    W-20/W-22 Workhorse Chassis Brake Problems?

    RVLadyL,   How are you appealing their response???? I am still awaiting the repair facilities response from Workhorse, which they assured me would be denied. Not only is workhorse denying the extra cost to the repairs, but today I received an email from Workhorse identifying that they made a...

    Is Workhorse reimbursing owners for previous repairs for brakes

    Does anyone know if Workhorse is going to reimburse people who paid for these repairs prior to the recall? I contacted the local dealer to schedule my repairs,  since I had a problem last week and mentioned what I had done previously and had paperwork to submit for reimbursement. ($1588.00) ...

    Workhorse Brake Recall Resource Center

    I love my Workhorse Coach  :), and do not plan to get rid of it in the near future. But I do want the brake issue fixed, since I spent @ $1500  :'( on repairs for this issue over 2 years ago. I'm hoping for the fix and some reimbursement once its filed and I can send in the paperwork.

    cb antenna

      I installed a CB Antenna on my coach shortly after buying it in 2002. The front cap is fiberglass so I ran a braided ground strap to the aluminum framework inside the coach. It required removing a panel for access inside the storage compartment.  That gave it a great ground plane which is...

    Trying to troubleshoot rooftop AC

      I had a similar concern with the AC compressor run capacitor. The only thing I would recommend for the testing is to charge the capacitor by placing the ohmmeter leads on the cap terminals(once disconnected from the circuit), after a few seconds  switch the meter from Ohms to DC Volts. The...

    Workhorse GM8.1L engine problems

    I am extremely pleased with my 2002 GM 8.1 and Allison powertrain. I did have one engine failure that was a minor concern.  On my way back from Dover a rocker arm on one of the exhaust valves broke. It was covered by GM and has been fine ever since.

    W-20/W-22 Workhorse Chassis Brake Problems?

      Richard 34A,  I am not sure what adapters would work with the motive system, but I bought a vacuum bleeder a while ago from Griots Garage and it worked great. You pump it to create a vacuum, connect it to the bleeder and pull the fluid out. I also took a "C Clamp"  and compressed the caliper...
