You know, my lady friend (and me at 63) would really like to take all the mirrors out of my coach. She swears she sees body parts in them that don’t belong to her.

Jeff, you are welcome. No thanks needed however because we should be thanking you and all the members because you all are the ones that make this site.
One thing I hope everyone realizes is that we are the “go-to” place for owner to owner and enthusiast to enthusiast exchange of information and ideas. The cost cannot be beat unless someone pays members to join.
We have some very capable folks that now participate on the forum ranging from Ray Davis who has created a “glass dash” to Al Herman who is getting to be the Marathon pneumatic expert, to Jim Lane who knows the ownership of more buses and bus history than anyone I know, to Bob who answered your question and who has built more buses than some have owned. My point is these folks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knowledge and we are adding more each day.
Your participation is valuable so don’t hold back. Even questions are important, and this is an example of why. Now we know where to get rivets at a much better price.
Welcome aboard.

If yours has a Meritor, maybe a call to the support line can give you that info. I am not sure about your situation, but in trucks we had a ton of ratios available to us in the same series of housings.

I was in the beta testing phase with Ray. A great application indeed. I have a 99 Country Coach XL that had the “Glass Dash” and of course it went out after about a year and a half of ownership. The CC digital dash will go out sooner or later leaving you with no alternitive but to buy the SilverLeaf Glass Dash or Ray’s app. I have both. There are some parts available for the old digital dash from Nick Hessler as well as him being able to make the repairs. I think Nick was one of the engineers for CC on this project. Ray had not started the process when my dash went out so I had to go for the SilverLeaf set up. Although I could have just bought there VMS PC version an run it on a laptop computer, I didn’t think this was the proper way for me to do it. I could not go down the highway staring at a black screen that was not functioning. If there is something in my coach that is supposed to work, it will work.
Regaurdless of which way you go, be assured that Ray’s system is a must have even if all your instrumentation is working. You will get gauges with instrumentation you don’t currently have or only have a warning light for which goes on after the fact, some times.
Congrats Ray, a wonderful app. Glad to have been a part of.
Thanks

When it comes to toilets and transmissions, when you gotta go, having things working is priceless.

Ray,
What are the iPad requirements. I might buy one for this! 🙂 If I understand this will work on my 1991 DDEC II 8V92?
-
I would move this up to Chassi section it will get more attention. On the 92 series I had a small 12 volt fuel pump.(auto zone) in line before fuel filter I used for such problems. Just left it in and used it for filter changes etc. Fuel flows thru it just fine when not powered up. Haven’t had any trouble with 60 series prime. Bob

A well deserved pat on the back to Ray, he’s been working on this a long time.
Anyway we can help via PC Ray, just let Jon and I know.

AAA will come out and fix it if you have AAA rv .. It is probly an easy fix if it still has 8lbs in it could be the valve core ,, I would just try to see if it would just blow back up than spray with some water and dish soap in a spray bottle to see if you can see the leak it could be gone if it was the valve core make sure you keep caps on them and be careful of extentions they are trouble. Some times you need to drive the good tire up on a 2×6 or something to lift the low tire so it may be able to seat well

There is only one sourse for those wonderful lights, LIBERTY they make them and they may sell them but you might want to be sitting down when you ask.
-
Me too. I have seen those and would love to install those.

If anyone has a Black & Decker used in the Liberty’s, I’ll purchase it, looking for a spare.

Joel,
The engine driven compressor is not unlike a car engine in that it has a piston going up and down to compress air and it’s internals are lubricated with engine oil.
As the comprerssor builds hours on it the rings begin to wear and allow oil to pass. As long as the dryer element doesn’t get its dessicant coated with oil quickly the passing of oil is tolerable. It is when so much oil passes the rings that the dryer dessicant gets coated so it no longer functions to dry the air before it gets serviced that you begin to have problems.
As Tom points out a bit of oil in the wet tank can be considered routine. You have a problem if you see oil covering the coach frame around the dryer purge valve outlet. That means the dryer element is so coated with oil that it is now being exhausted from the dryer. That could be because the element is long overdue for replacement, or if replaced regularly, it means the compressor is passing so much oil the dryer element can no longer work effectively.
I use a 2 year dryer element replacement (usually never more than 30,000 miles) interval and even though the 2 previous coaches had about 250,000 miles on them I never saw oil around the purge valve, and I would get maybe a tablespoon of oil from the wet tank along with some water. I got no moisture beyond a slight momentary mist on tanks downstream.
