This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
Hello;
Any ideas on the challenges, if any, of placing a 616.912 into a 123
automatic that currently has a very sick 617? Any chance the flywheel will
fit the 616 and the tranny bolt up?

After paying over a hundred for a used pump from my mechanic I wound up taking
mine all apart & simply using the used diaphram. I'd recommend just buying a
new diaphram for 12 bucks. There are also a few different styles of pump so
keeping yours and rebuilding is the thing to do. If your bearing is good just
rebuild. Lawrence Rhodes... Hell no matter what rebuild. Easy job just be
carful of the lower allen head screws. Don't bugger them or you'll have hell to
pay.
Why did you dump the truck? Didn't you just get that not too long ago? It was so cold here on Thursday I lit my wood stove. Max

Poor connections in that box can also be the cause of rapid battery drain or more a correctly poor charging and starting problems.
Some years it's up high on the fenderwell , others it's down low on the ' frame rail ' near the alternator .

yes, it is the Becker Grand Prix, with many buttons, no knobs. It has two cool push up or down volume & automatic (antenna ??) levers.
How do I remove it?
Thank you

The W124 cd will hit at the same time as the W126. This one is very extensive, previously only offered to dealers.
Thanks Tom, I'll be looking forward to your announcement.
