Maybe, but for the past few hundred miles, the trans temps seem normal. We’re heading out in the Airstream again this weekend so we’ll see what happens under a 7200 lb load.

Well, the dealer found ”nothing wrong” and couldn’t duplicate the high transmission temps. Driving home, the temp peaked at 194, then cooled down and has been normal since. When home and cooled down, I noted the coolant reservoir was down to the last level indicator hole on the dip stick. I...

So, question for y’all. Had my trans serviced at the local Ram dealer. I’ve towed that 7,200 lb Airstream over 37,000 miles, and as I noted earlier, I’ve seen trans temps over 205 deg. It seemed prudent at 97,000 miles to change the trans fluid. I’ve changed the rear differential oil a couple...

Towing the 25’ Airstream, up long hills, often 5-6% grades, I’ll see the oil temp hit 250 easily. Up at North Cascades National Park, it touched 260. I thought that miles long steep climb old never end. I shut the A/C off when the coolant hits 230, and it usually goes back down. the...

The blind spot detection looks back 30+ feet. nice to have when towing.

I see this is an old post… im wondering how that worked. I put 2 Lion UT1300s in my Airstream ( 400 W solar) couple of years ago. Never thought about charging from the 7 Pin. The solar more than covers it and the batteries are fully charged by noon. Since we’re heading to the East Coast this...

I’ve had that smell for 37,000 miles. Over 8,500 towing, often in 105+ temps and 6% grades. No leaks, no overheating, no lost coolant. Dealer says they’ve never seen it before, but smell it too. New radiator caps don’t help.

I’ve had that sound. It sounds like a vacuum leak from the heat/AC system. It’s not. Crazy as at sounds, the dealer replaced the alternator and that fixed the problem. I can’t see how the alt can make a noise like that AFTER the engine shuts off, but the sound has been gone for over a month now.

Update: dealer can’t find any evidence of a leak again. Says mine is the only one they’ve seen that has the coolant smell. new Radiator cap didn’t help. I don’t seem to be losing coolant. No over heating. It just stinks when it’s parked and you walk by.... frustrating.

I had that happen once. Everything was completely dead, except for the alarm that went off when I used the key to get in. Worst of all, it unlocked and started when the tow truck finally got there. Makes me think twice about how far off road I go.....

since there were a 1000 posts under the heading of front suspension, I thought I just post this rather than spend hours searching. The dealer aligned my front tires at a bit less than 12,000 miles because of slight tire wear issue. At 30,000 miles, I noticed significant outer front tire wear...

Steveved, Did the the radiator cap help? The dealer replaced mine and it made no difference. At the same time, I never had an over heating problem, and I’ve seen coolant temps over 230 degrees towing the Airstream up 6% grades when it’s 110 outside so I had my doubts that was the problem. my...

I had the same smell for a while now. at 35,000 miles I took it to the dealer to have it looked at. They replaced the radiator cap and pressure tested it and it held pressure for hours. i Noticed the smell again 200 miles later.....
