Finding discontinued Generac 75D coolant hose C4845 requires checking specialized generator dealers, industrial suppliers, custom fabrication shops, or cross-referencing with similar models. Generic coolant hoses can often be adapted with proper sizing.
A gas detector that beeps every minute during nighttime hours (7PM-7AM) is typically experiencing low voltage issues, sensor degradation, or interference from temperature changes and humidity. The timing pattern suggests power-related problems rather than actual gas leaks.
Keep your RV generator running reliably with this comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting guide for Onan, Generac, and Cummins units.
Your chassis A/C cycling above 2800 RPM is likely caused by high head pressure from insufficient airflow at highway speeds, low refrigerant despite proper charge, or the PCM cutting A/C during high load conditions - this is normal protective behavior on Ford V10 engines.
Reversed heater lines cause hot dash air while driving because coolant constantly flows through heater core. Diagnose by feeling hose temps, fix by swapping hoses or adding shutoff valve.
Hard starting often fuel pressure bleed-down from check valve or injector. Test by cycling key to build pressure. Use gauge for definitive diagnosis.
Protect your RV from freeze damage with this comprehensive winterization and de-winterization guide.
Turbocharging V10 is technically possible but impractical. Cost of $10-20K+, risk of engine damage, and complexity make it poor value. Better to buy a diesel pusher.
When your RV slide out motor runs but won't retract, it's typically a hydraulic system issue like low fluid, air in lines, or a faulty valve. Cable systems may have broken cables or stripped gears.
When your Dometic RV air conditioner runs but doesn't blow cold air, the most common causes are dirty air filters, blocked condenser coils, low refrigerant, or faulty capacitors. Start with cleaning filters and coils before checking electrical components.
