I ordered a couple of cable type pull drains to try, I was tempted to just install 1/4 brass ball valves??

Yep, that’s the one.

After replacing them it did start easily, but I still had that battery monitor relay turning on/off rapidly. I pulled that relay for now. I am home now. Wish I replaced these sooner, myself, as it would have cost half.

Dana, when your house has bounced up and down the road for 10 years do you expect the fittings to remain leak free?

I have had it happen on our bus maybe 3 times on long steep mountain descents. If I pumped the brakes a few times and took some load off the engine it would go away. My research indicated that it was due to high heat but that was from reading forums rather than a code.

How are your Fuel Filters?

Installed new banded cogged vbelt, BX97/02, to drive the OTR compressor. It replaces 2 individual v belts.
The other banded cogged v belt, AX74/03, that drives the 90* gearbox has been in place for 8k miles. It replaces 3 individual v belts.
Both from the vbeltguys.com
Your results may vary?
Interesting belts. Please explain the advantages of these? What are the drawbacks? Could they be more destructive to surroundings IF they do break? I am genuinely curious.

We got 8 yrs from our last set of chassis batteries (4). We keep a cheap $5 Harbor Freight 12v trickle charger on them via the Vanner 12v and 24v post.

Thanks, Dick. Merry Christmas.

Thank you for the info Paul it is very helpful to me. Just wishful thinking on my part. I wonder why they don’t plumb in shut-off valves into these lines? It would sure make it a lot easier come repair time.

Marshall definitely makes a difference from state to state.

In 2018, our Martin Diesel generator (with Yanmar engine at 5000 hours) began throwing oil out of the main seal at the power head. The folks at Martin were contacted, quickly diagnosed the failed seal and explained that the seal and main bearing frequently age out at about 5000 hours+/-. They were able to rearrange things to schedule us asap and we made the trip to Defiance, OH. They pulled the gen set, cleaned it, installed new main bearings and seals, replaced fuel lines, filter assembly, and some other parts. While the gen was out they extensively flushed the radiator, installed new coolant lines/hoses, all new compartment sound deadening foam, etc. They load tested the generator on the bench and again after install. The bill was $2700, which we thought was very reasonable. Our tech showed me the failed seal and worn bearing. He said they do the seal and bearing R and R often at the 5000 hr mark and won’t see us again for another 5000 hours. I highly recommend them.
