Resolved Radiator squeal

[Neal]

Picked up the coach from storage to take it in to get rear shocks replaced. When standing behind rear radiator I hear a squeal that I don't recall hearing before. Hope it's not a bushing bearing or something going south in the fan or something back there. Made it to the destination okay but will have to keep an "ear" on it.

It’s probably a lack of use protest.

Bad bearing=rough sound!
Bushing=squeal,but will quite down.
Belts needing adjustment? Maybe, do they use belts?

 

[sheridany]

Kidding aside Neal. Do you start your coach periodically when in storage. I do. Keeps everything in shape. Some say leave it alone and some say do it. I don’t know if there’s a real definitive answer.

 

[Neal]

Yes. Monthly.

 

[sheridany]

I would check all your belts first and then go drive it on a road test.

 

[jbh]

Belt. It'll be easier to change now than on the roadside

 

[NWIP]

With th age of your coach I would look at belt first unless you’ve changed recently

 

[DennisT]

Yeah, a squeal I would think belt first.

Thanks all. I called the shop this morning and asked them to take a listen when they pull it in to do the shocks.
