Hi all, I am a newbie and this is my first post. Forgive me if I'm doing this wrong
My wife and I recently purchased a 2020 Forest River FR3 30DS with the Ford 7.3L Gas V8 (Class A on the F53 chassis). We love it so far! We just bought it in January and have already put 7500 miles on it! It was so nice and comfy at Disney in Orlando for 10 glorious days!
I was doing my first servicing today and everything went nice and smooth. Everything was easy to get to and needed very few tools! (After servicing my Sprinter Based Winnebago Via for the last ten years that was soooo refreshing! lol).
My "replacement" Air filter for the 7.3 came from the local NAPA. It was a NAPA Gold cross reference for the original Motorcraft BC34-9601-BA which seems to be discontinued (??).
Anywho, I could not get the air filter compartment to close with the new filter! I put the old one back in and BOOM...it closes. I went back and forth with the new and the old thinking I must be doing something wrong
but I wound up putting the old one back in.
I will re-check with NAPA in the morning to see if they've had other reports of this same issue.
Any ideas from any other 7.3 V8 Gas owners? Anyone else encountered this problem? Would sure appreciate any advice/help!
Happy Camping!
Michael
