Ron,

Awesome Paint!!!…. We worked with Paul and team on the interior remodel of our previous coach a Newmar Dutchstar. They did an amazing job on the interior remodels as well. They were just finishing up a total remodel of a Prevost when we were dropping ours off. So we would second your recomendation of them as well!

Nice job AL , you can do mine next!! LOL…

Brian is it a leaking slide valve or cracked pipe that leaks? Do you have a thrid valve under the bus? I have a thrid valve and I will drain the black then flush the gray in to the black several time to clean it then run the rest of the gray out to clean the hose.

The other thing is if you have a clear section in the system it really helps knowing when you have a clean flush.

I was at that Palm Creek RV park in Casa Grande AZ and they required you to keep your hose off the ground, so I made a sloping board to support the hose. What a difference that made when it came time to disconnect.

Nope, all shows up fine here…OSx & Safari 7.2

Tom,

Thanks, what parts did that price include?

[Bill]

Tom,

Don`t know what to tell you. Bluesky was way less coverage and outrageuos in price. Miller was some better. I think I`ll stick with National.

I tried filling thru the opposite side with the slave pump and it did the same thing. You could actually see the foam come up the tube. May try tilting the coach next time .

Both of these instances occurred at Love’s. One in Tx and one in N.M.

Just filled the coach here at home (also at Love’s) and filled it full blast with no problem. (non biodiesel)

Thanks for the input.

my 91 Prevost take about 8 minutes to air up at fast idle(1100) and then only produces 95 lb. of pressure.

Will not go to 120psi until on the road at 1500 rpm.

Have no record of ever changing the dryer filter. Is this step one?

Is replacing the compressor governor step two?

Am I correct you can rebuild the top end without removing the compressor?

Any/all help appreciated.

Yes, definitely call Miller Insurance. Marlene and others know what a Prevost is, know who to direct you to for an appraisal for agreed value. We have a 1992, and Mark Koch thru Miller Insurance did a great job on our appraisal for re-upping our coverage with National Interstate.

Bill,

Two things….if in fact you are not getting all the air to the engine (you said low turbo boost) your engine may be running richer. I believe diesel engines run lean of peak EGT and as the mixture richens due to less air you approach peak EGT and that is driving the pyrometers up. What we don’t know because I have never seen it anywhere is if Detroit specifies an upper EGT limit. I have seen drivers say they limit theirs to XXXX, usually 1000 or less but nobody actually has ever shown that or any higher temp to be at or exceeding the limit. As a point of information there is an absolute limit on planes, usually the turbo inlet temperature because once temps reach the limit and beyond the expansion of the rotor from temps causes it to hit the case and damages it. EGTs are also limited but usually due to potential valve damage.

You have to understand you can run an internal combustion engine rich or lean of peak. If you are going to screw with fuel and air flows you need to understand where the engine is running because usually continued operation of any engine near or at peak is damaging to the engine and in some cases causes detonation. This is not a short topic to discuss or explain.

Trust me, if your Jake was functioning your EGT as shown on the pyros would definitely show an increase in temp above idle or no throttle temps. On my 87 I could see one or both banks register about 300 degrees when the Jake was finctioning for an extended period such as a long downhill. My pyros also showed my peak when I was driving it like I stole it of around 1100 degrees for each bank.

Tom, The set up for batteries, must be different on the H models, you have seen mine, the 8d batteries are on passenger side next to the engine, and the group 31s are in the next bay, which is a electical bay, and they have a cover over them I guess to keep gas that escapes from harming electrical fittings, it is not vented and gets hot, Liberty put Dekas in when I bought the coach 4 years ago in march, I also am changing out my batteries to Lifelines this year, the compartment that houses the group 31s definitely has no way to put a fan in to cool anything do you think this will come back to haunt me with the new batteries, so far I have not noticed any corrosion on the terminals but do put the red stuff on them, by the way my appointment has been changed to March 10th at Prevost J-ville, at which time the main room slide will be repaired and the wabasto, I will stop by on mywayhome mid April to have them install the new lifelines, I will call you as soon as they check the generator battery to see if its 31 or group 24, give me a call or e-mail me and let me know when they will be shipped to J-ville, Gary

[Bill]

Davy,

This is what they look like inside and I sure hope the coils aren’t your problem.

[Bill]

[Bill]

No that’s another team but just as nice , well let’s say nothing better than Bert And Ernie my favorite !!!!!

[Bill]

That’s what I am talking about nice bus Jon west of the Mississippi sweet
