  1. Was looking for something else and came across this. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10145756-9999.pdf
  2. Really hate those times. I call them #VI moments. VI roman for 6 or abbreviation for Village Idiot.
  3. Darn your right! second time in this century I have been wrong. I had to push the pump away from the block to get the new belt on! Went through a few belts. Now have a NAPA Premium XL 25-9480 that fit. Not a lot of adjustment there, almost like the pump pulley is the wrong size!
  4. 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??
  5. I have seen auxillary gas tanks for generators on some RV's, not common. Holiday Rambler and I think Lesharo are 2.
  6. This rings a bell, someone, not me was having an issue with the V6 PS pump belt. I would never miss something that simple! One of those you gotta be kidding me moments and hope no one was looking. Try moving the pump away from the block, I think that was it??
  7. 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
  8. Honda also says must be no closer than X amount of feet from wall. Here is the quiet box Honda sells in Asia for the 2200 equivilent, not available in US.
  9. I need to remember tho check the spare when I get going, I only have a few inchs clearance.
  10. I am sure the exhaust came from National like that. You can cut a circle piece of cardboard and see it it will fit there with the exhaust pipe moved to the driver side exit. I might have been able to but some things were just too close.
  11. 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??
  12. I have a 94 Sea Breeze and needed to get the spare off the rear. It was easier to cobble a spare tire carrier together than move things to utilize the original spare location.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. The aftermarket lug nuts I put on have a poor finish, started rusting quickly. Have yours started to rust?? Tried the nuts that take a special tool to remove first, destroyed them trying to torque to 170
  17. 94 Sea Breeze, I put the dorman 610-339 in a few years ago and still have a couple new and old ones, I see no noticeable difference?
  18. The only pressure switch I know of on my V6 is attached to the evaporator. The evaporator must be removed to replace it, so the system must be evacuated! Fun job! I am sure there is a way to test the switch without removing it, but cannot think of it at the moment.
  19. 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
  20. 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
