    Shocks for F53 Chassis

    I normally run between 55 and 60 slowing down on bad roads. It’s those holes, gaps, bad over passes,etc that sometimes shakes it up.

    Shocks for F53 Chassis

    Overall there is no problem with handling or ride just a rough ride on a bad roads. For example, Some Louisiana Mississippi roads are not well maintained; thus a sizable hole or bad pavement joint feel and sounds like an explosion

    Shocks for F53 Chassis

    Koni vs Bilstein vs Monroe for F 53 chassis. Which will provide a softer ride on bad roads? Koni is supposed to be a softer ride than Bilstein but described by some as harder.

    HOT DASH AIR

    Came across the below from another forum. Makes sense! Whenever I press down on the accelerator, whether just picking up speed or going up a grade, the stream of cold air coming from the air-conditioner stops.

    HOT DASH AIR

    I looked at AutoZone online; after entering my engine the computer showed it did not fit. That stirred curiosity about what pump would; thus my post. Seems like any pump should work but pumps are not equal.

    Adding Vacuum Pump to F53 v10

    Many have asked how to fix a F53 V10 A/C hot air flow thru dash vents due to warn or hot air occurring when accelerating or at idle. With that you got all kinds of answers. If the problem is a vacuum leak controlling fresh air doors, the addition of a vacuum pump is recommended on several...

    Checking/Adding fluid the Leveling Reservoir???

    Didn’t think so. Just curious what others do. Wasn’t planning to move slide all the way out. Just far enough to perform maintenance.

    Checking/Adding fluid the Leveling Reservoir???

    Clarification. Reservoir is behind left front tire. My side works on electric motors only with worm screws. The jacks are hydraulic.

    Checking/Adding fluid the Leveling Reservoir???

    Can the slide be moved out enough without the jacks down to check/add hydraulic fluid to the leveling reservoir? Manual says no pressure on the system; also says jacks down before moving the slide. What's best?

    Detail Shops vs DIY

    Update: Did the class A 32 ft MH myself. Took about 4 days. Used Meguiars 67 with rotary polisher, thick 7" diameter pure wool pads, bottle of spray water, and lots of microfiber towels. Started at top of walls etc on a 10 foot step ladder working across and down. Worked 5-7 square foot...
