So all the relays you see on top are factory in the original system. I did not change any of those, other than how they are controlled. The relays act as a sort of transfer switch system and a inverter transfer switch all in one. The inverter was also built into this system, so all I really did was replace the inverter/charger that was inside with a new inverter/charger. I posted more about this on the IRV2 American Coach forum: www.irv2.com/forums/f107/heart-source-manager-20-replacement-470989-8.html#post6559045

Excellent, hope it helped.

As far as I know I only found the two toward the rear. Expected to have two up front but they were not there.

I jacked up one side at a time.

There is a special tool for the job but you can use a 1/4” drill bit or any 1/4” round stock for the pin.

That’s what I believe, from the tractor serial number.

There are a couple different tools that can be used for this. This is a possible option, but cannot say for sure it will work but it’s not too expensive: a.co/d/9jVef4e You may need to get bolts but they are standard 1/4”x20tpi bolts that you can get from any hardware store. I would recommend grade 5 or better. This is the tool that I have: www.apexinds.com/tools/M10070.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwgdayBhBQEiwAXhMxtkzytxrjqQRx8xHBU_vEnn2DxPZEqf7DMdpuQ7TeMiUYuE21a0K7cBoCJFUQAvD_BwE

Says the guy who has stripped and damaged these fittings before 🤣.

I purchase my oil through a buddy of mine. I believe he gets it from Detroit Diesel here in Tampa.

Right on ive been looking and found you can use delo 100, i know Detroit diesel is down on adamo

@@nicklietz4743 Yes Delo 100 works just fine. Usually O’Reilly’s can order it.

@@GinosGarageUSA i was wondering do you have any videos or how to's on removing leveling jacks?

There should be very little pressure in the fuel system, it’s not a high pressure system. The fuel pump is not easy to get to, you just have to squeeze in there to get to it. The one bolt is always challenging, usually a wrench and some patience is the only way.

If you’re getting black smoke that means too much fuel and not enough air. Do you have a turbo? If it starts acting up after some time driving, then it might be the turbo. Need to inspect it and make sure that it spins freely and that it’s not moving around enough to make contact with the housing.

@@GinosGarageUSA The Turbo was ruled out 4months ago. It spins like free bird. Apparently the mechanics that looked at my Fire Truck only beleave a fuel pump is mounted on outside of a engine. One even said ( I know this engine and worked on them many times). Well a peace of dust or drop of oil stain or a bolt had been turned at the fuel pump. His anwser was it was the transmission. Its my turn. Thanks to you I have purchased and overnight shipped a new fuel pump from a company DIESEL PRO POWER. This is a mission to show those guys need a refresher course. Thank You for your answers. Are you sure you wouldn't want to do a episode on how to replace a Detroit Diesel Engine fuel pump.

Thank You for your perfect anwser's. 2 Questions again. Does the Detroit Diesel Engine 6v92TA have a FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR and a FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR?

@@patrickguida3979 No problem. I am not aware of any fuel pressure or fuel temperature sensors. Is your engine an electronic engine or a mechanical engine? If it’s mechanical it does not have any engine computer at all. You will have sensors for dash gauges but that’s all.

Yea, they can get corroded. I would suspect it’s frozen itself together. I would gently tap on it to see if you can free up the corrosion. May also try a bit of gentle heat or maybe even try it after you have driven it so that it’s warm already from the drive.

@@GinosGarageUSA I ended up having to break that outer ring. I tried for literal hours and there's no other way it was going to come apart. I chiseled it in half and used a 36" crowbar to break it off. Even now half of the wiring harness is still stuck in the transmission connector, wedged in by lots of aluminum oxide. I can confirm that this connector is NOT delicate. I would recommend lubricating this connector with dielectric grease any time the transmission is serviced

@@GinosGarageUSA I can't drive the RV since the 8v92 is seized. I'm removing everything for a engine and transmission swap.

@@castirondude Well glad you got it off. Not sure on the availability of all that stuff now, I know it took a while just to find the locking nut I needed. Hope things go smoother now.

@@GinosGarageUSA I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do. The HT754 has been super reliable but the tall axle ratio + close ratio gearset + low bottom end torque of the 8V92 + super heavy RV made it tough to get started up hills especially at high elevation. I've been considering getting a wide ratio Allison 4500 with high stall speed converter. Theyre expensive though.

It’s an old crane pad that I cut up. Only thing I do not like about it is how heavy they are. I made ramps as well out of it.

@@GinosGarageUSA thanks for the info. Need to find some so can get a couple extra inches of clearance when suspension dumped

Found some in Riverview used for cheap.. picking up tomorrow

This is for my generator, and no it did not have any sort of shut off valve.

Yeah mine for the generator is leaking been looking for the shut off so I don't get a diesel bath! Poor engineering use to quality filter but too much work for them to install a simple 1/4 turn valve!

@@davidsimpson3744 I do not think the engineers were thinking about maintaining these things 30 plus years into their life span. I disconnect the line and put a silicone plug in the line, no big issue, little bit of fuel drips out.

It appears that the installation manual for the 1874TY is the same as the 1874, so I would think it would work.

I've been reading my book on it I think you make it look easier than it is but still well done

Yes, it definitely has more pull, but no its not a rocketship. I am really working the 6v92 hard pulling over 52k lbs down the road. I can pull the 6% grade at Monteagle doing 35-40mph which is a bit better than the 30-35mph before. If I was about 10k lighter I bet I would be doing 45-50mph up it.

@@GinosGarageUSAthanks for the reply. I have a new to me dump truck that was originally a 6v92tt. I had to rebuild the blower and replace turbo, added mini bypass plate and aftercooler, and just found today that one of the injectors (9290’s) was stuck and beat up the plunger. The rack on that injector was stuck in full fuel position and the plunger was stuck in the down position so not sure if this was constantly letting some amount of fuel by or not. Just trying to figure which direction to go 9g95’s or 9a98’s or bigger. I know when loaded I’ll be up around that weight and maybe a bit heavier but I don’t have grades like you speak of to navigate.

@@rfinn2506 A bypass blower is always good to have. I believe mine is an 80% bypass and I want to eventually change to the 100% bypass blower. A Detroit guru also told me about a smaller number of teeth on the blower drive helps as well. If the injector gets stuck down it will not fuel, it has to be pressed down to squirt the fuel, doubt you were getting any fuel from that injector. I would recommend a fuel additive like opti-lube to help with the lubrication of your injectors, low sulfur diesel is missing lubrication. Bigger injectors will only help to a point then you also need to get it more air with a turbo that moves more air, and the 100% bypass blower, otherwise the turbo will not do any good. The Detroit guy said also that if you really want more power you have to go to industrial injectors, they will be numbers only in the designation, any injector with a letter designation is for on road use and it limits the fuel to prevent excess smoking at take off.

More work to do on this, the control board is still a bit flaky and does not always start. I have a conversion to a Beckett control to make things more reliable. The aqua hot replacement board is close to $1000 bucks!

@@GinosGarageUSA That’s expensive!! I have a Beckett controller on my waste oil furnace in the shop and it works great. Keep us posted! Thanks Jeff!

Looks like a pretty straight forward repair….

@michaelressa7992 I wish that I had repaired it. Still not working correctly, the door is jamming on something. A deeper investigation is needed.

Hey there Rodney, just getting back to things as life is settling down. It could probably be more simple but then you would not have the cool Star Trek door effect… haha!

Watch part 2 of the video: th-cam.com/video/5ZB48ImTlag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G5SHc5dtZZFV-hfU

@@GinosGarageUSA Thank you, can you help me if I need your help in the future?

@alibayezit9395 Yes I will help if I can.

I will try to help out when I can. I am learning about it as well. I was able to find some old manuals online.

Correct, I am purposely running the ACEA C3, its only drawback is slightly increased fuel mileage. But due to this engine design I want as much lubrication as possible due to the weak design for the crankshaft.

Thanks, it was a good job. Unfortunately it had to be done twice but it happens!

No change to the head. The jakes are added to the existing head.

@@GinosGarageUSA thats awesome nice video

No they do not have an injection pump. They are multi unit injectors, the high pressure fuel is only in each injector. You have a low pressure fuel pump driven off the blower that supplies fuel to the injectors.

Reason why I have Exact engine. It runs text book normal. 2 1/2 miles then black smoke & speed from 40,50mph drops basic stall Changed air, fuel filters tank drained new fuel. You have idea to check?

@@patrickguida3979 I would replace the fuel lines going to the fuel pump on the engine. They can suck air and cause this very problem. What is this engine in?

@@GinosGarageUSA I have the feeling change the fuel lines and still brings me to changing injectors. Is there a brand you use? Its a 1965 fire truck. No chance you visit Colorado?

I would reach out to Area Diesel Service in Illinois, they can help you with injectors. Has it been sitting for a while?

No problem, glad it was helpful!

There are cables and other things connected to the cab so you cannot lift it too high unless you disconnect those things.

Thanks, yea well some folks do not know that working on these RVs is actually just a side gig for me, I work full time for an industrial electrical contractor and have been an electrician for over 20 years now. So this makes these electrical projects a little easier for me to do with my background.

I have been on the Bird project every day for the last two months trying to make a launch deadline. My wife is doing a lot of the interior work. She calls it Bluebird Boot camp! I'm more mechanical and paint, good at 12 bolt, 120 not so much:)

Thanks for watching! Another video coming with as Paul Harvey would say “The Rest Of The Story”!

I typically do it every oil change. And especially on this engine since it has a CP-4 pump on it.

@@GinosGarageUSA how bout a vid, brother? I'm three weeks into the ownership of my 2016 L405. 97k 1owner. Much to learn, I have already had to clean the suspension pump exhaust muffler and adjust the spoiler. I changed the engine air filter and cabin filter for good measure.
