Coach 1482 dash air uses M8 on low side and M10 on the high side.  I have been getting parts from Air Components for 35 years.  They also have a SCUBA shop there.
M10 Valve Core and M8 Valve Core   

Hi Tech Testing:            

Well, I recently took my rig to have an oil leak fixed.  When I went to lift the engine hatch, the left side would not release.  Pulled the taillight to manipulate the latch and still could not get it to release.  The Tech cut the striker and the hatch went up.  He has been unlucky finding a striker.  

Has anyone replaced these strikers before and have a source/part number?  They tried one from O'Reilly's, but was unsuccessful.

Thanks and Happy New Year!!

Here is the brand new unit that I have.

50 Amp Bluetooth Surge Protector with Auto Shutoff - Portable - Hughes Autoformers

I received the new unit as a warranty claim.  I also have a brand new replacement module, like this.

Replacement Surge Module for PWD50-EPO unit - Hughes Autoformers

I'm selling both for $215 which includes free shipping.

Its raining all day today and I am proud to say we have no water leaks inside or in the bays other than the normal water when you open the doors. While check I noticed a lot of cold air coming from the front of the coach not only windows but under the dash as you can see on this flir picture the darker the area is the coldest, this area is right above the six packs on the floor and front cap. Has anyone had a fix for this?

We developed an air leak in the upfront compartment. I removed the panel located in front of the brake pedal, sounds like it is coming from this area. I can't locate the source amongst all the lines. Depressing the brake seems to make it slow down a little. Any suggestions where to look? We are traveling down the coast of Oregon to Napa, CA, currently at an awesome park in Winchester Bay. Don't know where we would go to get it evaluated.

So like many others I am working on some merge solenoid issues. My chassis batteries have been draining and I need to track down what is dragging them down. After some reading on here I have some things to check including the cables and the fuse on the negative cable. I ended up not able to charge up the chassis battery with the merge solenoid. I did some testing and confirmed the solenoid was no longer passing current as it should. I replaced it but am not very happy with this design, and I may be replacing things with a permanent charger on the chassis battery and the merge solenoid will only be used as a backup. I am not sure but I do not think it’s a good idea that the merge solenoid be used during starting the engine, that could put too much current through that 85 amp rated solenoid. Perhaps 2 of them in parallel or a much larger solenoid would be better. 
Well I do have a question, while I was troubleshooting I created a problem. I was using my power probe to put power to the solenoid to activate it, well I accidentally hit the button on the power probe that goes to ground and I must have popped a fuse. I believe it’s on the house side but not sure. Where would I find the fuse that feeds this? I checked all the fuses next to my AC panel in the walk-in closet, and I checked all the fuses near the inverter in the bay. Where else would I find fuses to check? The battery merge does work when I push the switch to the up position, not sure which system that is connecting to. Appreciate any help. 
I will try to do a write up if I end up installing the battery charger on my chassis batteries.

Entry door will not open. There is no air in the lines, so I cannot release the air to open the door. The door seems to be sealed shut by the pressure inside the coach. Started the compressor from outside thinking it would build some air up in the lines, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? It's a 2008 Newell #1230.

Thank you

This is a guide for truck owners that I believe is relevant to us motorhome owners. This was written in 2012 by a truck owner-operator that has a Cummins ISX, but his website, rawze.com, also contains information about Detroits and CATs. Much of the information on his site requires that you own a device to program the engine ECM, the rest is just common sense.

My steering pump had been leaking over the years where the pump meets the engine at the rear. After our last trip, it left a mess of oil trails down the side of the transmission. Today I got around to pulling the pump, cleaning the mating areas and installing a new gasket. I also put in new grade 8 hardware.  I have a bit of cleaning to do still to make that area look good again. While at it, I removed the exhaust manifolds since they both had ruptured gaskets from corrosion. New gaskets arrived but I sent out the manifolds and pipes to a shop to have ceramic heat abating coating put on. New manifold studs are on order and I had to drain coolant since some of the studs entered the coolant galley in the head. My pit is a mess. Thankful I epoxy coated it for easier cleanup.  The dash air never worked from 2004 as documented so I removed the obsolete R12 compressor. Not sure if I am going to cut and pull the rubber lines (Past report findings suggested a leak from hoses that could never be found) My plans are to install one of those standalone electric a/c compressors that Mercedes and other EV carmakers use. I am sure prices of those will be at normal paces. If anyone wants the compressor it's yours free. Tomorrow I will work on removing the right side manifold studs. One skinned knuckle is enough for a day. Of course engine detail and paint will follow once I get to a certain point. I had stopped by Leo's shop but it seems he is very busy these days. I also feel he is in a more "Retirement" mode so I figured this engine will be all on me from now on. We will be losing a great mind soon. I do not know of anyone in Phoenix willing to work on this engine. Quite frankly, it makes me nervous. On the cylinder head, there are yellow markings that look like an alien wrote them. If anyone has any idea what they mean let me know.

And finally, Marie and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
