XL1 How often do you change gear lube in Steer and Tag wheel hubs?

I’ve never Sean Smart man post before?

I have always used Delo 400 15W40 motor oil, Now the oil is changing now it is Delo 400 15W40 Synthetic, Chervron say’s it does not hurt a older Series 60 engine it way better for the engine??? I have 147K miles on engine.

So far I still try to find #2 Diesel, It’s getting harder to find,I always use a little additive in my fuel. I read a thing from Detroit years about only using #2 diesel. Is there a problem running Biodiesel?

I have done some polishing on my bus,I bought some polishing wheels from Renegade Products they have a good selection on polishing wheels and polish, and good support,I think my old bus looks pretty good for a 97, Not perfect but pretty darn good

I put 4th battery back in back to 1120 amp hours, I’m going to let smart batteries be smart.

I’m installing a hardwired block heater setup, I installed a Square D , 15 amp breaker in the main fuse panel that does not invert, I wired a 12/3 stranded wire from breaker panel to engine compartment and will put a water tight metal box with a water tight cover, Then I bought a bluetooth heavy duty timer switch then from there plug into…

That was my thought,But those batteries have so much capacity,Most of the time only 2 or 3 batteries are being used the other is full and in standby, And it varies which battery or batteries are in standby

Beginning of year I replaced My house Batteries,It had four Lifetime 250 amp hour 8D size batteries, I replaced them with four 280 amp hour Li Time Lithium Iron (LifeP04) Batteries. I wired them with bus bars and same size new 4/0 cables. Not knowing much about Lithium batteries I picked four 280 amp hour 1120 total amp hour, before I had…

Thanks Guys my thoughts also😀

George I totally agree with you I have my Tire tracker from AZ sense 2012 on our Foretravel when I got the Royale I had to get 2 more sensors for the tag but my tow car also has sensors, Big thing don’t over tighten sensors. I would not be without my TPS. My dad had 2 buses in his day and carried the billy club under the seat, Because that’s…

In the Royale it has a 17.5 Powertech generator with a Marathon brush-less gen on it. It has been a tough last year and now in 25 we are back using the Bus again, Have not done any dry camping for a year and next month for my B-day we are going to Rincon for a few days, I test and exercise Gen-AC’s-Aqua Hot at least once a month, So I looked…

Way back before Prevost buses I wired a sears 2.5 hp compressor In my garage 220v 20 amp,My main panel was all the way on the far end of the house total 115 feet. We got a 1948 GM Silversides bus that my parents owned when they got their 1980 Liberty, We parked the old bus next to the garage with no power. That was around 1985. So I tapped…

Clint can you re post that post about the DN50 from the POG group??

I don’t use Facebook either.

If my DN 50 failed couldn’t you fix it, It also has a remote regulator so no regulator in my 12v DN50

I see that is similar to mine, Did you say you just have the DN50 24v and not another? Converters are all different.

The Royale uses the DN50 12v to charge the House batteries driving the DN50 stay’s around 14.1 to 14,2 volts even after driving for hours, some others on the forum do the same. I was told that most regular motor homes like my Foretravel or Manaco’s have 1 alternator that charges both sets of batteries House and Chassis batteries so it can’t…

Hey Jerry looking at drawing you have 6 House batteries and 2 chassis?? looks complicated they are all tied together?Is that a 24v coach?

Hey Jerry did you wire them same as your photo? My 97 Royale came with 5 8D batteries new and some where down the road it ended up with 4 Lifeline 8D batteries 255 amp hour total 1020 amp hours. Not knowing any better I put in 4 LiTime 280 amp hour batteries 1120 amp hours. Now I know 3 of those batteries would have plenty for my coach.…

Just got back from a 650 mile little trip and dry as a bone

Here is a up date on my change over to LiTime Lithium batteries. In December I pulled the old Lifeline AGM batteries out,There was four 8D 10 year old batteries in the bus,They were good for years but not holding a charge for long so time to go. I installed four LiTime 280 amp hour batteries, Charged them all to 100 percent Individually with…

I think I will keep this hose bought it from a hydraulic shop I just need to keep an eye on it for tightness

I’ve had some leakage from the power steering hose that comes from the Reservoir to the power steering pump, When I first got the bus the hose from Reservoir was a fairly hard hose with wire in it, the fitting on reservoir was not a barb fitting so it seeped out and made a mess, About 6 years ago I replaced the hose and the fitting at…

Did the oil leak repair new Detroit power steering gasket #23516100 and cleaned up all the mess it had been making, Looks much nicer

Yes I see you have 8V engine Thanks anyways for replying nobody responds much anymore.

What is the fiber drive coupler? At pump almost looks like a small O-Ring goes there and gasket, some one used a small amount of blue silicone look at picture

Hey Mike Is there a gasket that it could leak from where it bolts to Detroit? Look at picture, How could you see where yours was leaking from??

I use a Progressive Industries EMS with remote, I have it hard wired in before the ATS box, It has been in there for around 8 years. When I installed it I thought put it before ATS transfer switch, I like the remote because when it’s plugged in I can see volts and amps inside bus, But it does not protect bus from generator, It that a Thing???…

A couple of times sales people have tried to sell me…

I ended up using zip ties with the screw holes they worked thanks anyway

All the OEM tube lights around the windows and ceiling, Some of the tube lights around windows were coming loose and from out side with the tube light on they were not straight at all, It is hard to get in there with a screw driver to re connect them, some of the clear plastic holders were broken or have come loose and also the other owner…
