Right after I sent the email to bdub a Missouri Trooper stopped to help us.
He called a local tow company for us since we were partialy blocking a lane.
The tow company figured out the problem.
The fuel filter was totally clogged next to the electric fuel pump which was also barely moving any fuel after they replaced the filter.
Also the battery was in poor shape which they replaced. (I had to use the boost switch to start the coach)
During the drive from their shop to the campground I noticed the voltage is showing 11 volts so I believe the alternator needs replacing too.

I looked at the parts interchange online and the Autozone alternator part number in the online version comes up as a starter not an alternator.
Does anyone have a good Autozone part number?
I searched Autozone for 77 Toranado alternator and I want to make sure.

And thanks bdub for the relay to the net.




Ok now I am puzzled. I got the replacement alternator in and when I start up the volt meter shows about 11 to 11.5 volts. Shouldn't I be reading 14 or so?
Could it be that the PO hooked the guage in such a manner that it is only reading 11 when everything is ok?
