Removing Windshield wipers
From page 8R-12 of the factory service manual REMOVAL (1) Unlatch and open the hood. (2) Lift the wiper arm far enough to raise the wiper blade off of the glass and permit the wiper arm latch plate to be pulled out to its holding position, then release the arm (Fig. 5). The wiper arm and blade will remain off the glass with the latch in this position. CAUTION: The use of a screwdriver or other prying tool to remove a wiper arm may distort it. This distortion could allow the arm to come off of the wiper pivot during wiper operation, regardless of how carefully it is reinstalled. (3) Using a slight rocking motion, remove the wiper arm pivot end from the wiper pivot

NEED HELP! Engine cold, but Coolant Temperature gauge Pegged with Error Codes
Yes @dripley right about the DBRIII being a dealer item but a good OBDII code reader with live data capability will work along with your volt ohm multimeter .

Morning Pic For Today...........Post A Pic around your place.....
NO, it can't be that. Haven't you been keeping up with current meteorological trends. It's climate change.

NEED HELP! Engine cold, but Coolant Temperature gauge Pegged with Error Codes
See if this helps. You don't have a DRBIII(R) , your multimeter (VMO) will work. Be careful not to distort the connector terminals when putting pins into them that's why they say to back probe them.

What the heck!
Thank you. It's nice to know there is a helping hand out there if needed. We will be heading north on I-35 then west on I-90 in Minnesota when we leave here.

Blown 40a Trailer Fuse
Drive around as much as you can with no trailer on and check the fuse regularly to see if it popped. I know it's a PIA but intermittent electrical problems are just that, a major PIA. You'll need to check the fuse before and after hooking up the trailer.

What the heck!
We'll be go right by your house some time around the end of the first or beginning of the second week in May. Right now we're in a beautiful state camp ground in Iowa and should be here for four nights. What a difference towing. With the RV 275 injectors and the manual boost controller there is more than enough power. No more need to floor board the skinny pedal to get on the freeway.

Blown 40a Trailer Fuse
You probably have an intermittent dead short to ground on that circuit for a fuse, especially 40 amp, to blow. Was the trailer connected to the truck when you replaced the battery on the trailer, If it was and the positive cable touched the frame of the trailer that would have done it.

Yes , "tool". Another typo.

What the heck!
Last Saturday night my wife and I started a five week camping trip in our fifth wheel trailer. Tuesday morning we pulled in to Capital Reef National Park, dropped the trailer and did some sight seeing. The road in the park is only about 10 miles and took us 8 hours to see the sights. The next morning we set of for Moab, Utah to see both Arches and Canyonland National Parks. We get to the camp grounds and as I'm unhooking the trailer the check engine light comes on. What the heck! With code reader in hand I find P0336 crankshaft position sensor signal. OK, I had replaced it about 50,000 miles ago and the truck just turned 102,000 miles so my be the life expectancy of that part is 50,000mi so call around and find on at O'Reilly's. Great, I have an account with them. I get it, drop the starter, install it. put everything back together and road test all while the wind is blowing and the temp is 44°F. Everything is great and the next two days are spent touring the National Parks. Friday morning and it's time to leave for Des Moines, IA. I find a water leak in the "basement" of the trailer. What the heck! Lucky for me it's just a drip and it has been collecting in an old dishpan. It's the cold water hose fitting for the out side shower which we never use. I empty the pan then Google RV parts and supply. A few come up in Grand Junction, CO. Great, we're going that way. A few hours later and we pull into Centennial RV. They had the part that I needed and in a few minutes the leak was stopped and we're on the road again. Friday night we pull into Wiggins, CO. and the left propane tank is empty so switch over to the right and every thing is nice. Wake up Saturday morn and it's 42°F in the trailer, 32°F and snowing outside, so turn on the heater. What the heck! NO HEAT. The light on the fridge saying it's not working either. I go out side and check the right gas bottle and it's full so it must be a bad gas regulator. Google RV parts and supply and one come up in Sterling, CO. Great we're going that way. We call Sterling RV Center and yes they have just what we need. One hour later we pull in and there is a new duel tank with auto switch over propane gas regulator waiting for us. I buy it and go down the road to the local Home Depot parking lot and install it. Yes we have heat, hot water, and the fridge is working again. Life is good once more and we're on the road again. Now we're in a truck stop for the night just outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. I wonder if we'll have another what the heck day. With four more weeks to go on this trip I'm sure there will be.

Air Conditioning
@dripleyis right about the evaporator having a tendency to leak, that's why it's a good idea to replace it when doing a heater core replacement. The front compressor seal is another place to look at for sure but I think you need a special to replace it. When replacing any component on a vehicle this old it's a good idea to replace all the O-rings in the system too. As for using a rebuilt or new compressor for a few dollars more I've all ways have gone with a new one. This may help https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/54_cab-interior/basic-air-condition-repair-r485/

Fire Extinguister recall
Congratulations! It's a grate place to visit for any occasion. I was there the end of last August through Labor day in September at Tunnel Mountain in Banff and Whistlers in Jasper. When I made my reservations in January the pickings were very slim. You have to keep trying, There may be a cancellation.

Fire Extinguister recall
I carry a lot of parts and tools with me but two things I know will get the job done, a AAA card with 200 mi. RV towing and a credit card. I'll be going through Banff Canada on my way to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

injectors
My truck with 4:10's gets 14-16 around town, 16-18 freeway and I am an old man. I just put in new RV275 injectors so we'll see if there is any improvement.

Borgeson steering box
Well yes and no. I helped talk him through a complete engine overhaul he was doing on a turbo Volvo. He had the steering gear still in its' shipping box. He said the people that owned the house before him left it when they moved out.

Fire Extinguister recall
I'm leaving on a 5 week camping trip this Sunday and don't have time to wait. I went to Home Depot and bought a 2 pack for $30 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kidde-1-A-10-B-C-Recreational-Fire-Extinguisher-2-Pack-21027416MTL/303196148

Injector swap
Great minds think alike.

Injector swap
I stalled a set of RV 275 a couple of weeks ago an followed these. There is no need to remove the exhaust rocker arm or the rear bolt for the injector hold down. I put the fuel lines on finger tight then tightened the injector hold down to 89 in-lb then I torqued the fuel lines at the injection pump and the cross over tubes to 28 ft-lb. When I adjusted the valves there were only 2 that were opened 1-2 thousandth of an inch more than specs. There were no tight valves.

manual boost controller
I took of the boost elbow off an reinstalled the original fitting. The manual waste gate adjuster is mounted to the battery tray with a cable/hose support clamp and a 6mm X 1.00- 40mm bolt and nut. That mounting point became freed up after I removed the #8 gauge ground wire that was attached there and moved it to the other battery. I order it 3/20 with standard shipping. The confirmation email said I could expect it April 7- May 9. I received it March 28, via air mail. The final, final installation.

Borgeson steering box
A friend of mine came across a brand new, in the box, Borgeson Model #800120 quick ratio steering box. Is it worth getting without the steering column or pump to go with it? Will it work with stock steering column and pump?
