estimated cost for repairs

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Mike:

The '85 FC is a good coach.

Need to check the power to the master switch for the HWH jacks. That switch
enables the solenoid that is located to the front of the entry step under
the coach.

There are fuses (or at least there was in my '85FC) for the drive line
retarder located in the main control box located just above the retarder
proper. Also need to check the power from the retarder switch. Seems like
both power enables to those switches go through "C" plug under the dash
then on to the cb's and conversely to the enable solenoids. Those cb's are
located behind the drivers front head light.

Power steering pump I had rebuilt, not sure but in the neighborhood of
95.00. Ah, also check the bolts to the steering box and tighten them, bet a
nickle they are lose as well.

The ac covers, depends on what brand,, probably Brisk airs. Some are still
available.

I had some of those ok to drive local tires, then promptly had 2 blow outs.
Tires are expensive but in the long run, cheap insurance, because these
tires can take out wheel wells.

Good luck with her. If I can help let me know.

Safe travels,
