Re: Upper Window Leaks.....to the inside of the B190

Just wanted to post an update. Three years later and the windows still no longer leak. Has anyone else tried this method?

Upper Window Leaks.....to the inside of the B190

I think I found a fast , cheap easy way to fix the leaks on the sliding part of the windows! I did this on my 1993 B190 with great success. Inspect your windows and you will see the rubber which is supposed to contact the sliding part probably does not, as it has shrunk with age. Also, it probably i...

Hey, Brenda Did the Whoooo noise go away? Any other tips before I attempt to replace my Throttle Air Bypass Valve on 1993 B190? Has anyone just tried to clean the valve instead of replacement? And Skater -you were correct, the noise would not be from the "air pump", as I mentioned previous...

Winter Camping

Hi Skater, Hope you stayed warm on your trip. Will post this in case it may be helpful to others. Cut up several of the windshield sunscreens that are made of the aluminized bubble wrap stuff. Cut them to fit slightly larger than the windows, and they stay in place nicely when pressed around the edg...

Hi, Brenda. I have the same problem on my 1993 460. It started about three years ago, at 40K miles. It has gotten worse over time, as now I have 65K miles. While getting the cruise control recall taken care of at a Ford dealer, I asked a mechanic to listen to it, and he said it was "air pump&qu...

I have a 1993 B190, with about 60K miles, 460 engine. I averaged 12.6 mpg in 2006 on a 9000 mile trip that included about 4 nights of running the genset for roof AC, and much of the trip was in areas with extreme hills and slow curves. Included a 30 mile stretch we had to drive in first or second ge...

I should have mentioned the fan for use inside the frig. It does a great job of helping to keep uniform temps and lower temp in frig in hot weather. Mine is a small squirrel cage type, runs on D cell alkaline battery, which lasts about 3 weeks. From WalMart RV section at about $15. I keep mine in th...

Monitor refrigerator temperature

Three years ago, I bought an alarm clock with date and interior/exterior temperature monitor. I place the exterior temperature sensor in a ziplock bag to keep it clean, and put this inside the refrigerator. The clock/temperature indicator is usually kept in the small tray on driver side on top of th...
