Hey All;
Went to check the batteries on the Stretch and found that the
chassis battery was at 12.8VDC and the coach batteries (2x6 volt
batteries) were sitting at 6.1VDC. I went and looked at the
Inteli-Power PD9140A, and the Charge-Wizard had no green light. There
was no noise (fan) and the unit was warm. I checked the input (even
ran an extension cord to power it up) and it was good. So, where is
the preferred locations to purchase either a new or rebuilt unit?
Amazon has them for $139.41 (Free Shipping) and eBay has them for
$135.99 ($10.90 shipping). Does anyone rebuild these things? Thanks...

Gene,
I am also unsure by what they mean "Valid serial number", but at a new price of 122.80 +sh it might be better to just get new if the repair price is too high.

Make sure to check the three DC-side fuses on the PD. Mine blew during a recent reverse-polarity event (don't ask) but they could blow for other reasons too.

Gary, if your transmission will not upshift, it is usually a vacuum
problem..Check the line to the Modulator from the manifold first. Then all
other vacuum lines and include the carb base.

Gary,
Was the transmission still shifting when the speedometer was not working? If they both failed at the same time then you have lost the gear on the bottom of the governor.

the first gear thing for me was the vacuum hose to the transmission that slipped off on the bottom passenger side of the trans tube.
It was put back but the shop i went to would not tell me what it was until he slipped and said something, i was to think he
rebuilt the trans or something. it was just a hose slipped off the tube and the vacuum was stopped from being attached to the trans.
It slipped off when i down shifted on the freeway to stop for a big truck in front of me that slammed on his brakes and the vacuum was
some how blown off the tube in the under side of the trans and then it was stuck in first. I drove it 10 miles to MGM in first and
was never told what it was. I had just had it rebuilt by Manny. I thought manny had screwed up. How wrong i was, and i was not told
what did it for a few weeks till a slip of the lips that it was the vacuum tube slipped off. I thought manny had screwed up - what a
mistake that was. Manny is the best in the west and i am sorry i was asking him what happened because i was put in the dark by the
shop. It would seem to me that a shop would tell you what happened and not that he fixed the transmission and saved manny.
i was put in the twilight zone for no reason at all. That was just one of the many problems i had. fini.
If you stick ini first, check the vacuum tube to the bottom of the transmission and see if it has slipped off the tube leading into the
trans on the passenger side bottom middle area.

I have had a Statpower TrueCharge 40+ since 1998 and have never had any issues with the unit. I just check my batteries today after not being checked for at least 8 months and the water level was only down about 3/8 of an inch. I used to service the batteries about every 5 or 6 months, but over the years have found that once a year works for me. I got 8 years out of my first set of batteries and changed them only because they started to show weakness and I was planning on some dry camping.

The simple answer is the batteries were over charged and boiled an excessive amount of the electrolyte away. Get rid of that Truecharge or do not leave it plugged it in when the coach is not in use.
