    Tranny acting up in 99 3500

    After coming down a long hill in high gear when I step on throttle the tranny doesn't engage. The engine just revs up, like it's in neutral. I have to drop it into 2nd and then it engages and I can shift back into drive and it's good again. This doesn't happen on every hill but it did happen a...

    Oil leak

    This is on a diesel pusher. No pulleys. Looks like all hydraulics. Rad is mounted on side of coach, fan mounted on frame rail, I think. All fittings are tight and dry. Leak is coming from from up in fan around the shaft. It's not pouring out but it's a substantial leak. I'll see if I can snap a...

    Sayin' Hi'

    Pretty hard to argue that kind of logic, my wife might even agree! Doing it in increments, are there steps I could do without having to do the bigger $$ items? Where's a good place to start? Thanks miles, Bob

    Sayin' Hi'

    Well you sure gave me what I asked for! It's good to know it's do-able for a reasonable amount of $$ and labour if it turns out to be necessary. I will keep this info. Thanks, Bob

    Sayin' Hi'

    Hi All, Wife and I just traded our Chevy truck and trailer across for an 89 Monaco motor home. With this set-up I figure I can install an hydraulic tailgate and bring my GoldWing Trike along with us. Anyhow: Motor coach is a Diesel Pusher powered by a 5.9l Cummins, 6BTA5.9 There is no HP...
