Dane, you will find that most of the participants in this group
are also on RV.net. When I started this group I simply put the
address behind my signature on RV.net and iRV2 and that has been the source
of most of our 65+ members.

The purpose of this group is to provide for questions that one
would like to address to an audience of Kodiak only owners.

What I find frustrating with your post is that Jayco hasn't
addressed these items since they've been reported regularly for the last few
years.

In my case, I'm not experienced some of these problems, but then
my Greyhawk was orphaned very quickly.

I have been wondering about the transmission temp gauge since it
never moves - but that was the same experience we had with the trans
temp gauge on our Ambassador. The theory in some parts is that the
TranSynd runs that cool. With our DP (Ambassador and o4 Journey
before it) whenever I tried to check the fluid level (which had to
be done from the shift pad) I got a message that the fluid wasn't hot
enough (even after hours of use).

I'm hoping to take my GH in for factory service in April and I'll
ask them to check the gauge at that time.

Welcome aboard.

There is another forum on the net at rvnet.com/forum that is also
very informative especially about the suspension. Jayco is adding
new heavier springs on my 08 seneca GS35 as we speak and next

will be adding koni's ( best shocks you can buy for a big heavy
unit), safety steer and a auxillary rear sway bar and from what I
am told this will take all the wondering and swaying out of the unit
plus the sag in the rear. Also will reduce the wear on the tires.

I have spoken to Jayco on these OSHA issues and they are going to
fix most of the issues on the new units but unfortunately that does
not solve current owner issues.

Has anyone found a source for better headlights as the standard
ones are also a safety issue for those of us who drive at night.

Also is anyone has an issue with the transmission guage not
working this is also a Jayco issue and they will either replace or repare
it

I think that you better wait and try to get the transmission "hot"
before you decide the gauge is bad. I thought mine was bad also at
first. Back during August, on a very hot and humid day, I took my
Greyhawk 32SS 8.1 to a local high school parking lot. I drove
around with the A/C on, windows down , in low gear real slow, then I would
stop and idle for 4 or 5 minutes with the transmission still in
gear. Finally, after doing this for 10 or 15 minutes I got the
gauge to get up above 200. I do not remember for sure the axact reading,
but I was pleased to see that it worked. I think between the
coolers, fan, and the synthetic fluid, it just takes a good bit to
get these transmissions hot. Again, this is just my opinion and my
experience. On the highway cruising it would hardly ever move off
the lowest reading.

If Scangauge ever gets the codes for the Allison figured out and
post them on their site, we will be able to compare that with the gauge.
