    Vortec 8.1 hesitating on acceleration and under load

    I've only got about 62K on mine. Nowhere near 190K. I doubt, in my case, it is fuel pump. I'll rule out other things first. Sparks, wires, and even the coils are all much easier to deal with. I did get a P0332 code on mine at one point (if my memory serves). Think that means the knock sensor...

    Vortec 8.1 hesitating on acceleration and under load

    Yeah, those are the ones I'm thinking of using. Expensive, but seems like they would alleviate any future issues regarding burning the wires.

    Vortec 8.1 hesitating on acceleration and under load

    I know when I replaced my sparks and wires the first time, it made an incredible difference in how the engine ran. And I didn't even know it wasn't running well before. So, if you don't know whether it has been done, I'd just do it.

    Vortec 8.1 hesitating on acceleration and under load

    Funny you bring this thread up again. Because, just recently, even here in Florida, had the same issue pop up again. So, back in 2018, what ended up happening is that I drove all the way back to Florida without actually finding out the cause. And, also, the problem disappeared. Basically, as I...

    Workhorse W22 Fuel Line - Where To Find?

    Few months back, the braided fuel line heading into the engine busted a leak due to long-term abrasion. We couldn't find the original part fast enough, so we ended up using regular fuel line, insulated with tape, and attached using standard hose clamps. It works, but... Twice, I've had the fuel...

    A/C Water Leakage on my Workhorse W22

    I know water condensation is normal for an A/C. But, just wanted to check on something here... because today I noticed the leak volume was much more than normal. Running the dashboard air as we drove. We were hearing this water gurgling sound inside the dash as it was running. Then, when I...

    2002 Workhorse W22 with 8.1L Vortec and Ally 1000 drivetrain 53K miles

    This issue sounds familiar and I have pretty much the exact same chassis, on a 2002 HR Vacationer. When we were our west in 2018, I had numerous instances where the engine seemed to be missing when trying to climb hills or otherwise under load. It was as if the rig was bucking up the hill. I...

    Anti-Billowing Lock Install on Carefree Slide Topper

    Nah, I don't think it is installed backwards. Judging by the diagrams and the fact the lock pin was on the proper end, I'd say I'm good there. Aside from this pin tab, the whole install looks and works great.

    Anti-Billowing Lock Install on Carefree Slide Topper

    That's possible. What's odd, tho, is that the holes that are on the roller tube are exactly the right distance for the pin tab assembly. It is like they were put there for it, but just too far from the edge. Weird.

    Anti-Billowing Lock Install on Carefree Slide Topper

    This morning, I installed a new Carefree slide topper onto my main slideout. First time doing this. And it went just fine and it is working great. BUT... It has this anti-billowing lock that uses a sliding pin and a pin tab that is supposed to screw into the roller tube. Thing is, it doesn't...

    Humidity Control While In Storage

    My motorhome is stored under cover here in Florida when not in use. Twice now, I've caught a little bit of mold growing on the sides of cabinets due to high humidity and stagnant air inside. Just curious what others have done successfully. I'm aware that a dehumidifier would be good - and I...

    RV Entry Door Window Glazing

    Does anybody know good sources for RV rubber window glazing? I'm having a really hard time finding the right stuff to fit the door on my 2002 HR Vacationer. I even ordered a sample kit from Pelland (https://www.pellandent.com/Sample-Kit) and none of them fit. Just want to replace the rubber...

    Rear Axle Gasket leak. Outer or Inner?

    Actually, this might have been a dumb question. The inner gasket is behind the inner wheel of the dual, right? So, there'd be no way it could be the inner gasket. I don't see any leakage when I crawl under and look behind. Just looking for some confirmation of my thinking here. :)

    Rear Axle Gasket leak. Outer or Inner?

    I found a rear axle leak on my W22 chassis, driver side, this last summer while in Texas. Next month, planning to head up to AL for a bit, so figured might as well get this fixed before I leave. In TX, there was some fluid pretty obviously coming out of the outer gasket. It would pool up in the...
