Thanks! Appreciate the clarification. Aside from the gallon of 75w-140 Synpower gear oil I have ready to go in the rear end I hope it doesn't need anything else. It does not have a catalyst at all. Eventually, we're redoing the back bedroom right now but it's looking MUCH better and actually...

Any real world update? I'm pre-OBD2 so unless I get ambitious and put temperature gauges on the coolant (and transmission) I've got no idea.

I think the one what came out was a 180F. 23rd week of 2005 manufacture possibly? <img src="https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/attachments/usergals/2020/07/full-16339-46096-94ee7ad3_69fb_407f_b6be_23f0d8f20a95.jpeg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image"...

Six coolant system changes later it ran clean and clear, refilled with conventional green, new 180F thermostat and gasket. First drain <img src="https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/attachments/usergals/2020/07/full-16339-46085-8df650ca_31ff_4a55_b33e_f08add720d70.jpeg" alt="[Linked Image]"...

Finally getting around to starting the mechanical work today with a coolant flush, going to refill with conventional green and plan on changing it every two years. We've been busy ripping out the back bedroom and discovering the source of all the water leaks - just completed a nice Solidworks...

There is some water damage from the rear picture window in the back bedroom, but as part of the remodel we're pulling out all the paneling, repairing the leaks, replacing the window weatherstripping and installing sound deadening before reinsulating & installing new cabinets/wall panels...

I cleaned an inch of dirt off the power steering fluid cap and all it says "use approved fluid"... and nothing showing on the dipstick. Already got Maxlife for the transmission which specs Mercon on the dipstick. Do I use it in the power steering system? Type F? Generic power steering fluid...

Howdy - Just agreed to buy this 26' class C RV from my in-laws and I need some help from the hive mind on catch-up maintenance as well as issues to look out for. It's a 1989 Lindy 2600, built on a Ford Econoline 350 chassis. 460 V8, C6 three speed transmission. Definitely needs some TLC. <img...
