Hello, this is my first RV. Its a 1977 Dodge Sportsman/Shasta Motorhome. It has a 360 engine. I traded for this RV. I traded a 1992 Chevy conversion van for it. I drove the thing from New Smyrna Beach back to central florida (70 Miles). What a trip that was. I had an initial ground issue, which I fixed right at the start. The RV started right up, Idles strong. The issue I had was once in gear it would big down and want to die. I made it home, got her up to around 60mph on the interstate. Along the way i lost the fan/alternator belt. Once i got it home i found out that it had two belts. Well I bought the same one I already had on it..power steering and drive belt. I did nt know if anyone knew what the part # might be for the second belt (alternator/fan belt. Autozone has alot of belts for it..and i dont have the old one.
Also when you shift it into gear it shifts pretty hard...I know its old...driving it i had no issues with it shifting while in gear. I just power cleaned inside/outside and she looks pretty good. Now i'm on to the important things..motor and engine. Oh she has a power steering leak as well, but I should be able to figure it out.
1)What are the part Numbers for the drive belts?
2)What would cause engine to bog down, want to die when in gear?
3)What could cause the hard shift when put into drive or reverse?
Thanks for any help
