    Did the oil leak repair new Detroit power steering gasket #23516100 and cleaned up all the mess it had been making, Looks much nicer

    I ended up using zip ties with the screw holes they worked thanks anyway

    After further investigation I can say now that the schematic is actually wrong and it is physically wired in such a way that makes more sense. The 12vdc feeder to the ECC is on the other side of the solenoid from the house battery and alternator – which is why it works correctly.

    My schematics are from 1998

    Bottom line is they are a MUST when using Lithium batteries. It’s more accurate way of measuring amps in and amps out on the batteries.

    One glitch, confimed by the engineers at Magnum was the charger measures the voltage at the charger, not at the BMK. I learned this because I was getting a different voltage at the batteries than at the charger. And when you are asking the charger to make decisions on 0.1 Volts for establishing full charge, then that’s a problem. That’s why I converted to stop charge on returned amps. I had a 1000 amp hr bank. I stopped the charge when the charger got down to 50 amps or O.5C.

    I am pretty sure we had this same conversation on IRV2.

    Huge advantage for the ME-ARC.. You can set up the CC/CV parameters and have four options for ending the charge time, voltage, SOC, and returned amps.

    I am a huge fan of using returned amps for ending the charge because it effectively solves the problem of drifting SOC.

    Voltage is poor way of ending the charge on Lithium setups.

    My Microphor uses no air or high pressure/volume water, only gravity. The toilet is located directly above the black tank and everything, including screwdrivers, dropped in that opening goes directly into the tank.

    original Meritor pt# = 3218-Y-1065

    minimum thickness is 1.63″

    Prevost also has them but I don’t have their part #.

    BGM has a good video on these brakes:

    Just bought some new glass suction cups for holding the glass, the 8 year old ones are not holding very good so bought some new ones Amazon 23 bucks hold way better and stronger. If you look hard you can see a large crack.

    What is the fiber drive coupler? At pump almost looks like a small O-Ring goes there and gasket, some one used a small amount of blue silicone look at picture

    Hey Mike Is there a gasket that it could leak from where it bolts to Detroit? Look at picture, How could you see where yours was leaking from??
