Work finished, Refrigerator & Muffler Fix & Replace

[Eric Perplies]

Two comments: Regarding your refrigerator not cooling when underway:
You should verify that the white thermocouple that is fastened on the
right side of your reefer coils is securely attached. It's just a
friction fit. (I had a similar problem and that was the solution.)

I have not changed the muffler on my rig. I understand that it is
challenging to drop the new muffler in and hold it in position so you
can secure it. When you paint the muffler with the very high
temperature paint be aware that this type of paint has a very high
silicone content that sloughs off on your hands easily. I had a
problem with my turbo charger tubes coming apart after painting them
with the high silicone paint. I would mask the clamping area with
tape and remove the masking tape just before clamping.

Another thought: I wonder if adding insulation to the box or the
muffler will improve things? Keeping a large air space around your
hot muffler will promote convection air currents that may be
desirable. Just a thought.

Good luck on your projects.
