Want to restore an need help!! Looking for a good place to go with it,
all help is welcome.

I don't personally know of a place in IL familiar with BB's. There is the BB factory in Fort Valley, GA and Coachcraft by MacDonald in Columbus, GA. I have used Coachcraft which is a certified repair station for BB's. Their work was excellent.

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the forum. Jay Darst and I have both had engine work done
by Coile's Diesel in Saybrook, IL. They were terrific and pricing was
extremely fair. They are very familiar with the screamin' Jimmys and
should be able to handle any engine issues for you. It'll probably be
tough to find one shop that is thoroughly qualified to look at all
facets of your coach- but try
{http://www.funroads.com/coachcare/normal/} They should have the staff
on-hand to look at the genny, jacks, suspension and drivetrain. We
have a branch of the Coach Care network locally and they have always
treated me fairly.

I do not know if you have drawings or what group of problems you are having. It is extremely important that the coach have total ground integrity. Some easy things to check and clean are as follows as located on my coach. Yours should be similar. Main battery ground-It is a gang ground located at the rear curb side attached to the jumper start bar. It runs street to curb near the rear bumper below the bulk oil fill switch. Take it apart clean all connections, use electrical grease and reassemble. Secondary ground-On the curb side about half way up the engine bay front wall above the batteries is another ground to the frame. Disassemble it, clean and reassemble. Engine to frame ground-Clean it up There should be one for the tranny also. Do the same. If necessary you can run additional ground straps from the engine and tranny to the frame. In the front lower load center where all the relays are located you should find a ground bus bar 6"-8" long and a couple inches wide.and 4? fuse centers along with about 40 relays. Check out the integrity of the ground connections there. There may be a gang location at this ground bus bar for several smaller 16 gauge wires. I have never had any problems with my lights but some folks have. It may be necessary to use relays to make them work properly. It is also possible there is corrosion in one or more or the cannon plugs out front forward of the driver. Unscrew them and check for a burned pin or corrosion. Always disconnect grounds first and install them last. All of this assumes your coach is similar to mine.

AIR LIGHTS?? are you refering to the driving lights that drop down or
the lights that are associated with the low air pressure or the
lights associated with the air suspension system?
