Update on loss of Turbo Boost and check Transmission light

[Julia Bonser]

We arrived in front of Stewart and Stevenson at 10 p.m. last night.
They said they would take a preliminary look today. From our
description of the problem and what work had been done they thought
that the issue was on the engine side of the equation. What they
found was the air filter was full. Now they are trying to locate a
filter to fit. They have phoned Bluebird but did not get an answer
today. He hoped for a call back tomorrow.

After they put in the air filter they will test the system to see if
the problem is resolved. Now it really is aggravating to have to pay
3 shops to troubleshoot a problem when the first shop should have
found the problem. United Engines in Oklahoma City told us that we
had about 50% left on our air filter. They were wrong and
consequently we had a transmission shop try to find the problem. I
guess it is a good thing to have all our ground connections made
secure but it was not the cause.

So does Bluebird work on Friday. Does anyone know what air filter the
1992 WLWB 40' PT 8V92 uses?
If S & S can obtain a filter we could possibly be on our way to our
winter abode.

Thanks for all the advice and support. The camaraderie of these
lists is truly wonderful.

Julie if I were in your place I would immediately contact both shops
for a 100% refund once you get the bill. If you have the number off
the old filter go to this site and plug it in with no
dashes. http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/index.asp then go
to http://www.filter1.com and get the phone number and the chances are they
will have one in stock.

Glad the source of the problem has been found. Had a similar situation myself
this
summer. A couple of conditions had coordinated to plug the filter. Is there a
number on
the existing filter? It took a couple of days to get a filter shipped to us
thru NAPA. Hope
they can find yours faster.

We're interested in air filters too. We checked our indicator
yesterday and found our BB needed a new one. We leave Co. for Mi.
tomorrow. The rv dealer looked all over Denver and east to where
ever. He found a Parker Hannifin filter (factory spec)in Ga.
What gives? You'd think an air filter for a diesel engine would be
readily availble. Jack VanDenBerg 05 Lxi Glenn, Mi

I had my coach serviced last Friday. I do not know if your air filter is the
same as mine but I will give you the number off of my invoice. NAPA 2610 same
day delivery $121.60

In any event NAPA should be able to match yours up.

They're made to BB specs, consequently, it doesn't matter
what Wanderlodge you have, getting the right filter is a pain.
The best choice is thru BB.

If we had a brain in our head after being tired and stressed we would
have thought to look in our manuel. There it is on the first page
"Service Parts Sheet."
Farr #99842-004B
Then on the back of the sheet a previous owner wrote down that it was
also Donaldson P12 9396 which apparently the NAPA 2610 corresponds.

I will give the information to the shop manager first thing tomorrow
morning.

Thanks Tom,

I was incorrect. Please disregard my previous post on
air filters made to BB specs. This is true of the LXi, but
not for all BB's.

Tom:

You are jumping the gun here with a call for 100% refund from
shops. Perhaps the first one, which falsely gave the Bonsers a clear
slate on the filter. Industrial Automatic was diagnosing a
transmission code showing low voltage to a throttle sensor. There was
no engine fault code. They did recommend taking it to an engine outfit
and that ended up being Stewart & Stevenson who diagnosed the problem.

It is unfortunate that all shops are not capable in dealing with
all the problems encountered with these rigs. Most of these problems
end up being a result of poor preventative maintenance, which is often
caused by poor record keeping and things are left undone until they fail.
