    Hi, just bought the same rv 2003 monaco. the shop just change my trans oil by dextron atf fluid dex-merc is it good or wrong ? and the put shell spirax s4 ax gear oil in my diffenrentiel

    • @zmotorsports62
      @zmotorsports62 35 นาทีที่ผ่านมา

      Congrats on the coach. I can't say about the Shell Spirax as I am not familiar with that fluid. I would look at the manual for your particular coach as Monaco did use Dexron III in some models. However, starting around 2001/2002 model years, generally in the Dynasty and up they put Transynd fluid in the transmission. Transynd is manufactured by Castrol but more importantly is the oil's classification. Anything TES-295 or equivalent will meet Allison's recommendations. There is now a new Allison classification of TES-668 that will also work as it is reverse engineered to be compatible with TES-295. Hope that is helpful and thank you for taking the time to watch.

    26mm roll pin was too long and would bind on the gear. My pin was spiral and fit tight so i reused it. The new quad rings made the plunger really stiff to move in and out hopefully that is normal.

    • @zmotorsports62
      @zmotorsports62 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You have to trim the roll pin down to the same length as the original or it can interfere. Yes, the quad rings will add some resistance, depending on how badly the original ones were. I've rebuilt multiple of these since and use the exact parts I listed without any issues. The roll pins and quad rings are not available through OEM so have to be sourced elsewhere but they work.

    If you have a stick shift, it is possible to change without removing the fender guards- just reach in the engine bay. Just need to pull off the last spark plug lead. Rocking to loosen the last bolt helped. It is possible using a stubby 10mm ratcheting to take off/tighten the lower bolts. You're doing it blind but it saves a lot of time. Being in Australia it is RHD- not sure if it makes a difference [ie. easier]. 2008 JK Unlimited. Made the mistake of a non-Mopar first time around - threw off a range of bizarre codes.

      Not necessarily. You can press them in with a simple vise. Worst case you can drive them in with a drift and hammer but I don't recommend hammering in new bearing to install them as you can actually damage them. If you do drive them into the bore be sure to only hit the outside race.

    Hey Mike, Watched your video in greater detail today. I would like to see what / how you redid the vent/return line. I had a suspicion that was going to come back to bite. I am ordering my FASS pump today or tomorrow. I put on on my 2006 Duramax. Worked well. I have already replaced the lift pump on my 99 Monaco Windsor because it was leaking. I too don't like sucking fuel to a "pump".. isn't pump the definition of push? I see you made mention of your picts on IRV2 and Monacoars of which I am a member, but I am not sure how to find your info. Again, thanks for your time and details. I probably won't be quite as elaborate in my bracket mounting, but rest assured it will be solid. If I have to go to your lengths, I most definitely will. On another subject, and I know think you are familiar. I want to make a bracket to be able to adjust my steering stabilizer while driving. Seems like something simple enough, and useful. I thought I saw where you have chatted with another member regarding that? I am going to check out your video on flat towing your jeep.

If you search under that and FASS you should find the pictures as I did follow up on both showing the revised fuel tank vent that I fabricated. As far as steering stabilizer, I didn't waste my time with that and just fabricated a Watts link for the front. I also have a couple videos on that modification. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

      @@zmotorsports62 Thanks for getting back so quickly. Good morning Mike, I guess I am always looking for that elusive "how can I make it better?" I did watch your videos on the Watts linkage install also. And then proceeded to install the front Watts linkage and rear crossmembers from Mike Hughes @ MonacoWatts. I also installed the Safe T Plus. I was a truck driver for 25 yrs and have become accustomed to how I want my rig to steer down the road. The addition of an adjustable on the fly mechanism on the Safe T Plus seems like it might be a way of reducing driver fatigue. I still get pushed around a bit by passing trucks, wind, and the slope of the highway. Just looking to see if I can add this to my tool box. I was also wondering how much more benefit, in steering, you are getting because of the tag axle? I realize that must have some effect on the stabilization. On another note. The previous owner had a PacBrake exhaust brake installed. He also add a Banks Ottomind programmer, which also incorporates EGT and boost gauge. It was obviously NOT installed by Banks. The sensor for the EGT is supposed to be mounted in the rear exhaust port, it is currently located 8" behind the turbo. One of the "things" I do is "look over" my coach to check for visually occuring issues. I also noticed that the air actuator for the PacBrake is vertical and not horizontal. Anyway, I digress, where I am really going is since I have to pull the turbo to drill the hole in the exhaust manifold for the EGT sensor, and I am going to replace the PacBrake, just as the old one is say 25yrs old. Is this the time to also rebuild the turbo? Perhaps add some better parts that are available today? billet compressor wheel, turbo shaft, machined bearing housing? Thoughts? Not trying to increase power, just don't want to break down somewhere. Headed off to check out your other picts on IRV2 and Monacoers 1999 Monaco Windsor 38' 106K 8.3L ISC. Also adding Birdseye Camera system. Really like to remodel my dash with easier to see gauges and rearrangement. Not all gauges are driver friendly. Thanks for any advice that you share.

      @jefreyjohnson4294 yes, the tag axle definitely aids in keeping the coach going straight down the road. Years ago when I was reading many of the issues people were having with their 8-bag Roadmasters wandering issues I kept asking myself why I wasn't experiencing any of that and figured it must be due to the tag axle. I had replaced all of my bushings with the Atro bushings with very little, if any, effect. But again, I wasn't really having any issues. It was more curiosity than anything, I fabricated and installed the Watts link on our coach and noticed a slight improvement, but mainly only on those long constant radius curves where I didn't have to continue to add input to the wheel. As for driver fatigue, I really don't experience that much and it has you be a hell of a wind or gust to push us around. Many times I have to look closely at the trees or grass along the road to tell if the wind is blowing. We just returned last week from South Dakota and we drive the whole 650-miles home in one day without any issues of fatigue. Stopped once for fuel and once to fix a sandwich and stretch our legs, other than that drove the 11-hours home pretty comfortable. Makes me want a newer coach less and less these days as I have ours pretty dialed in.

    Hey Mike, great video.... i have an 04 Monaco dynasty ISL as well. I ordered my Fass system this morning. Was the 1/2" NPT T for the fuel tank return Stainless or Aluminum? Not sure what the tank is made of or if it matters. Im going to install it exactly as you did. Im looking forward to the challenge. Thanks again

    • @zmotorsports62
      @zmotorsports62 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The fitting I used was stainless steel into the aluminum fuel tank. I also must mention that I redid my return line this year. For the first couple of years and ~10k miles I had zero issues. However, early this year I had some fuel discharge out of the combined return/rollover vent line during a trip through AZ this spring, so I separated the return line and vent valve and just ran the -10 return line to the street side factory bung in the aluminum fuel tank. I then fabricated a flange style of fitting and installed it on the curb side which I used for the vent valve. No more issues after separating and having the return line in its own bung and not shared. I have pictures of how I redid mine over on my coach's thread on irv2.com as well as on monacoers.org forum if you would like to see pictures. Best of luck on the install, you won't regret it. Although, with your common rail fuel system it is less problematic as the CAPS system.

    Hi Mike. I just found your channel after Scanner Danner recommended it in one of his videos. He mentioned you do some motorhome videos as well as many other things. After listening to you go over this chassis and hearing all the work and upgrades you've made, I'm really impressed at how much knowledge you have on EVERY part. I would like to pick your brain because I recently had a little accident while doing maintenance on my new to me 2011 Tiffin Allegro Breeze 32BR with a Maxxforce 7. I lost a tiny plastic clip(1/4" x 1/4") down the oil fill tube. I have removed the tube and extension neck so I could attempt to retrieve it from the top of the engine. I connected a vacuum to a small diameter tube and try to see if I could suck it up. I can't see it and don't know where it may have travelled and I surely don't know the routing from when the oil goes in, passes through the filter, and all the other orifices in there. Since this is such a tiny piece of cheap plastic, do you think it's something to worry about or will it be pulverised or melt?

    • @zmotorsports62
      @zmotorsports62 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the kind words. With the clip being plastic you are probably correct that it will be pulverized and/or melt but it could still get lodged in an oil pickup tube or oil galley and therefore could be directly responsible for a catastrophic failure so I would not be inclined to recommend running it until the clip is retrieved. Ultimately that would have to be your call. Keep in mind that if or when it fails, Murphy's law states it will be at the most inopportune time and if you are like me, it will be a constant worry and always on your mind. Best of luck. Mike

    Really no sense in buying an older coach unless you really I mean really know all and how the services were done. I really doubt most people are as thorough as you. I mean like the coolant I bet most mechanics don’t know about the additives to use so if it hasn’t been done for 15 20 years that motor is probably about shot. Was considering moving in to an older beaver or something along those lines but maybe not worth the headache. Cheaper to stay in hotels.

    • @zmotorsports62
      @zmotorsports62 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      True, but we'll never travel via hotels. For us RV'ing is a lifestyle, not about cheapest way to travel. There are much cheaper ways to travel, but it's about the journey, not the destination. If looking at any coach regardless of year, I highly recommend insisting on maintenance records. If someone selling has all of the maintenance documentation I suggest not lowballing them and pay them for their well maintained stewardship over the rig. If someone chooses not to keep records, then I don't feel their coach should bring the same money as someone who did. But that's just my opinion. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Mike
