Really hate those times. I call them #VI moments. VI roman for 6 or abbreviation for Village Idiot.

I did not read this whole post. Experimenting with mine I found that separating the exhaust from the warmed cooling air raised the temperature of the generator. I do not recall how much as it was some time ago, but enough to cause concern and I scrapped the idea. Does not make any sense but that is what happened. I have about 40 pictures of the temp gauge when experimenting but no idea which is which??

I have seen auxillary gas tanks for generators on some RV's, not common. Holiday Rambler and I think Lesharo are 2.

Here is one made of wood! There is no link and Photo Bucket has ruined the pictures. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNtvEg0a8PqycKSEw0m5gS62qOH7Lr28aCPYRUY1E-5KTHHiYHm_zAhZz7_xbYciQ/photo/AF1QipMFjuJnlNf-3Uyys6grNIMCp-Nz4HTZQQWdsbhP?key=YTZrWHhLU0VrOWFnakV4el9jMXJodi1ISVItaGFR

4 years on the forum and have never seen anyone check the valves on a V6 Toyota RV that did not need adjusting! The RV unlike a pickup running around empty most of the time is carrying 6000 + pounds and burning through lots of gas when ever it is moving. Have seen quite a few heads redone because the valves were burnt. So do the PM or run them till they burn??

No nothing about a 4 cyl. The service manual for my 93 says to replace the 02 sensor at 80k and the dealer will do it for free! When my mpg dropped noticeably I could find nothing wrong! When I tested the 02 sensor it passed but I noticed it was very slow to react compared to the videos I was watching, referred to lazy 02 sensor. I detest throwing parts at a problem but had nothing to loose I threw some parts at it, 02 sensor, fan clutch and thermostat. Should have done 1 at a time and tested, but mpg is back up now.

Disclaimer NOT A MECHANIC. After hours on the net with some really good toy people and not able to fix a no start situation and being told numerous times it was not the ECU. Out of desperation I sent the ECU in for testing. A week and $170 later, installed fixed ECU and fired right up. Fortunately mine died in it's parking spot next to the house. Rebuilt ECU are $$$$$$ should be able to find a place online that will test yours for you. I did mine 4 years ago and no longer have info. I was told that faults in the system can damage ECU, I do not know that to be a fact, so tread carefully.

Back in the day, the mechanic Frank would siphon gas out of the tank, clean the area up and with one of those old brass torch/s heat up a soldering iron and solder the tank! I would wait outside around the corner.

Tire Pressure Monitor
jjrbus replied to Iflyfish's topic in Improvement and Do-It-Yourself Projects you have done to Share!
My concern was the rear duallys, I should notice a front blowout. Between the car and RV I have been through a couple systems, the cheap ones last a couple years. The wifes car will display low tire but not how low or which tire, so a TPMS shows her what is up! At the moment I have a Rocboc in the RV, pressures are not up to NASA standards but have tested it numerous times and never fails to report a rapid deflation. There seem to be a bunch for sale with this design and I assume they are all the same with different names. The other system is a Carchet which I believe is a superior product, also has replacement sensors available. When I need a new system I will be looking for the Carchet. The system on the RV did notify me of a tire going flat during a trip, so owes me nothing! With the cheap systems I will only use the external sensors. http://carchet.easyofficial.com/carchet-tpms-tire-pressure-monitoring-intelligent-system-4-external-sensors-with-lcd-sucker-p4.html https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QYS2J5R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -
Priority tire is the current good selection winner. I know my tires will rot away in the driveway instead of wearing out so want an inexpensive tire. Remember we are in a world market, because a tire is not heavily advertised in the US does not automatically make it an inferior tire or cheap junk. I have had GoForms on my Toy for 4 years and 25,000 miles with no issues and they still look good! https://www.prioritytire.com/by-size/185r14-tires/?fbclid=IwAR2OrIsL21ayTxeXDBr0hoIYGp5tjk0uPkf3P1rckEOr9wYRiKdEqzZGl3c
