Its not the dryer, I can see the dryer, but I don’t know from where yet.

I seem to have recently developed that same issue on my 89 Marathon on my trip to NC as well. When I noticed it, my left rear was leaning too low. I pulled over and it was spitting air every 4 or 5 seconds behind the tires / drive axle. I put the selector in level low on the side and raised it up, but when I went back to normal, the bus leaned back down on that side. So I raised it back up in level low again and managed to drive it the rest of the way to NC with it continuing to expel the air every few seconds. I have yet to be able to get under it to find out exactly where the air is spitting from.

Hmm, I will call a local glass place tomorrow.. And yes, it has the cord in the center of the gasket.

Thank you

[Richard]

Thankk you, I will contact them on Monday

[Richard]

OK will do

[Richard]

My reply came back to me for some reason.

The gauge is maxed out going down the road, and the batteries are venting acid.

[Richard]

Thanks Mike.

So if there are systems live, even though all switches are off or idle, the batteries are being used? Therefore, if the bus is stored for a month or so, I need power connected?

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

OK, I will get it up on ramps, check all of my connections, and test the ride height valve. I haven’t gotten under it much until lately due to the warnings and it is so close to the ground. Even with backups to supports, I am still uncomfortable. I will purchase some 2×12’s and make some ramps.

Thank you

Richard

I don’t mind the fridge part, and I have strong bodies, I just don’t know the windshield side of it.

Is there anything I need to be aware of on that part? I can’t leave it open once the removal and change out is started.

[Richard]

Well, I made it to my destination without my alternator connected. I ran during the days, then charged my batteries overnight maintaining proper voltage. I plan on removing my alternator and having it tested / fixed.

Thanks for the info

[Richard]

I measured the voltage with the bus off, it is 27. I measured the voltage on high idle; it is 40.

I have a pos, neg, and field connection on my regulator, I take it that I can safely remove the field wire, and if it stops overcharging, I can connect a battery charger to the start batteries to recharge them by using my generator? Do I have to do that constantly, or can I do that in intervals along the way?

[Richard]

When you did the replacement, what o-rings did you change out on the CruiseAir? I am just trying to get a heads up on where to access. I know the schrader valves need to be replaced, but do I need to take other lines apart elsewhere?

Thank you

Richard

Thank you Bill

Oh ok, thank you

Alex,

Bearing play is good. Tires are almost brand new and have no noticable wear.

Thank you
