Not sure DKO, I know my 12v is the same OEM number as you show.

One blower won’t turn off and one won’t turn on. Can you post a photo? Did you find the solenoid to stop the condenser fan motor? The evaporator fan motor solenoid was likely near it.

Greg,
When we bought our bus in 1998, I was new to the 8V diesel. So I started off by asking everyone (truckers) I could about diesel engine use and service. Mose people would say about oil, Rotella is the preferred oil in diesels. So after hearing this from quite a few guys, I ordered a 55 gallon barrel of Rotella T 15-40. I changed my oil and filter as usual and then set off for Florida in 2002. I had been using Mobil Delvac 40 weight so I wasn’t antisipating anything to change, wrong. My 8V started thowing the new oil out of it system after a 1000 miles. By the time we left the keys and headed back to Nebraska, I was adding a couple of gallons of oil evey fuel stop.
When we got home, I orderd a 55 of Mobil Delvac straight 40 and have been using it every since. It was under the numbers of 1240 and 1640 and back to 1240.
Just to keep it simple, THE 8V NEEDS A STRAIGHT 40 WEIGHT OIL.

If Jon would give me a drawing i would make some stands and sell at what they cost to make. My neighbor is a great welder he did most of the welding at wet and wild in Orlando.

Are you talking about useable fuel they will hold 208 gals but you can use only around 190 gals before they stop some a little more and some a little less mine will stop at 188 gals used and gauge shows fuel btdt
good luck

Just in case anyone is interested. I saw a nice Liberty coach at Tom Johnson Camping Center in Marion, NC while I was there for a Bluegrass Festival. It is a 1990 XL with 104,000 miles and the salesman threw out $90,000 without ever leaving his golf cart. I am sure it could be bought cheaper.

Based on age I suspect Jim has a DDEC II.

At various times someone asks; What should I carry in my spare parts? well here is a prime example.
The mini air bag. ONE SET for insurance.
Regardless of if you just replaced yours last week. Look in the engine compartment and notice. If your air bags leak, your belts will be loose (all of them) except for the alternator.
YOU WILL BE DEAD IN THE WATER.
If your belts are getting loose after a shut down even a lunch stop at a roadside rest get in the habit of opening the doors and making a visual for: all belts in place, until you fix the problem and then look in there often anyway.

Jon,
Do you have a link for pre-2000 coaches?

Tom,
Your making good progress, keep at it. Aux leaks are frustrating and seem to be never ending. The only guy I know without an aux leak is Hector and by the time he reads this, he may have a new one. Hope not….
