Once again, thank you.

RE: Rand Mcnally RVND 7710 User Manual Link
Two Hands...thank you very much for the link. That is precisely what I was hoping to find on the net. For some reasons, I found a quick start version which was not for the 7710. I should have stated this earlier, as I believe I confused 2oldman with my request. Sorry!
regards

RE: Ford F250 6.4 turbo diesel -owners feed back
Thanks ZEDD
I believe I found the fix to my problem. TSB 07-7-7 describes my problem and the fix. here is the TSB for all
take a look at this TSB:
Exhaust leak in engine compartment:
Some trucks may have an exhaust odor inside or exhaust smoke may be visible around the front. This could be caused by a leak at the turbo outlet from a misaligned downpipe. Verification requires disconnecting the turbo oil supply tubes (replace the banjo sealing washers, W302474) and removing the turbo heat shield to inspect. If the leak is at the turbo outlet, the downpipe will need to be repositioned to seal correctly, with a new downpipe to turbo gasket (7C3Z-6L612-B) and v-band clamp (7C3Z-5A231-AC), and new nuts for the downpipe to catalytic converter flange (W711407-S900). If properly installed, the downpipe will be 11/16" +/- 1/8" from the frame rail. TSB 07-7-7

Ford F250 6.4 turbo diesel -owners feed back
I bought my 2008 Ford turbo-diesel (6.4) three years ago. When the computer initiates a burn (pollution control) inside the catalytic converter, a strong exhaust odor comes inside the cab. Often times, I see exhaust smoke under the front fenders.
I have taken this truck to the Ford dealership 5 or 6 times, in order to have this situation resolved, to no avail. I wrote a complaint letter to the CEO Ford Canada addressing this very issue. A Ford rep spoke to a local Ford dealership, which says that this situation is normal for this vehicle. The dealership claims that when the burn is initiated, the catalytic converter becomes red hot, and will even let exhaust fumes escape under the front fenders. They add that when your fan is running the strong exhaust smell enters the cab, because the air intake for the heater is located close to the catalytic converter. They say that it cannot be fixed.
My question is directed to the 6.4 diesel Ford owners. Do you have this problem? Can this be fixed? Or do we have to live with this stinking situation?

RE: Air condition unit - icing up - problem solved
Thanks to all for your inputs. The problem is solved. Here is a summary of what I found.
a) I had several, old bees nests under the shroud;
b) Bees had migrated inside the evaporator's compartment and had formed additional nests. There was a lot of muck between the wall and the evaporator itself. That means that bees managed to get inside the sealed space by entering through the drain hole. With the muck in there, the drain hole was not very effective.
c) the freeze sensor which clips to the circulation tube at the bottom of the evaporator coil, had fallen off and was not doing its job.
After cleaning it all and fixing the freeze sensor to its proper place, the air conditioner started to work properly without icing up.
Thank you to all who offered advice. Special thanks to LarryJM who provided pics to ease my understanding of what had to be done.

RE: Air condition unit - icing up - problem solved
Here is something I just read concerning this problem.
This is a portion only of the text.
"
ost RV rooftop air conditioners have washable filters, which can be vacuumed or rinsed off in a sink to clean. If you are in summer weather where the air conditioner is running 24 hours a day, the filters should really be at least vacuumed once a week. Note that if the filters have been neglected, the evaporator coils probably need cleaning as well. These can be seen when you remove the air filters, and possibly the inside air box. Likewise, the condenser coils can be seen after removing the upper shroud. Note that some air conditioners draw air in from the back, and some blow air out the back. You will need to determine which your is, or just check both sides of the condenser.
An unavoidable drawback to being able to mount an air conditioner in a 14" by 14" roof vent cut out is that both the supply air and the return air are in very close proximity to each other. This can be a problem if the two are not sealed well from each other- if the cold supply air can recirculate into the return side, the evaporator coil can easily freeze up, plus that is cold air that is just going to waste. Note that this is normally more of a problem with ducted type air conditioners than the standard exposed air box type, but it is something that you need to be aware of, in all cases.A fairly easy way to check is to simply, carefully put your hand into the return air duct and feel for cold air. If you can feel cold air, you need to take care of the air leak."
What do you think?

RE: Air condition unit - icing up - problem solved
Air cleaner is clean. We tried both speed with the same result.
I don't know what an evaporator looks like! Therefore, it probably was not cleaned.
Can you send link to show what you are referring to.
Thanks

Air condition unit - icing up - problem solved
Hi,
I need some assistance with my 15000 BTU air condition unit, which ices up after 30 or 40 minutes of working, then stops sending cool air. If I turn the unit off for 10 minutes or so, and restart the unit, we hear some strange noises like ice breaking up, then it cools again until it ices up again.
This unit is about 10 years old. Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Must I replace the unit or is this repairable .
Thanks for your help
Rick
