the correct way to adjust automatic slack adjusters is to raise the wheel off the ground so it will spin. determine which slack adjuster you have,they vary from manufacture to manufacture, and get the appropriate tool. tighten the slack adjuster, the movement of the tool should be fairly smooth and easy if it is hard and clicks then you are going the wrong way. so tighten the slack until it stops and the brakes are in contact with the drum. make sure the wheel does not spin. now back the slack adjuster off, this is where it should be hard and clicking. back it off a quarter turn and see if the wheel spins freely with no drag. if it does not then back off the slack in small increments until the wheel spins freely with no drag. if you are having a problem with the brakes loosing adjustment then you need to have it inspected and find the root cause of the problem.this is for informational purposes only, i do not advise anyone who has not been trained in brake operation to perform this task, it should only be done by a ase certified mechanic.
Do you have disc or drum brakes? Do they only get hot when you use them, or do they get hot when just driving?

Would a200r4 be a good replacement or a 700r4 for a 1986 Chevy P30 motorhome with 454 engine and 400 turbo?
Honestly? I'd keep the Th400 and add a Gear Vendors OD unit to it. For the cost of that and driveshaft modifications, it'll still be cheaper than building up a 200R4 or 700R4 to the point of being able to withstand the torque of the 454, and you'll still have what is, in my opinion, a superior transmission to both of the R4s.Swapping in an electronic 4L80E into a mechanically controlled setup isn't the most feasible of options.
Where can you download wiring diagram for 1977 dodge coachmen motorhome?
the wiring diagram for the engine is the same for all one ton chassis of same year van and or truck. depending on your engine eBay sells an aftermarket hei. but beware, it doesn't fit under the dog house very well. biggest problems with dodges is the distributor oiling system gets clogged up with debri and wears out the bushings in the distributor. if you have any shaft play they that could be your main problem. if its just a wiring issue. then just run a hot lead to the ceramic resister block. that's your hot wire starting point. then to coil then into distributor then onto the spark controller on fire wall. 3 hole plug with only two wires. but if you have voltage in and out of the ciramic block. then go to the negative side of coil with test light and crank the motor. the light should flash on and off. if not. more then likely its the block on firewall or the shaft problem. if the shaft gets worn enough to touch the static pick up. it will fry the piece inside.

What is the difference between a class a and a class b motorhome?
In simplest terms, the Class A motorhome uses a single body with a flat nose - they're often built on bus chassis, while a Class B uses a second body which is attached to the cab, and the cab has a hood which extends out from the front. Even a Class 8 truck (such as the Freightliner Columbia or Volvo VNL series) which is made into an RV is still a Class B motorhome.
