    A tale of woe: We bought a 2022 Winnebago Solis Pocket with 5k miles in February. We used it a few times before taking it on a big trip out west to Yellowstone and the Tetons. On our last night at the Tetons, the transmission fell out of the van (not an exaggeration)! It turned out the...

    Is this the AT545 output speed sensor?

    I ask if this is the AT545 speed sensor because my speedometer and odometer are broken, so I'm trying to locate it. They say it's near the output drive shaft, but it just doesn't look anything like the speed sensor that supposedly comes with my vehicle...

    Best transmission for 93 gmc vandura?

    I haven't been around much lately, but a couple years ago we got our second bus just to use as is. The transmission is shot now and I'm looking to get it replaced. It has the 4L80e, which is widely available but not necessarily set up how I'll need it. I was hoping someone here will be able to...

    What a great resource this platform is. I've already gotten lots of good information here. I'm in the market for a midsize bus (from 25-30 feet). I know the DT466 and Allison 3060 are a good combo but probably mostly found in full size buses. After a ton of research I'm down to maybe looking...

And I think I have read most people put gauge on outlet...

    To add or not to add - transmission fluid

    Checking fluid levels for a trip coming up and have a stupid question: Hopefully this is visible in the photo but I'm right on the bottom edge of being in the hatched area on the tranny dip stick midway through the hole on the dip stick end. The owners manual conveniently doesn't show this dip...

    Universal Joint

    I’m only guessing here. Thor Hurricane 35M, pulling out of camp, heard loud “clunk” in reverse & a whir before engaged. No problem in Drive. Drive unit 6 hours and pulled into new site. Turned engine off. While positioning unit on site, same whir, hesitation to engage in forward drive. With...

    Ram 2500 2018 vs 2019

    I am close to pulling the trigger on a 2018 Ram 2500 LB 4x4 with the 6.4 and 4.10 rear end. On the Ram Forums, I am getting advice to just get a 2019 because of the 8 spd transmission. Basically, the 2018 2500 with the 6 spd is trash and should never be used to tow anything. Now, this is from...
