How does SH respond to your problems ? I was kind of thinking I should have went to SH instead of the route I took! but you dont sound any happier then I am with my new unit , Although my interior is awsome, the underside of my unit is what erks me ! PS. I did not get a slide cause my...

I would prefer an Amermac 405 but would consider any unit tony 8456263412 fastlap@hvc.rr.com

Maybe you all know this already but if you are like me then you will be so happy to learn this! On a tractor (most not all ) your brakes will act funny while bobtailing ! symtoms are initaial braking ok then too much pressure required on pedal then bang way too much brake and coffey...

My truck is now perfectly level side to side and front to rear! My handeling is 100% better (it wasnt bad before!) I dont need a sway bar anymore! I now know the secret to leveling air suspension (it has little to nota to do with the air bags!) or z springs All it took was a trip to...

well When I disassembled the check valve that is in the fuel return , I found a sliver of aluminum caught in the seat ! I would bet that it is from when they drilled the top of my fuel tank to plumb the generator in ( I had already welded 2 bungs in for them to use for the generator when I...

I have just noticed that my new conversion has a plastic cover over the trim fastners ( guess I was too caught up in the rest of the issues to notice earlier) what brought this to my attention is the rust bleeding that is starting to appear form water being trapped under the plastic cover ...

Does anyone know of a source for sway bars for a class 8 conversion ? I can make one but would rather purchase ! thanks t

A single axel air tag can be rated as high as half a tandem dual set up ( when using super singles ) they are very good for high cg applications and in a coach the lack of all that gear noise and vibration is a nice plus ! as far as having extra traction with tandem drivers??? maybe, but...

I am considering a single wheel air tag on my next conversion they ride much more quiet then tandem drivers but still give many of the same benefits without the danger in slippery conditions !

Truck is a factory single axel and it has not been streched or modified for the conversion , it was always like this but I did not mind running low ride ht till the conversion was put on now it looks funny that way and I need more clearance !

It seems that whin I raise my ride heights (just a little 1.5" ) my brakes do not function properly ! at initial pedal their fine but then I have to push much harder than normal and then all of a sudden their on almost fully bang like a toggle switch ! can anyone shed light on this , I...

There are many autos in this area in class 7s & 8s and school buses ! My next(heavy)class 8 roll back will probably be an auto! and I am building a pu truck out of a baby pete and that will be auto also! Not my conversion though we travel too far with that and I am gun shy from my last...

a big factor here is how much power do you have to work with ? with something like a 3126b cat your foot is always to the floor so you might as well have an auto trans ! Reliabilty?= manual trans ease of operation and confort = auto trans fun (till you are in rubber neck traffic) manual...

A go kart race , my son is 3 years old ( hes the driver ) he gets a trophy its commerce in the eyes of DOT ! I wonder what would happen if we were driving to play bingo??? what if you driving somewhere to give (loose money) is that not commerce also ? T

what is needed is a book of laws issued by dot that covers RVs! something simple that a stupid person like me can comprehend ! I stopped to talk to a Dot inspecter yesterday (at a check point) just to go over some of the things pretaining to conversion rvs He told me that their are all...

I skipped all that stuff cause we just had the tanks out 4 months ago (I had to shorten them for the conversion) and at that time we went trough everything up to the pump ! I didnt do the return lines though and I didnt know about the check valve either! thanks T

Update ,> the fuel check valve in the return T is intermitent & fails 7 out of 10 times on the bench! This can cause the problem ! I also replaced the fuel pump (the drive coupler was broken and in many pieces ) the fuel pressure was under spec a little ! thanks for the input T

big argument at truck stop Dot says we race for prize I say we no take prize even if we win Dot sez they give prize and we wrong even if we no accept prize I say driver does not travel with us in conversion He traveles seperate and takes prize seperate I am there merely for...

If I turn the key counterclockwise then the check engine light will flash in a t code fashion but I need the list to look up the #s? I also found that the only check valve for the whole fuel system is in the return from the back of the head ? this could be the problem DDA said there was...
