When calling a place, it's a good idea to make sure that they understand that you have a class C motorhome; many service centers don't/can't work on large, heavy vehicles.Joan

Re: Need Mechanic Recommendation! Reply #4 – December 03, 2004, 08:26:04 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47261A place that comes highly recommended is Gary's RV in Oceanside, CA. I called them on a recent trip to S. CA. while shopping for a LD. They were willing to take me in for a pre-purchase inspection on short notice and told me they do chassis/engine work as well as coach work. Several RV'ers on the Open Roads Forum speak highly of them.

It failed the 2500 RPM with a CO% of 2.40. QuoteSays the max should be 1.50. It looks like it failed smog in June of this Quoteyear for the same reason with a score of 2.08. Seems they replaced the O2Quotesensor and it passed with a .55. Any ideas? Well, if the O2 sensor is bad, it should trigger a computer code the mechanic can read, typically. However, they should last a long time. It is possible it was replaced previously but was incidental to the cure. The O2 sensor does not come into play until it has warmed up, so an irregularity in the engine warm-up could affect the engine control loop which uses the O2 sensor. You might ask the previous owner some details on recent smog-test history.Steve
