Not necessarily downtime

Randy T · #1 2 Weeks Ago

I have traveled full time at such a rate for the last seven years that repairs are as needed simply because I don't stay still and mostly because things work. I love my engine and power train, and feel I have been over cautious as far as maintenance, she moves me. But I have a couple months coming up that I want to use as productively as possible and want to focus on my chassis.

Any DIY with good cribbing that I should be able to accomplish? I'm thinking about a couple of threads that have come up recently; my shocks, kings pins replacement mentioned lately.. something about just the knuckles? Definitely thinking about airbags. Also.. my back Duo-Therm AC went out last Spring after 26 years, so I'm in the mkt for a replacement and something quiet could be nice even if it doesn't last as long.

If your bags are original I would put them on the list for sure. I doubt you want to try to do kingpins. With two people and a pry bar it isn't too hard to tell if they are bad. How many miles on your bus? Any air leaks? Seems like most have at least one somewhere.

Just over 200k. Step need some love same as every other year, but air leakage very minimal. I imagine the airbags are original so they've been on my mind.
