I do love those saniflush toilets. The only problem I ever had with the one I installed was the connection points on the tank for the shower and sink seemed a bit on the short side once you cut the end off. Turning out great!!

In the late 90's, when I was a young man, I had a girlfriend when I was stationed at Luke that had grandparents in Sun City. One weekend we redid all the gravel on the lot. 20 ton. I've not moved gravel like that since, and don't plan to. It's not fun.

Finally getting a pool huh?

Hey there's more than 5 of us! And, I think you hit the nail on the head. I can't count how many threads I've seen where folks have this EXACT issue and can't figure it out. I for one will file this away in my head and if I ever have this issue, it might be the first thing I check, not the...

Nice to see they went back to regular bolts on that pan as opposed to the stupid hold down brackets mine has.

Thanks Mike Yeah I did manage to think far enough ahead to block that little hose off. I think it was probably the fact that I couldn't get the entire rubber piece into where the cap goes. It was just too shallow and when I went to tighten the rubber on the vac gauge, I don't think it sealed...

Last bit of the brake line install on the JK. Drivers side mount finished. And routed. That's a wrap. Thanks for looking!

Obviously by this time, I was getting a bit frustrated. The passenger front took me forever to get done. Once I figured that all out, the drivers front went a lot faster. I ground the head of the bolt and made a flat on the washer to clear the locking bracket for the brake line. First test...

On to the Jeep brake project. This took me an abominable 5 hours to complete. Part of that was me taking my time, but most of that was the previous owner moved the front brake lines down and bolted them direct to the frame. That worked fine, and I did the same as you'll see later, but no...

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I got back out to the shop for one day after the debacle that I'm still mad about last weekend. So, I guess we'll start there. Last weekend, I headed over to the shop, excited to get some work done. The tasks were to get the gen set put back together...

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I managed to get back out to the shop to do some work on the Onan and get thinking and preparing for other upcoming projects in preparation for the upcoming camping season. I've had several things on my list for a while now, but since the weather is starting...

Thanks for the info!! I hadn't thought about the library! Which is a bit weird, because I read every night before bed and you guessed it, free books form the library. I'll also check out all dataDIY.

Mike do you have some sort of program or subscription for your FSM's? You work on a whole variety of stuff and it's obvious you follow the FSM for most if not all work you do. Reason I ask is, I managed to get a download of a PDF for the FSM for my generator engine, but I had to dig through the...

Thanks Mike! I'll check it out. I'm not super brand loyal and I don't do work for people outside of pretty immediate family, so affordability and use case is key when I purchase something I might use once a year.

Nice work on the Volvo Mike! I've been digging around looking for a coolant vac/refill setup this past weekend. I searched this thread and didn't see a clear indication of the system you use, but I wondered if you might snap a picture of it or let me (us) know what setup you use. Wouldn't mind...

Mike, I was also thinking about you yesterday as I was shoveling 9" of snow off of my driveway. You can have it back now. Once is enough for a season.

Sounds great Mike! Well done on the whole project! Question on the air system though. Your air suspension runs on the coach air? Do you not have an auxiliary tank and compressor that runs the air bags?

Yep, exactly right Mike! And I did go back and hit it with a small weld. I must say though, it hit me pretty hard how much I have to learn on welding because your welds are WAY better than what I did, plus I'm guessing it didn't take you nearly as long as my one weld did. I think the one weld...

Exhaust is coming along nicely Mike! Glad you found the welds on the battery box. For sure don't want those failing! My BIL has a mostly failed battery tray on his Super C. Pain to get to to fix.

I'm right at 1400 hours Mike. Your thread is what has inspired me to get into this thing more. I'm not quite ready to go through the valve adjustment yet, but once I find a shop manual for it, that may change my mind. I can't remember how many hours yours has and when you schedule the adjustments.
