Gen Set problem
I am wondering if anyone is having a similar problem with their Power Tech PTRV-8 Diesel Generator.
Two years ago the generator was making a lot of noise. I had it worked on under warranty and they indicated that the noise was coming from the Fan Guard which had loose bolts. About a week later the noise was back so I brought the coach back and they indicated that the Front Motor mounts were loose and the tech tightened them, noise went away.
Well the noise is back and I checked it out and found the noise is coming from the fan guard which the shaft of the fan is rubbing on the guard.
It appears that the fan has slipped down which is causing the problem. I spoke with the factory at Power Tech and they indicated that they did not think that this could happen as the motor mounts are what keeps this in place. They indicated that the generator would have to be removed from the coach as the sheet metal around the gen-set would have to be removed and something would have to be put under the mounts to raise it up to where it should be.
I asked if they could take care of the problem under warranty and I was told no.
WOW, any help would be appreciated,
