This is my new-to-me 1999 Chinook Concourse XL with the Ford Triton V10.
44,000 miles.
I got it from my uncle who passed away a few years ago. Aunt Jeanie thought she would use it but can't keep up the maintenance.
I only had a short time to really look at it when I was in Hood River, OR, and trusted my auntie....so I bought it. I was on a motorcycle ride up there so finished that trip up, flew up to Portland and got the Concourse.
Drove home, just a few issues other than my learning the ropes of bringing a stored RV online.
Fridge had been removed for a repair, they forgot a ground wire and it was tripping the GFI on AC. Fixed
2 bad fuses. Fixed.
it has the 'vents not working' issue, so I was working towards finding that problem
I live in Northern California, BTW. This Chinook was from CA originally.
Took the engine bay hatch off the inside, and saw this...
Passenger side rear intake manifold looks....strange.
I am a bit perturbed by this!
thanks for any explanations.
it has an aluminum air plenum under the intake manifold, photos on ebay show a plastic one.
