I have a 1986 Jayco motorhome on an E350 van chassis, powered by a 7.3 idi turbo diesel (original 6.9 was replaced a few years ago). The stock vacuum-booster brakes are marginal, especially when towing a Jeep. Has anyone replaced the vacuum booster on the E350 van with a hydroboost unit? Is...
Well, here's my story...last spring the 6.9 in my motorhome developed a cracked cylinder wall. Rather than put in a new or rebuilt engine I decided to buy a used 7.3 and install it in place of the 6.9. I also installed a rebuilt fuel pump that was turned up to match the ATS turbo that was...
My motorhome is running now, thanks to a set of injectors from Russ (thanks Russ!). Now I need to get it timed. Does anyone know of a shop in the Los Angeles area that can set the timing with a meter?
Thanks!

Thanks!

I have an '86 Jayco motorhome on an E-350 chassis, with a 6.9 engine and ATS turbo. Coming home from a trip last week, I started to lose power on the Interstate, going from 55 to 45 to 40 (on a flat section.) I exited the freeway, and on the offramp I tried to rev the engine in neutral, and it...
