i am posting this on behalf of a fellow guru who is currently driving.  he has an 02 newell.

he said while driving all the gauges and everything electrically related to having the ignition on goes dead on and off randomly.  he hears clicking in the relay panel in front of the passengers feet.

suggestions?   he has replaced the ignition relay several times in the past for ignition being dead.  

thanks

tom

As related in another thread I drug the Aquahot exhaust trying to back into my driveway a couple of weeks ago and ended up with a puddle of coolant on the street.  I assumed that I had cracked the weld where the exhaust enters the tank.  I talked to Rudy and he tended to agree but suggested I pressure test it to make sure.  I finally got my hands on a pressure tester and after pumping it up I got no leaks.  I fired it up on diesel and brought it up to near boiling but still no leak.  After starting the engine to pressure up my air systems to check them I started getting the leak.  Any Ideas?

K     Any ideas beside this inverter being made in China, Junk. Why it will not power my T.V.

1. I can plug a drill into the outlet on the inverter and it works fine.


My system should be very little draw since the inverters just power the 2 tv’s. When I attempt to switch  the inverter switch the solenoid works but the inverter errors as it drops volts eventually blows the fuses on the inverter. 

2. Second clue is if I plug into a gfci plug from my house it will trip also when I try to plug in my tv circuit. I can plug into another house plug and it will work fine.

3. I question is my problem the 12 volt/ 120 ac relay causes me issues, if so do I even need this relay. Could I just connect the hard wire the 120 volt wires together. I wonder though if the power would back feed to the inverter. I’m thinking the relay must activate when shore power plugged in because I have power at tv’s

Lastly I remember those plug style inverters are a little finicky. Will a hard wired in inverter solve my problem.

Any thoughts?

    Need help, anyone know what this valve does, and should it have a hose hooked up to the bottom barb.

I noticed it was leaking air when I turned key on and  my dash heating controls, what was weird was my supply tank was empty until I turned on heater controls, once on the supply tank filled with 65 lbs of air and I noticed My left side airbags deflated. I assume the airbags filled my supply tank. Any thoughts. Thanks

Just an update on rebuilding the GM tilt, telescopic, steering column on our 1984. The usual problem with these having the tilt bolts come loose deep in the column had become unbearable. After getting in over my head due to a modification made to a steering wheel mounting  shim made by Newell way back in 84,  I was not able to put the shaft back together. I put my pride aside and I sent the column to Steering Services, in Utah to have him re assemble my fine work. Glad I did. He said I needed a bottom bearing in the shaft. it felt ok to me , but I went ahead and had it done. The shaft came back to me in a few days, and now after 1000 miles, I have an added bonus of no more road wander. Strait and solid. I can only guess that the bottom bearing was giving the steering system just enough play to continually need correction by the driver.
