While the 720 resolution worked, I didn’t like how it looked on our bigger LR television. So I bought a non 4K FireStick. Seems to flicker less, but still too much. Guess I’m going to buy a new...

What happened with the 4K stick?

I just plugged my FireStick into the splitter. I’m having intermittent cutting out of the picture and sound. Is that what you were experiencing?

Spartan 7370 fuel tank

I have an ‘02 7370 on Spartan. It’s 100 gallons on mine. The manual says when it indicates empty, there’s 20 gallons left. I’ve Ops tested that and it’s accurate.

Similar issue self resolved

My 02 Tradewinds on a Spartan did that 2-3 times in the first year we got it in 2013. Went off on its own. No other symptoms. I hear it can be dirt between the sensor and the wheel but I never did...

It’s a demand pump so shouldn’t run all the time

I was just getting into this system a few weeks ago. The pump has a pressure switch, so it should come on when the key is turned on, then turn off after vacuum has built. You probably have a leak....

Removal options

In taking the radiator out of its frame, it was apparent it had been removed previously as it was loaded with silicone that made it hard to remove the frame.

I successfully removed the radiator and CAC. Thought I was going to get away with pulling them out together but the CAC hose fitting at the bottom forced me to separate them.

Gorillas working in repair shops!

I broke two wrenches each getting my fuel filter and dessicant filters off. I swear they used an impact wrench on them.
