I've got a 91 WB with a Powertech Generator with a large hole in the
muffler. Coach is located in Orlando area. Two questions:

1. I crawled under the coach (not much room) to see where the problem
was. Is this a do it yourself job, and if so, where can I get the
muffler?

2. If not a do it yourself project, then what shops would someone
recommend?

I have spoken to the Powertech folks and they were iffy at best as to
working on the exhaust.

I've got a 91 WB 40 with a big hole in the muffler. Called Bluebird
and spoke with Benny and with the Parts Department. Didn't have one
available and suggested I just go to NAPA. They gave me a Walker Part
number of 22255. I've tried a NAPA stoer and a Discount Auto store
with no luck. They can't come up with a cross reference to that
number and believe that it is an old number.

Anybody know if there is a superced number or of a substitute part
number or of a source that might have this part.

system. http://tinyurl.com/8ne7e

Thanks. I clikced on the link you provided and it took me to a
custom muffler page. Looked all over the site and couldn't find
anywhere that I could locate this muffler by the part number that BB
gave me. I will email Walker Technical support to see if they can
help.

Tom I can see why you have trouble finding a muffler YOU DONT READ!!!!!!!
My god friend you have to do a little bit of the work. You would waste
their technical support staffs time instead of just doing a little work
yourself.

Go to muffler styles and Its a style 9, 4" inlet 10 X 15" 36" shell
length with an overall length of 39", part number 22255.

These kinds of things are easy to research on the internet but you have to
spend a few minutes reading. If you are not willing to do that then I would
suggest you take the coach to someone that can repair it.

I am going to answer my own email.

What I should have asked first is Bill do you know how to use the internet?
If not then that would account for why you didnt find the information from
the URL that I posted. I forget sometimes that not everyone on the forum
has the same level of expertise either working on motorhomes or researching
information on the internet. I have been using the internet for over 30
years now(starting with the Arpa net when I was at a government lab). And
no I am not Al Gore and I didnt discover the internet.

This muffler issue is a perfect example of how people can easily overlook
information if they dont know how to access the information on a URL.

I have a tremendous amount of information on Bluebirds specifically my 1982
FC35 but also on other models and years. It took me a lot of time
researching on the internet to find it, download it, print it out and file
it in plastic protectors and then into loose leaf notebooks, 12 of them
now to be precise. I do the same things with information that people post
about specific fixes, parts etc and that information is filed in mailboxes
within Eudora by subject, for example Cat 3208, DD6V92, generator etc.

I also carry with me at all times either in my Jeep when I am not
travelling or in the motorhome when we are, a small spiral ring notebook
about 5" X 7" and about 1/2" thick with information on different parts of
my coach. When I work on something on the coach I write it down on a page
with all of the part numbers etc from the part or parts and then later get
the information for where to buy it and the new part numbers etc. It makes
it a lot easier when I need a new part because everything is at my fingertips.

Maybe we should take a couple of polls to see how many on the forum need
help in using the internet and researching items.

I am willing to help anyone like most other people on this forum. But if we
go to all of the trouble to try and help you the ball is in your court, and
if you are having a problem using the information then please tell us so we
can get it straightened out.

Mr warner
There is no need to chastise a fellow owner about a question that was
asked
The Gentleman was asking for a particular part number not a link to
website with custom parts
While it is true that not all owners are as enlightened as you are in
your verbose answers and do not keep the meticulous and copius records
that you do, there is no need to terrorize the person
That Gentleman was looking for a particular part number that should be
available and not a custom built part
If you find the need to chastise someone pick on me or someone else on
this website with big shoulders do not drive the unititated away.
Your answers which sometimes border on the ridiculous are driving
others away from this website much to its detriment.
And for one I really dont care if you worked on the arpanet or simply
used tin cans and string you are not the be all and end all of this site
If you insist on carrying on this way towards other owners I would ask
that you read the Disclaimer on the home page YOU DO READ DONT YOU??
and quit bothering other people with some of the mindless answers you
provide.
If you keep up the fireworks I will ask the moderators to restrict
your usage and replies to this site

If you have a problem with this please feel free to call me on the
phone and I will explain it in more colloquial terms
