We’re in the process of updating the website, so once the updated site is finished and ready to go, we’ll address the reply. I’ve never used it, so didn’t realize it wasn’t working.

Sam…

Ebay has them for 14.99… free shipping… they are good solid plugs but you do have to shave off a little to make it fit right but it’s that way with all of them… very easy to do.

Here is the link…. don’t know why it isn’t highlighted ?? Maybe Tom or John can fix this link??

If you’re not on the list you didn’t do it, so go click on the link and sign up. I can’t add you manually. You weren’t on the list I posted 7/17 either Will, Carole needs to straighten you out.

If the Flexible guys are not PC members, have them sign up with Bob. Or, join PC and hit the button.

Do an internet search. Replacing them requires you to get beneath the coach and if you have a pickling fork you can easily separate the ball joint from the mating part.

You pushed the button Phil, you’re on the list and we’re glad your getting back on the road.

To all…. I’m not going to send the invoices until the 1st of August. It’s a PIA doing refunds, so by that time, hopefully everyone will be good with their registrations. So if you’re on the fence, try to let us know by that time.

Thanks Rudy

Charles,

Use the coach compressor as Truk wrote about. It’s clean dry air from your bus system. Everytime your compressor sneeze’s you have more then enough air to top off.. Just be careful you don’t machine gun the brake pedal lowering pressure to kick in engine compressor.

Just for info. I have two aged out 365 Michelins in the Houston area. Kept in the dark.

And definitely- check your pressures and do a visual inspection especially on the steer tires.

For example

I have had two of these defects show up on 365 steer tires in the last two years. Each time the tire was only a year old. Fortunately, this was on the outer side wall, so visible. Both times the defect looked like about a 4 inch separation. So far, the two different dealers ( Denver and Naples) both were to turn this into Michelin. First claim July 2016 and most recent April 2017. Have yet to hear any response from Michelin

Just for clarification- these are not the spares I

[Andre]

Maybe we need members who keep “spares” in different parts of the country to create a list. I have a spare 365 in Bonita Springs Fl. and in Windham, Maine. Both are now out of date but available to anyone who needs one in a pinch…. FREE

I will be back home this evening and will take measurements and photos of my set. They are 2X8 on edge with open spaces between to lessen weight. They are bolted together using all thread. Will add demensions and photos upon return.

All systems from Crestron to Allen Bradley are repairable and capable of being programmed….As stated the issue is being able to reverse engineer some of these systems….Much like the converters that are no longer in business and used some type of system to control the coach…Once you have done a lot of these with out the original code then the task is easier as you are familiar with the conversions and what things are that are being controlled. We have spent a lot of time and energy to be able to “take control” of any conversion out there….

The protection valves between the air tanks are OK.

The PR-2 valve next to the norgren air filter under the drivers seat is the issue.

I disconnected the blue line that feeds the ride height valves and connected shop air directly to the blue line. Turned key on with everything set for “ROAD” and bus came up to ride height. So all I did was bypass the PR-2.

Look on the picture, the open line coming from the PR-2 has no air coming out and the AUX air tank is at 90PSI.

The shop air line is connected to the blue line feeding 120PSI shop air.

The PR-2 will be in in the morning and I should be abale to get on the road by noon.

As of right now, it looks like Terry hit the nail on the head.

Thanks to everyone for you help. Will post results in the morning when the new PR-2 is installed.

The picture needs to be turned 90 deg right.

[Andre]

Andre,

Didn’t you tell me the rear does come to ride height?

Now I am confused because of so much conflicting information such as all gauges reading 120 which rules out a protection valve, air passing through the 3 solenoid valve down which rules out electrical or solenoid valve issues, and new Norgren valves in the rear.

My experience has been the same as Dicks. Our bus always looks a bit low in front when airing up after sitting. It’s up but doesn’t sit up nice proud until we start running. After its up it stays up. So now Jon can tell two people who know 1000x less than him what that’s all about. I wonder if Andres experiencing the same phenomenon and it will come up when he gets rolling. Please keep us posted.

Before doing anything contact Jeff at ETLC. He might be able to help.
