The grease last forever!!!!– the correct amount was applied.!!!!… Don’t ever do anything I say—- unless all else fails— then what ya got to loose??? I knew it would be jumped on hard hard …….. The perfect world does exist.. Does not visit me often…That is why I hate to mention any thing not political correct here. if it don’t slide it don’t seal or work—-simple bob says……..no matter how much care was was was intended by good meaning engineers.
? was your Norgren Dryer designed to handle the load of the aux air converter installed system?? for how many cycles? continious? I give up

[Bob]

The driver area has Prevost driver’s air and usually there is some house air vented into that area as well. At the very least I would consider providing some AC into the driver’s area if for no other reason than to provide a back up to the Prevost AC.

You may not do much driving in the day, but with the huge windshields we have now, driving south into the sun on a hot day can be brutal if the AC isn’t working right.

[Bob]

Tom, do you use the M&G on the Jeep as well?

[Bob]

Any chance of the wrong relay Rick?

[Bob]

Rick, If those Norgrens have signs of internal corrosion you can expect the rest of them in the system are showing the same thing. Those particular valves are the system exhaust valves for the left and right rear suspensions. For moisture to reach those valves it has to literally make the entire route from the aux air origin back to the air bags in the rear and then back out to the two solenoid operated valves.

[Bob]

Hang in their Gary. If slide issue is anything like my air situation on my old coach, have told 2 different Prevost facilities with open check book to fix leans. After numerous trips and valves, fittings, all air bags and who knows what else. It’s sitting in the bus barn outside like a dead fish after 2 days of sitting. Gonna take the folks on the PC forum’s advice and try to fix the problem myself. Just didn’t want to get my hands dirty. Wish you the best.

Dewey,

I’m sitting here trying to get a mental image of exactly how 12 to 15″ of misalignment of the tow bar can have anything to do with ground clearance. It is not the best thing in the world to do, towing a car with the tow bar pointing uphill or downhill that much, but I cannot understand how anyone can say that impacts ground clearance.

If a car has ground clearance sufficient to be driven on the highways, how will towing it change that? It won’t.

[Bob]

Gary I can’t even think of anything to say except hang in there. I would call PASS and tell them to find Robert for you so you know what to do next.

[Bob]

Well, They worked on the slide in Jacksonville, took a lot of stuff loose on the inside of the coach, mainly in the pantry, and worked the slide several times to see how it worked seem to work ok, left friday morning to go to Millenium got there at 11:00 AM put slide out, worked ok but slow, went to put the slide in and the same old thing, it stopped about 3/4″ from going in. After working the slide a couple times I got it to go in, I called Robert to tell him what was happening left message hope he calls soon so I will know what to do . You can not go any where if it does not deploy the pins. I hate the thought off driving back to Jacksonville, and I just drove 900 mile trip to take it to Nashville a couple weeks ago right after branson and it did not get fixed, The folks here say they can fix it, I just do not want to pay again to do this. This slide thing is wearing me a little thin, that and the fact that my wife is getting tired of staying at repair facilitys, and on top of that I noticed after I left Jville the cruise is not working, I need to get this thing fixed! Jusst waiting for a call Gary

[Bob]

What I remember about Indiana was learning…… must have a DOT number to fuel in the truck lanes. Sent me over to car side at $750 limit.

Enough to get out of Indiana. Back in the Country Coach Affinity days.

[Bob]

Last letter in vin and last 4 ## will tell you allot of info here— off the wall reason for this in that particular time year set.. Ck size of 60 serries—-sure 98 is conversion year—Mfg year of prevost shell?? Prob all great–looks beautiful!. Ck tire date codes. for old tires. look new could be 5 yrs old and on their way out. There is a list somewhere here on board or maybe someone knows bus personal. Bob

[Bob]

Thanks Jon.

I have 4″ .188 wall out my shop in west Texas. Thought I would make some that were adjustable with pins to raise or lower to any height. What is the overall height of your stands and with bus up to top of bags is it enough to slide under with creeper and work? Would love to have the jacks that prevost uses. Big bucks. I haven’t performed any work on my coach but fixing to start. I’m tired of taking to shop and having the same problem on the way home or after the fact. Have spent about big bucks at prevost and at 2 different prevost locations just on this air problem. Since cool weather has hit, down overnight again. Gave them a open checkbook to find and fix. No go. Do you ever use a air over hydraulic jack and what kind?

ps

If any of you folks want some stands just hollar and I will try and get some built for you.

[Bob]

with back surgery—- rehab—- love of the build—- realistic—–other hobbies—–1000hrs hands on. good estimate. mind on subject in thousands.. knowledge and rehab gained priceless!!!

[Bob]

Jim;;;; not really the pic is after blasting and surface rust has set in. the rubber bushings we not burned out.. I replaced all as a matter of a complete rehad. The fire was quick and responce blocks away… even all the plastic air lines were not melted. tires were holding air after fire and all but two came to my house on rear of coach. Tags were gone. Part of my decision to take chance… Tag bags were burned but driver bags in tact—go figure??? Good observation and questions I really thought !!!!!!
Not my bus at time of fire and was a pro built conversion that burned in front of the owners home. There are fire pic on this board some where Under busfires. Bob Side note This is my hobby!!!

[Bob]

Very interesting, can’t help wondering, did the heat from the fire modify the temper of the suspension/framing components, thus rendering them less strong?

This project is surely an example of “where there is a will, there is a way”

Gongratulations on your achievement.
