ok, 2005 h3-45 got repaired no charge! I thought that was pretty good installed a new unit too! Coach Liberty. Do not know why I got it for free but am ok with that. Gary Carmichael, 2005 H3-45 Liberty. It was a simple job to change the filter must have gotten some trash in it? Unfortunatly due to a back problem I have to pay to have it done, but did watch the work being done. Five years ago I would have done the work in 30 min hell to get old!

I have never seen a prevost without a tag lift, BUT that does not mean that they may be out there. My 1998 XLV has a tag lift.

I guess or hope I am wrong about being ignored. Simple ? why did he just not lift tag axle and drive to tire shop. I realize I’m a simple do it your self converter. But I ask in a nice way earlier. Do the factory converters disable this feature or not include in their basic order from factory. I can see no more in parts than 2 valves and 2 lift cyl maybe $500. compared to 13 hrs on road. Both my coaches have that feature which is mainly intended for use when you get in slick conditions–also helps when you start to get hung uip off pavement. I often change tag tires by lifting tag. If you don’t have this option. A simple respectful response would have been. We don’t have that feature on our XXXXX Brand. My blow out in Macon was a sidewall failure. Changed my self–down time 45minutes. 65 yrs old bad back. Jack would not fit under front axle–so I drove it up on block of wood. It fit then. Willing and eager to share no charge$ Bob

My name is Bob: I’m a home builder! sounds like bus aholics AA. Don’t your factory conversions have tag axle lifts? After reading the Blow out article I take it the owner spent 13hrs on the side ofthe road because he did not. Probably less than $500 worth of parts–really not much to it. Thought that was part of standard coach. Do converters Block them out? Both of my coaches have them. Bob

Tom, Yes that is correct. You are trying to induce more current into the transformer. This will help make up for the lose due to resistance in the cable to the meter. It will take quite a few wraps depending how far off you are. If you are off close to half it is easier to wrap the primary wire once and then fine tune with the secondary.
Your other option is to buy a Liberty!
-
OK Lee, so I take the white secondary wire and pass it through the donut on the way to the meter, correct? That appears the way Johns is wired, but his has both wires running throught the donut by the looks of the picture.
Thanks…

I blew one on 75 at Macon 2 yrs ago. Just drove to side. Prevost is definitely the one front end that is built to handle a major blow out. Didn’t jerk wheel at all. Tire was 3 years old GoodYear. Bob

Karl – the TPMS was no help at all for this. The blowout was sudden and violent.

Did that TPMS help at all?

http://www.arcadiarally.com ck it out should be a little of every thing there from Gm to Factory Prevost. was about 150 there last year. It will have a live feed over the internet of seminars etc. Anyone intrested I can provide links. Bob

Year is important and coach model. Converter not so important.. Basic systems are the same. Will share what I know. Also at least first name. So I may address a response. I am no factory expert but have had 90 % of these coaches apart and managed to put them back together. Willing to share. No $ involved. It’s a hobby to me. I learn something new every day. Bob

One thing that is very helpful when posting about problems is adding a signature line in which the coach year and model is listed. Prevost has used a variety of dryers over the years and knowing the vintage coach helps folks who respond to be more specific in answers. Both the above answers were correct and while generic they are accurate in pointing out an air dryer is simple, serviceable and relatively cheap.

Take it this is fairly new coach. Air drier are not all that complicated. Air in from compressor out to wet tank and a control circuit from governor plus a heater. Local truck supply should have new unit in stock. Take it your at Sanford. Sounds like run around to me. You can buy unit off shelf for less than $200. fwiw Bob
Ps if they have put some more complicated unit on (doubt it) no more that 375.
