    There is a check valve on the outlet side of the dryer, pt# R950017, that protects the air tanks.

    Here a link to a post I made a couple of yrs ago here on PC about the Wabco Super Saver Dryer. It has some good info and links.

    It’s worth it to drive – even FAR – to a known good shop. The damage they can do at crappy shops just ain’t worth it.

    If I am seeing correctly, only 3 are blown (lit). I have never heard of this kind of fuse but I absolutely have to get some of these. They look to be completely awesome!

    The 2002 had an EPROM memory. The tech said most of those would never need a back up battery even though there was a dead one present.

    When I asked the appropriate motorhome specialist what was wrong based on my symptoms ( no control of the house switches), could not utilize shore power or generator. My choices were drive it or let the house batteries slowly die or of course fix it. The only true choice was to fix it so the tech drove the 2 hrs. from Portland to Pacific Shores and fixed it only to have it fail a second time a few hrs later. He came back the second day and discovered when bank #5 was out it did not fail and it continued on the return to Oklahoma. Nothing operated by bank 5 works but it was not a major issue compared to alternatives.

    The point, I think, is that there was probably nothing wrong with the Allen Bradley. There is probably something that bay 5 controls that has failed ( a relay). When the AB cpu sees the failure the whole system shuts down. Here is what is controlled by #5:

    So On the advice of the tech,I will reactivate the wires one at a time in #5 until I get a failure on the CPU. At least that is the plan. The hard part is most motorhome people don’t really know much on the Allen -B yet it is an integral critical part of the system on some coaches. The AB tech knows the system but not much about how it is utilized on a motorhome. I think Jeff at East Tennessee would be the guy to call if this happened again. He and my new expensive friend from Portland together can hopefully fix this.

    my guess on the picture above it would be behind one of the two left hand boxes.

    Craig, Yes the kit will fit your 60 series, but you’ll also have to change your oil filler cover. When I changed ours, I found a used one on ebay, DDC pt# 23523134, for $60. Here’s a link for one for $100.

    I believe the Nachi bearing # 30BGS1DS3 has dimensions of 30mm x 62mm x 27mm. Call any bearing company and give them this info and they can probably fix you up.

    Our engine use to look like yours. Here’s a pic of it now.

    Wouldn’t the box be on the chassis and if so why not just turn off chassis power with the master switch?

    I clicked the link – answered “used” on the first question and the next page said “Thank you for completing the survey.” And that was it…. is this for new purchasers only? Or did something go wrong? Used my iPhone.

    October 20, 2018 at 12:34 pm in reply to: Don’t exceed length restrictions!

    Will, do you think the truck driver made a bad decision, and then followed it up with a second bad decision. Entering the limited length road was his first screw up, but then the moron kept going instead of stopping, realizing he was screwed and calling for help so he could back out or get a wrecker to help him get out of the situation.

    Seeing the video it makes me wonder how with his 70 foot length he did not understand the much lower limit was far beyond his ability.
