Colorado B.S. Thread

Any ideas why my ARB compressor would quit working? It started working intermittently about a month ago. Checked the pressure switch and that is not the problem. I can hear an internal switch clicking when giving and taking power away but no piston movement. I've tried tapping on it w/ a rubber mallet just incase it was stuck as the first time I noticed it wasn't working, it started when I dropped the hood. Electrical it seems to be all working. Tested w/ a meter and pulling the two wires off the pressure switch and contacting those together as prescribed in other thread. That's when you can hear the internal clicking. Can also hear it when manipulating the in cab switch when connected to the pressure switch. The locker is working as I was able to switch it on and off with the remaining air in the storage tank until it ran out. Hoping for a solution before I take it out and pull it apart, figure out what's wrong with it but can't put it back together because I broke something tearing it apart.




Or, ISO an ARB compressor for cheap.

 

Unplug the motor and with the switch on see if the motor/motors are getting power

 

Not sure I follow what you're describing. I'm slow sometimes.

 

Lol, ok. So if you look at the back of the twin there is a red and black wire that comes out of each end of the unit. There is a white plug on those wires. If you unplug both of them, turn the compressor on, and put a volt meeter to the red and black wires that go into the middle of the unit.

what your testing for is to see if both those plugs are getting 12v. This way we can narrow it down to the motors or a wiring issue.

I can get a pic of the plug/wires later tonight when I get back to my truck.

 

Playing with the idea of getting a topper to replace my current setup. Need to be able to mount a RTT to the top of it. Any recommendations as far as certain models go? And where to get them?

 

i got mine from AA toppers.

i went with snugtop rebel with the sportsman's package Reinforced roof and windoors. Was hard to find A used one for sale with windoors as I wanted more access To the back.

There are a lot more options now! I honestly wish I would have got vagabond camper shell with the tent built in. Would of been close to the same price in the end after shell tent roof rack Ect.. I added in.

 

Hellooooooooooooooooo Colorado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Couple of questions to all ya'll smart people

• Anyone installed a radon fan in the attic- if so any tips or type of fan you got?
• Anyone know a good/reasonable landscaper for sod and pavers?

 

FTFY

 

I am beginning to think you are a bot...

 

Radon fans are stupid

 

I'm a radon fan

 

• All those shitty fans are the same, and either way you still need to route the pipe from the basement slab up.

@Martyinco
4" PVC is already installed from slab up to the roof- for some reason builder doesn't put a fan in instead recommends to do testing of radon which appears to be the same as installing a fan. Home has a crawl space unsure if that matter to you all.

By the way...Marty you will only be 10mins away from me

 

I think the radon thing is a sham and a money grab, but you can have it tested, 100% it will come back that you need it, because thats how they make money...

Selling my house, moving to SD, too close for comfort

 

The Town of Parker found an additional way to profit off radon by requiring 2 permits. One for the radon install and a separate, mandatory one for the electrical. Every radon installer I got quotes from informed me that Parker was the only Town in the state to do such a thing. Awesome.

 

See?

There are places where people go to sit in radon caves for it's healing properties. Then we have an entire industry built around "mitigating" it so it doesn't kill you.
The world keeps getting dumber every day.

The real danger is dihydrogen monoxide.
If you want to keep your family safe @2016spicytaco you should look in to dihydrogen monoxide mitigation (or DHMO).
Here are some facts that should scare the crap out of you.

I wonder how Colorado ranks with Radon compare to other States....

 

I hope everyone is able to contain their excitement, but Im back!
