Is the ACE Genny problem fixed or not

[mrdino]

I really like the 29.2 layout. Looking at a used 13 but am having doubts because of the 55 page thread on the genny overheat issue.
I may end up going with an FR3 just because of this issue. Any updates would be appreciated.

1) Are all ACE units before 2014 effected?
2) Has the issue been permently resolved by Thor?
3) Has moving the genny to the rear solved the problem for 2015?

Thanks,
Gary

I have a 2013 29.2 with generator in original location. Have put around 60 hours on mine, it has never shut down.

I haven't seen anyone with a rear mounted genset complain of a Code 36 shutdown, so I believe the relocation has resolved the issue. IIRC, the mounting location change was made mid-way through the 2014 model year. All ACE's manufactured prior to that are prone to the Code 36 shutdown in the right conditions (high ambient temps, genset and chassis engine running for extended periods). Owners have tried various fixes to include louvered genset bay doors, insulation on fuel lines, an additional electric fuel pump, and various heat shielding. Because of the variety of fixes tried, results have been mixed. The original Thor fix of a heat shield and fuel line insulation was ineffective. I believe most people who added an electric push pump had some success. I elected to have Thor relocate my genset to the rear (went from front bay driver's side to rear bay passenger side) and have never had any more issues.

Moonshine94, how is the noise with gen in the bedroom? Can you sleep? I am having mine moved mid Sept. OP...Thor has a Technical Information Bullitin (TIB) for the permanent fix, which is to move it from the front to the rear of the coach.
