It's good to be here...
I’m new to this forum, a forum member named mpaton, recommended I become a member. My RV that I full-time in is a 33’ 1994 Holiday Rambler Vacationer powered by a FI 460 Ford V8. I met mpaton when, towards the end of my recent 5,400 mile Grand Western North America Tour and Shakedown Journey, I developed a bad engine bearing and decided to replace my RV’s engine. The engine only had 63K on it but apparently the RV’s previous owner didn’t believe in doing mundane tasks such as maintenance of any kind. Mpaton had completed a similar engine replacement in his Winnebago some years ago and graciously stepped up and helped me with my engine replacement. As for me, I’m 67, a semi-retired geologist and have been a shade-tree mechanic my entire life. That said I will admit to not being truly up to speed with modern FI, though I can often muddle through with the help of engine/FI manuals and others. Anyhow, it’s good to be here.

Welcome to the Forum Steve, I haven't been here long myself but find myself reading for hours when I should be doing something else. There is just so much info on this Forum it is hard to walk away.
