Thanks again Tom! Just one last question: I came across the attached image that was labeled as the vacuum system of a van of this era. Did you replace all of these various hoses, the check valve, and...

I am guessing that the two possible causes of an intake manifold leak are either a bad gasket or a cracked manifold?

I fear I don't know very much about the vacuum system in my van: are the...

TomF - Do you have any tips on replacing these hoses for a Dodge 2500 van? I did a quick search for parts and nothing came up. Did you just purchase generic rubber hoses and run them to replace the...

Thanks! It is true that the air filter hasn't been changed for a very (very!) long time, so that at least is easy enough to fix.



Thanks again! I am in upstate NY so its pretty hilly but we...

losing power uphill

Apologies if this is not the right forum for this question, but my 1999 RT 170 all of a sudden today started losing power uphill. I couldn't get it above 10 or 15mph but it did keep creeping up the...

I also have never had difficulties finding spots if I keep moving. But there are specific reasons that I am needing to stay put with hookups and Wifi, so that is what I asking about here. It doesn't...

Thank you very much for your response! What I was looking for was some kind of camping place or RV park with hookups and Wifi, where a class B can have an extended stay of a month or two. But I don't...

Does anyone have any recommendations for campsites with shore power and Wifi in the southeast, somewhere far south enough that snow is unlikely (or at least minimal) year round, that might be good...

You should stick to what you are comfortable with, but, are you sure about what that manual says? I took a look at both the brochure and owner's manual and did not see the 5 gallon number. All I see...

Yes, it is Dodge. I think all the 170s were Dodge until 2002 or 2003, whenever it was that Dodge stopped making those vans.

Actually, I think it is quite a bit bigger in the 1999 model - I think they moved it to the back of the van and so were able to increase the size from a 30 pound capacity to a 35 pound capacity.

OK - I will be interested to know to compare it to my 1999. And maybe see if they can provide the Manchester tank number (called a "cat #" on the nameplate). For the 1999 RT 170, it is #6877 and it...

But is a rupture of the tank itself likely? I thought the pressure release valve is supposed to prevent that possiblity.

OK. But, when people talk about those portable BBQ tanks, they say that they are 20lb tanks, which, in that case, if I understand correctly, is the amount of propane that you should put in the tank...

manchester tank nameplate

All manchester RV ASME tanks have a nameplate like the picture attached. I am thinking now that the GAL (gallons) number is probably the total capacity of the tank (30 gallons here) and must be...

OK. Well, as far as I know propane fumes should not come out of the fill valve at all when filling so I do not know why they were with your old tank, but I do not think that it was because the tank...

I just want to make sure that we are not talking about two different things -- the "spit valve" is a separate small valve to the left of the fill valve (in your picture). When you say that "vapor...

But I still don't know why you are thnking only 4 gallons. This is very little - it is less than a portable BBQ container takes. I think that your tank takes much more than that. It will say on the...

Yes, I think so: if *liquid* propane is coming out of the spit valve (the small valve near the fill valve), then yes, it is 80%. But, I am not sure that means the OPD (overfill protection device) is...

OK - well, I am not completely sure about the spit valve, but I think that the idea is that you open it a little bit while filling and it will hiss but no liquid will come out. As the tank starts to...

Booster -- can you explain how to use the spit valve correctly? I think that some liquid come out of mine even before it is completely full, though I am not sure.
