Air filter problem on 2005 HR Endeavor
Yesterday I replaced the air filter element in our Endeavor but what I found surprised me. When I started to install the new cartridge I noticed the cannister was bent in the back so the new filter couldn't be pushed onto the stub of the outlet tubing and seal. Looking at the old filter the seal area was deformed causing a dubious seal. Crawling under the coach the piping from the turbo inlet was misaligned and caused the bent cannister.
I had to remove the 5 inch steel tube from the rubber 45 on the cannister and the turbo inlet. The clamps were all tightened from the top and hard to reach from underneath leading me to believe this was done at Roadmaster when rhey built the chassis. The coach is 10 years old but only has 28,000 miles so this is probably the first time the filter has been changed. I realigned the tubing and the 45 bend and got every thing to line up without bending the filter housing.
I'm glad T got this done but it really turned into a big job, especially when I thought 5 minutes at most. You may want to check yours as a bad seal will allow dirt into the turbo air side and will eventually destroy the driven wheel.
