If that new oil pan doesn't resolve the excessive heat you were experiencing then probably nothing will. That's a pretty impressive oil pan.

We’re finishing up our trip to Cooperstown in the 396XL, great weekend, giving my left shoulder time to recover. Got to get the 370LE ready for our trip to Roger’s Rock for a weekend of dry camping in the northern mist tip of Lake George. Now that the new transmission pan is on I’m going to flush the tranny with 20 qts of Mercon 5 ......thanks to my friends at Ford. All other bolts are tight now.....it just needs a good cleaning from our trip out West, refill the gas and water tank and take off ! Regards, Bob

Looks like some potential exposure to debris or an alligator on that pan. You going put a bash guard on it.

Hey Peter maybe a coincidence but ?? Breaking in and debugging the new engine trans going well at 5000 miles or so but now when I plug into 110 power it does not seem to be charging the RV deep cycles or Start battery either .Could it be the onboard splitter/trickle charger died . I havent detected this before maybe it died a few years ago and I never noticed . Or maybe re hooked up the batteries wrong .Still learning after all these years .Either way one of those things on the winter list

We’re up at Roger’s Rock for the weekend, looks like it’s going to be a good one. We have been blessed with awesome weather this summer. All systems are fully operational and it was a great drive up here last night. The transmission is awesome using the manual downshift mode coming down the long mountain grades. I think I worked most of the bugs out during the 6,000 mile trip to Yellowstone, Regards, Bob

With the colder weather approaching I figured it was time to re-connect the front floor heat. Because I put such a large kitchen sink in when I redid the kitchen I had to find a new place for the thermostat. Another 2 hours under the kitchen sink running wires and Walla it’s done. The sensor to turn the heat on and off is in the middle of the floor so it doesn’t matter where the control head is mounted. There is a 2 amp draw on the front heat and a 3 amp draw on the rear heat......it’s nice to have warm floors especially getting out of the shower in the morning. Regards, Bob

Interesting, the bags on the 370 don't get dumped when using the leveling system, like they do on the 350/345/325. Which must mean the bags are not controlled by the Tag. How do you adjust the tag load on that chassis?

OK, this is for Peter.....I’ll try to explain the suspension on the 370LE which is very different from the other Classic motor homes. The frame is from a Gillig bus. The main suspension is supported front and rear by 4 air bags. The frame height from the bottom of the frame to the floor is 27”. The rear ride height is determined by the adjustments on the tag axle. The tag axle is a torsion axle with a limited amount of travel up and down just like the trailers and the 325, 345, 350 and 360 series classic motor homes. The mid point of travel of the tag axle is where the frame is exactly 27” from the ground. When the rear is jacked up the drive axle has more up and down movement because it is not a torsion axle. Regards, Bob
