Re: converter trouble shooting

follow up- so the battery was the culprit. With new AGM while plugged in to power my monitor is indicating that it is charging and the fan not running all the time as its not working as hard to try and charge my old AGM. Is the old Magnetek 6332 converter bad for a new battery? I thought I read som...

Re: New here, and looking at buying a 96 B190... Advice anyone?

Forgot the cruise control. Check the fuse and check the cable, but it may be a bad module. I've had that happen in another Ford from that era. If you can find a set of factory service manuals, there are troubleshooting steps to narrow the problem. Because it could also be the clock spring in your st...

Re: New here, and looking at buying a 96 B190... Advice anyone?

Thanks everyone, but it looks like this turned it to be a scam. "Terri" demanded cash only, and when I texted I could get it if everything checks out but would not bring it, she text replied "Sold!". The add went down, but is back up today. I asked by text today if her deal went...

Re: New here, and looking at buying a 96 B190... Advice anyone?

Watch for leaks - these are known for leaks in the vent above the bunk and the windows around the bunk especially. Look for discoloration or pieces of the ceiling hanging at odd angles. Of course, look for signs of leaks everywhere, but those in the bunk are the most common issue. Check all of the a...

Wish I had the time and money, but one project B190 is enough! Plus the trailer is going to need a bunch of TLC once we get the van "done".

Re: Buying it back...

I haven't had a lot of time to work on this lately, at least in a visible way. In February, while we were away, the box with the new gasket and slider material for the slider windows arrived (marked fragile, which worried our neighbor that put it in our screened-in porch for us). I've been slowly re...
