Welcome back to the Retro Revivals Channel!
Harvey is going back to school! Can he turn into the ultimate companion at our tailgate party???
We're excited to have you back to see the continuing progress we're making on our retro 1976 Dodge Cruise Air RV! This vintage motorhome is coming along! In this video we add some additional lighting, fans, and charging ports to get ready to tailgate with our daughters! We also address some issues under the hood (starter relay, solenoid, wiring) in the attempt to get a more reliable start. A big thank you to ‪@glacierfresh‬ for providing us with an amazing water filtration system for this tiny home on wheels.

If your foam doesn't work, I fit a microwave in the sleeper of my prime mover with a homemade battery style clamp, using a threaded rod. It worked a treat, over rough corrugated dirt roads towing a roastrain with 3 double-decker trailers of cattle for years, with no issues. Even a ratchet strap might work "Hooooo!" Hacksaw Jim Duggan was one of my favourites! 😊 If you have a plumber's crack, you're qualified! The air filter lid isn't green! Also check tyre balancing for the source of the vibration
@retrorevivals

"Hoooooooo!!!" We should have just opened the little panel on the exterior and ratchet strapped that fridge down --- never even occurred to us! If we get sick of the velcro, we'll go that route. Thanks for the suggestions!

I had to look up what “ tailgating “ meant in the US as here in the UK it means continuing to drive too close to the vehicle in front in a dangerous manner! So I was a bit non-plussed to think you were excitedly getting ready for a whole weekend of driving round annoying other drivers just for the fun of it! 😂😂😂😂 Had to laugh! Thanks for another great video❤xx
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 11 месяцев назад
Ooooh, oops! Yes, tailgating also has that same meaning here too. Could you imagine if we were excited to take this old RV around and just ride other people's bumpers all day - I can't imagine a more stressful way to spend the day, lol. So, technically it's called a Tailgate Party but people just say they're going tailgating before the game. Do people have parties in parking lots outside of sporting events over in the UK?

The coil should have two power wires one that powers the coil, while starting and 1 in the running position
@ronaldcooper7609
@ronaldcooper7609 11 месяцев назад
You are not getting 12V to the coil during start. The wire you ran from the starter relay to the positive on the coil should have given that. Using a multimeter, check voltage at coil during start. If the voltage is low, It is possible that the problem could be in the ignition switch.
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment! The wiring wasn't in great condition to begin with. That being said. That part of the harness appeared untouched. It seems like the second 12v wire would be there,just disconnected. I'm assuming that if I added a 12v wire that it would be direct from the battery? A faulty ignition switch wouldn't be out of the question. Thanks for watching !
@ronaldcooper7609
@ronaldcooper7609 11 месяцев назад
If you added a second wire directly from the battery, the ignition would be ON all the time. The first wire is putting reduced voltage through the ballast resister. The coil will burn out if it gets 12 V all the time. You need to get 12V only during start. As a patch you can wire a switch in the cab from a 12v source to the coil and only activate it during start. I had to do this on an old Toyota with bad wiring. @@retrorevivals
@timothybrisson6426
@timothybrisson6426 11 месяцев назад
As fars as the no start while the engine is cranking, there was a similar problem with GM 4.3 V^'s in Toyota forklifts. A poor ground between the battery, frame, and engine causes the voltage to drop at the coil below a voltage needed to operate the electronic ignition. When you release the key , the starter stops drawing power and the voltage jumps back up and then the primary side of the ignition has enough voltage. Easy test would be to put a voltmeter on the positive post of the coil while cranking. I believe ir should be 9.6v or more. Love your channel and love Michigan! (Lived there for my first 33 years).
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment! I've replaced a lot of the ignition wiring including the grounds. I'll have to dive into the wiring in my shop manual and do some more troubleshooting. I'll be sure and put a meter on it to check the voltage when cranking.

Recommendation; You probably have ann automatic choke on the carburator. Install a manual choke instead and you'll probably be able to start the vehicle easily every time. It's an old fix from it's time. It worked for me and a lot of others. Really enjoying your videos.

We kept the factory heatshield intact. We attempted to add some kilmat but it didn't adhere well to the existing stuff. The seal around the outer edge of the doghouse was a huge improvement. So far we're satisfied. The freshwater tank is in the RV and we have our grey water going directly into our black tank. It's under the camper and the exterior is insulated. Thanks for the comment 😁

So, people are used to cars nowadays rather than the vintage cars. "Start" is the starter, "Run" is letting the vehicle run. You don't want it to run on start, you'll burn up the starter like that. Having the key jump back to "Run" then Run like it should is completely normal. The starter and ignition switch are both working fine.

Thanks for the comment! We ended up replacing most of the suspect ignition parts and it improved somewhat but it still does what you described sometimes... maybe the carburetor or maybe totally normal!

Thanks so much!!! For the power supply, we were using a generator from Harbor Freight. If we're at a campground we'd plug into shore power. Right now, we don't have solar but it's something we'd like to explore! Just have to pinch some pennies for a bit :-)

Glad you had a successful trip in Harvey! I had to laugh when you broke out the STP engine honey! Growing up in the 70's, STP was very popular. We used to get STP stickers from the local auto parts store and put them on our bikes and everything you can imagine. I'm sure it helped many a engine slow oil burning amongst other things back then. Also, tell your kids they have some really cool parents!!

Harvey the RV is looking SOOO good!! Who would've ever guessed it would turn out so well from that poo covered gag sitch to this?? Just a little sad the foot bidet is gone though. Who doesn't enjoy a little foot bath after using the tinkler?? Did the vote on that funky chunky being better then fiddle faddle get edited out?? Anybody that thinks that stuff is better then fiddle faddle is just full of...well, fiddle faddle!! It's always fun to see a new Retro vid pop up!! Thanks for another fun vid showing Harvey's progress. Always looking forward to the next one to see what you two are up to.

Nope, nothing wrong with your vent. Take a smaller hose and run it directly into the tank line. I took a perfectly good RV water hose and cut off about a 14” section from the end. Connected it to the other water hose and ran the cut part down into the fill opening. Problem solved. I was having the same problem you were.

Check your local library for a repair manual for the van Harvey's built on -- wiring diagrams would be a help, and it'd hint at what might keep your oil pressure that low too.

Thanks for the comment! I do have a Haynes manual for Harvey. It has been put to good use 😉. Looking online has been very helpful as well. I'll keep looking at wires and checking voltages. I might try a mechanical gauge just to compare.

Your video`s are so much fun to watch, probably somewhat because I've had many of same things happen to me. So glad all went well on your trip. Seems like Harvey is getting healed from all his wounds and purring like a kitten. That's a good feeling I know from experience. Keep 'em coming, can't wait for the next episode.

Love your videos. You're definitely good without a cooktop vent, especially with that window right there and the fan blowing across. RVIA code doesn't even require a vent as long as there's a rooftop exhaust fan within so many feet of the cooktop, and you're just fine with that window there. Just as good as, if not better than, an exhaust fan.

I like the idea that you kept the original drivetrain in the RV it just feels I guess you could say alright I know some people upgrade things and all that but I figure if you're going to go that route and change everything that you might as well just buy newer RV I know in my area the 2000 and 2005 models you can get relatively cheap and I mean cheap your RV stands out it has that look when it goes down the road of a time in this country when families did things and went places and now most cases it doesn't happen everybody's on the phone in the same room texting at the same time looking at the phone and not talking so maybe that's why I like following this build that both of you are doing
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 11 месяцев назад
I like the simplicity of the original drivetrain. There are advantages of a more modern setup and at some point we might try to combine some this advancements. We also enjoy getting the kids involved. Sometimes it's a challenge with all the distractions that electronics provide. We'll keep working at it 😉.

I'm not as familiar with Ford or Chrysler - but older GM oil pumps had a slider pin in the pump that regulated the oil pressure - on engines that weren't maintained well - that pin would stick or not move well and cause low pressure at idle, etc. I believe it was accessible from the pan, perhaps a Chrysler person can chime in on that. I wouldn't run thicker oil for pressure - I'd run thinner oil for flow. you want it to get to the bearings - as long as it flows well and has some pressure it should make it there - too thick, and it's like a sludged up motor- and starves the bearings as well as takes too long to flow back to pan.
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 4 месяца назад
I'm not really familiar with Chrysler products but I'm learning more everyday 😁. Our 440 has an external oil pump. Which logic dictates that it should be easier to change and I should probably do that. As for the viscosity, you make a good point. I don't have valve train clatter or lifter noise thankfully. Maybe next oil change I'll try a different oil. Thanks for the comment 😁

You might have fixed this already but you need to make sure you get a constant 12V to coil while cranking. Check with multimeter. Could be ignition switch or you may need to change where your coil is getting it’s switched 12v from

Looks nice and bright with all the lights. My silverado with 230k would start ticking when it got hot and the oil pressure got low. I put in a high volume oil pump and now i have all the pressure😁. I did that a few years ago and its never dropped low enough to tick again and I don't baby it I drive like Ricky Bobby. It was a lot of work because my truck is 4x4. I had to drop the front diff to drop the pan and tear apart the whole front of the engine but it saved me from replacing the motor.
@retrorevivals
@retrorevivals 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment! I've considered dropping the oil pan to see what the bottom of the pan and pickup screen look like. I would probably go ahead and change the pump at that point. That would be a big project. I haven't heard any noises from the engine so I'll leave well enough alone for now.

First off, love the humor - go Temu pant and Fasion! lol. Being the son of a mechanic - it's frustrating to watch people shoot the parts cannon at issues without diagnosing the actual problem. no offense to you - because a lot of mechanics today - if you took it to a shop, would do the same thing. I'd have to refer to my expert on this one - as I'm not familiar myself - but, some simple deductive reasoning - and I would say it's likely your ignition switch. if it ran before - the coil was probably fine, as well as the relay. the resistor - I'd probably replace. definitely - the corrosion - cleaning it can't hurt. but I'm leaning toward ignition. curious - to keep watching and see if I was right. cheers guys! I have a 76 GMC motorhome - I have my own projects as well.
