<p>Hiya Gang-</p>
<p>Kathy and I have replaced our Travco 32 with an old Dodge Landau 34.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We're in the process of getting the Travco gone. It's a roller... it has good windshields!</p>
<p>It's the '79 Foretravel model, all Walnut interior. On the M-600 chassis, six lug wheels. New-ish Loadflite trans, good 6.5kw Onan, good Rockwell 5:36 rear end.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Converted to GM style HEI ignition, and has a new Rochester QuadraJet on it with adapted Dodge linkage... Much better…</p>

<p>Converted to GM style HEI ignition, and has a new Rochester QuadraJet on it with adapted Dodge linkage... Much better fuel economy than with the old ThermoQuad.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The 440 suddenly lost compression in 3 cylinders last season, I unknowingly (stupid mistake) flooded the crankcase with gasoline, and then tried to start it... Blew the left valve cover clean off of it.</p>
<p>It needs a rebuild, but ran like a scalded dog for all the years we owned it before...</p>
<p></p>
<p>New-ish Bridgestones on the rear, junk tires on the front... </p>
<p>I need to get the coach off of the storage lot, we ain't rich and can't pay to store two motorhomes...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Does anyone need parts? Would anyone want a project Travco?</p>
<p></p>
<p>All offers on parts or the whole shootin' match will be seriously considered !!!</p>
<p>We just HATE having to get rid of it, so many memories! But alas, nobody here in our area was equipped or willing to do a rebuild for a decent price.</p>

While "dewinterizing" my Dodge Monaco, I was cranking the engine for starting. After a few sconds of cranking, I stopped. When I resumed my start attemp, I heard a click, but no starter engagement. There was a brief "electrical odor". On subsequent attemps, even attached a jumper vehicle, just a "click" and no starter engagement.<br />
<br />
Any theories or advice would be appreciated.

I'm still searching the world over for speedometer cables for 1978 Dodge Monaco with Cruise Control (two cables) if anyone should happen onto any in salvage yards. I have been completely unsuccessful in sourcing these, despite two years' searching.<br />
<br />
Main speedo cable about 110" and the cruise control cable about 30" Ends are Dodge MB400 chassis with Torqueflight 727 trans.<br />
<br />
Thanks to anyone providing info.

I have been searching for months for the two-piece speedometer cable for my 1978 Dodge Monaco (Dodge f40/MB400 chassis) but though I have had three separate cable sets that parts suppliers insisted were the right ones, none were.<br />
<br />
The problem seems to be in the Cruise Control equipped vehicles, where two cables, one about 26" long and the other about 108" long, are required. It is apparently easy to find cables for the non-cruise-control equipped models. I have now given up on the parts…

<br />
Does anyone have any constructive suggestions, or similar experiences that ended in finding the cables? It is difficult to believe that with so many Class C motorhomes built on the 1-ton chassis with the Dodge 440 and 727 transmission, it is so hard to find these parts.<br />

In my ongoing effort to replace a failed speedometer cable, I discovered that: 1. The cable sold me by NAPA is not the correct one, because my MH has Cruise Control, and the only cable listed by NAPA is for non-cruise control; 2. I also need the short cable that connects the Cruise Control Module to the transmission, and; 3. I cannot find these cables anywhere, from any normal parts source, NAPA, AutoZone, etc., etc.<br />

Hello my first post here. Well my first RV was a 1979 Dodge Chinook which turned out to need a lot of work which I got for $700 plus the $200 tow when it died on the way home, so it was became a $900 Chinook. Then my second purchase, a 24ft Pace Arrow which has much more potential than the Chinookie. I found the Arrow for $600. Popped a couple batteries and drove it away to the previous owners disapointment, until it died on the way home. I will be selling the Chinookie if anyone is interested,…

If you have the time and the space, this be a great RV to restore. All the panelling been pulled out and new panelling screwed in. So because of screws the panelling can easily be changed. Like I said this is a project RV for free. If you change your mind you can always sell it for scrap or part it out. The engine & tranny alone are worth taking it. </span><br/><br/><span>RV is in East Bremerton & I am in California.

My speedo cable has failed on my '78 Dodge Class C Caribou Monaco. My motorhome has cruise control. I was able to readily obtain a new cable from NAPA by the chassis specification, but now am wondering if it is the right one, as other here have expressed difficulty in finding the part. Also having trouble finding where the cable end fits into the trams/or CC module.<br />

Thanks in advance for any help!
