Valve Adjustment, D60, 2000 LXI

[luckyron1]

Am about to take the coach in for the annual oil & filters replacement; timely
dessicant cartridge changeout. In looking at the recommended maintenance
schedule for the D60 I see a valve lash adjustment recommended at 60,000. We're
there. Over the phone, the guy from Alamo Diesel wandered if he would go in
from the bedroom floor or the rear. Anybody done this on a 2000 LXI?
Thanks.

if they go thru the bedroom, it will be a mess to clean up.

UH, oh, doesn't sound like this mechanic knows Bluebirds. Take your coach to Clyde at Seguin Diesel. 830-379-7121, 555 IH 10 East. Clyde owns a BB and knows these Birds.

Thanks for the input folks. As it turned out, they do have to go in thru the
bedroom floor. You have to remove the safe, the carpet, and then the cover and
insulation. This allows access for the valve adjustment, a Jake adjustment, and
even the ENGINE WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE SENSOR (also needed on ours) on the 2000
LXI. Alamo Diesel quoted me 860.00 for the valve adjustment including the floor
work. Not as bad as what we've heard from some others. We'll have it done next
fall. BTW, Alamo Diesel did a nice job on the routine engine maintenance. Oil,
filters, chassis lube, brake adjustment, air/dessicant change-out etc. Will be
going back for more.
