Thank you Buddy, the very same to you.

I was going to say something about all of this new technology and the auto correct features on phones, computers, etc. and it was the fault of auto correct that Jeff was labled the Crown Prince instead of the Clown Prince.

Then it hit me. I had better not do that, because my schedule does not put me at Jeffs for an ‘oil change’ until after the snot ball fest and people tell me he has a good memory. I would probably be hit with the remainder of that Gross of cups on my invoice after Davy only paid for 36 of them. Therefore, I ain’t gonna say it. As Jon, the Dog Catcher candidate says “If there is no photo, it did not happen.”

Happy Holidays to everyone. Eat your fill at Thankgiving, being especially thankful for Prevost Coaches and have a Very Merry Christmas.

Seriously Jeff, I want to thank you on behalf of all of the attendees of the Seminar for all of your hospitality and sharing of your knowledge. Kudos to you and all of your staff.

They gave me some too i got a new motor if you need it.

Mark and Gail,

I have not seen our tag come off of the ground yet, it just releases the air pressure.

While at Prevost Nashville (Goodlettsville), TN, I saw a couple of 2016 XLIII passenger coaches being serviced and their tags raised all the way up, off the ground.

I’ve let our coach idle while I was waiting for check-in and the tag never came off the ground. Not sure how much time it should take, but I’m thinking on our coaches, it’s not meant to be raised all the way.

Ronald,

The video worked fine on Youtube. Jeff didn’t miss a chew on his gum the whole time while lifting out the CAC!

Speaking of thread creep……..I prefer my two cylinder John Deere with electric start!

Dick,

We are approaching 2300 members. Tom and I are both aware there are folks who do nothing on their coach because they rely exclusively on the converter and Prevost. A significant number of those do not belong to PC. So of our 2300 members count the number of users that post. Then of those, based on their questions count how many will actually spin a wrench. Replacing a TV or getting a new hub cap to replace a lost one doesn’t count. I assume you are talking about those that will do at the least routine maintenance such as lube, oil change, etc.

Report back.

I think I know the answer and I doubt if you will get close to 5% of our total membership.

Tom,

Is there a way to make it open to those that don’t have a facebook account (to view at least, obviously posting requires a facebook account).

Thanks

A very high probability those year models are DDEC VI and they require a very complex reprogram
to stop the EGR. I’m not sure it’s possible to only stop the EGR on
DDEC VI because they have DPF and EGR is used to help control the DPF
temperature during the regen process.

The EGR process was
programmed not to work in high altitudes on DDEC IV and early DDEC V.
The Ugly fix works by tricking the altitude sensor into sending a false
high altitude reading to the ECM. In the later DDEC V’s the ECM
programming allows the EGR to function even in high altitudes. So the
Ugly fix doesn’t work for those. That’s why you will ocasonally see
someone who said the Ugly Fix didn’t make any difference. For the later
DDEC V’s it requires a programming change for the Ugly to work or a
programming change can be made to stop the EGR with no add on devices
(Ugly Fix).

You tell if it’s by the exhaust system. DDEC VI will have a diesel particulate filter (DPF) it looks like a big muffler with several sensors attached and as far as know the exhaust always exits through the roof on coaches. DDEC V and back has the eshaust exiting under the coach. Attached is a picture of a DPF on a “H” model

Legendary was in Coburg, OR just down the street from Marathon. They did about 30 coaches total, all XLII models if I remember correctly. I had coach #26 and it was pretty good. They used most of the same parts as the other converters do, and actually were ahead of the game in things like running CAT5 cables out to the tv sets so you could upgrade. This was a 2006 model year shell, and was titled as a 2008.

We bought ours new from a dealer in TX where it had been sitting for about 2 years. I put a little over 60,000 miles on it before we traded it in for our Liberty. I had no major house issues, other than replacement of the electric sewer valves, and the Headhunter water pump. I did get Prevost to do the rivet repair, and they covered the entire cost as we were the original owners, and the coach was less than 10 years old.

We liked it, and thought it had a nice layout. The main reason we traded was we wanted something a bit newer and with more room and closet / storage space. We also liked the 3rd slide that we have now.

I have talked to Roger many times, and he seems happy with it. I gave him all of the service history since it was new, so he had a good idea of what had been done.

Some of the ones for sale have basement a/c. I don’t know anything about them as we had 4 roof airs on our coach. Some other members here have had the basement units, and may be able to jump in and comment on them.

On my 98 Liberty, it’s all ‘up’ for road mode. Right switch down for auto level, and right switch center for manual level. When on the manual level mode, the three other switches are – down for down, center for up, and up for hold/off.

Does that help?

Thanks Peter and I certainly appreciate yours and Jon’s help. I will take your suggestions and check it in the morning.

Welcome Bob & Gerri,

My wife’s family own a farm in the middle of Kansas, and we most likely will roll thru NE at some point!

We are also in the hunt for a Prevost, so good luck in the months to come.
