What kind of car is a workhorse W22?
I am working on a 2002 Workhorse W22, 8.1. The owners were heading home to Wisconson in this rig they had purchased at a small “Mom and Pop” car lot in Ocala, Florida. They made it to our sister shop in Gainesville, Florida, and the rig went into ” reduced power” mode, with no throttle response.
Are there any problems with the Workhorse chassis?
Some chassis will have defects while others do not. Some Workhorse chassis owners have said that they have not had trouble with their brakes. This is said despite a recall that was done in 2006. But that does not mean that the Workhorse brakes did not have a problem.
When did workhorse change to the W series?
Then in 2005, Workhorse again made changes to their chassis and started the W series. This series used 2 digits to indicate how many thousands of pounds the chassis could tow safely. Another design change had Workhorse putting leaf springs on all four corners of the chassis.

Why does my workhorse lose power on inclines?
At first the motorhome ran like a champ quick response no hesitation we thought bravo–but no. A few weeks after it started hesitating on inclines with a loss of power–back to the dealer–no fault codes. The thought process was the catalytic converters needed to be replaced.
What should I do about my workhorse 8.1 engine?
It can get 180 degrees under where the fuel line is. Best fix is the Banks headers with single exhaust on the right side of the frame. That fixed all the problems on my 2006 Winnebago 38J Workhorse W24 8.1 and Allison 6 Speed transmission, 35,000 miles on coach.

How much torque does a workhorse grade 8 have?
Keith, Sorry for the delay in response. The torque for all the 3/4″ grade 8 bolts are 420 lb ft with dry threads, and 320 if the threads have anti-seize or other lubrication on the threads. I have a 2008 Workhorse 8.1 that seems to have the wrong ppm programed in the ECM.
