and dryer. Charged with NU-22 refrigerant. Works fine.
Dual unit. 2cd stage works fine. 1st stage trips breaker. 
Both are free for anyone. 
You pay palletized shipping or come and get’um.
We are located about an hour south of Sweetwater, Texas just off I-20.

I replaced with a 24,000 BTU, heat pump, 240v split unit. Outside unit mounted in bay where old single unit resided. There are 2 of 12,000 BTU low floor models in living room.
There is a 750 cfm circulating grow fan sucking on the original 2 stage return air in the living room and distributing through the original ducts to the kitchen, bath room and bedroom.

Hey ladies and Gents! 
Recently purchased Coach 360 to update and renovate. The 12v system is a mess and not operating currently. Have ordered a new Invertor/Charger and 8 New C-8 Batts. Had to change the contactors before anything worked... Making my way through the systems... My question is about  The Yanmar Generator.  It was running well, but shut down when the fuel crossover clogged and the gen tank got below 25%. Have power to the starter 12.9v but the Solenoid is fried. Does anyone know the starter brand/model number? Huge Thanks in advance!  Newell Newby.

While change my salon slide seal found the rear slide lock leaking from the plunger/pin area.  Decided to try replacing the seals (see image below for part numbers) mainly to see If it is possible. 

Removed the switch housing on top of the lock and pushed the slide pin out.  The internal seal was completely deteriorated and retained by a snap ring.  From what I could tell that seal was an squared "U" shaped seal, not an O-ring,  The "U" was facing the pressure side of the chamber.  Using my Dial Calipers I came up with dimensions for the internal seal and the others as well.  The closest McMaster-Carr had to the square "U" was a X profile and Double X-Profile seal.  I chose the double x profile as it is designed for a dynamic installation.  I was able to fit the seal into the channel without having to remove the internal snap ring after cleaning it out thoroughly. 

The next item to note, on the slide pin is two Teflon backing rings on each side of the O-ring.  Those are solid and not split like most backing ringsI made a tool to take it apart but did not bother as they looked great to reuse as is.  

Checked the operation of the switch with an OHM meter all good there.  

Reassembled the lock assembly and installed into the coach for leak and operational checks.  Happy to report no leaks and works great!!

I was heading out to the grocery store from our site in Cherry Creek State Park in Denver around dusk and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the unmistakable shape of a Hastings Hump in the front of the Abilene Loop!

It was too dark on my way back to catch a picture, but plan to say hi tomorrow morning if they're still there.

Hi all. I just figured out that my air bond are not working. From what I can tell the air horn and city horn operate independently of each other. When I open the air horn, I can hear something at the horn location on the roof, anyone have experience in trouble shooting and repair of there air horms? Thanks

Hello Everyone, my outlet that my aqua hot basement heater plugs into doesn’t have power. I’ve looked over all the AC breakers in basement and closet and all are working. Does anyone know if there’s another breaker or reason my outlet is inop? I’m needing to get this fixed ASAP since we have winter around the corner. I currently have extension cord run from another outlet so the heater works but would obviously like the proper outlet to work as well. Any help would be appreciated!
