For the driver’s side rear, is there just ONE 5-port Norgren & ONE 3-port Norgren?

Re “what to drain used oil into”: Yes, 10 gallons of diesel oil can get exciting quickly given the rate it comes out of the Detroit. I have one of those 15 gallon low profile wheeled oil drain containers with manual pump. I pump the used oil back into the containers and drop off at recycle center. Quick and no mess. Works well for differential and transmission oil change too.
Before that, I used a 30 gallon plastic concrete mixing pan about $30 from home depot. Now I use that for coolant changes.
In my pre-EPA cars, I run the same 15W-40 diesel oil because of the additional wear additives.

I recently researched and confirmed the same as Dick. Regular idle two minutes prior to engaging high idle.

Just yesterday, I had a recently retired Detroit Diesel/Allison Trans mechanic tell me two minutes on low idle, then up to high idle. He said don’t start the engine on high idle. This was for a Series 60.

Too bad. When you commit you commit and follow through. Hate to hear if the trouble you encountered.

Jim, How do you know all that stuff and why did you decide to research it? I know you well enough to know you have many interests and a little knowledge is your starting point to find the rest. Why the research on all that is Prevost Converters?

I do understand that there are many variables but they re guess better than mine

There are diodes in one of the side lights but none in other locations.
Which led was used for the conversion?
Did you leave the diodes in when converting to LED?

As coaches age, the care and maintenance they received throughout the years will become more important than who the original manufacturer was. Inside storage and frequent use are key. I like seeing an excel spreadsheet going back 5+ years that details maintenance and repairs but few owners bother to keep such a record.

Not unusual, I’ve had to do on some conversions as well.

Per,
We agree, RMR is a great facility and the owners could not be nicer or more accommodating . Have a great week.

Chuck,
I saw the same episode. I chalk it up to a narrator that is reading a script and doesn’t really know about the product. They also call a Prevost being built on several of the episodes a trailer. Newell’s website shows brand new models in the $2.1 to $2 million range. The 2014 Newell that was on the episode (no. 1487) is for sale on the Newell Coach website for $1.3 million.

You got it Charles, the phone app pin is not the fuel pin, good boy…

Hey Jon, thanks for the well written response. I guess the answer to your final question is that we must keep our skills sharp even know the majority of the time many of them aren’t required. I guess I better get out my road atlas once in a while.
BTW habits are hard to break…although we switched over to electronic tablets we continued to carry paper copy’s of approach plates for 10 years.
