I thought about getting a Versa Valve like the one used to slide my stair cover in and out, but their catalog was pretty confusing. It probably would have been a bit spendy too, I think. I have Skinner solenoid valves all over the place on the bus, but they’re becoming a headache to source too. And usually $50-$100 each. So I thought I’d try using a couple of cheap 12vdc solenoids from Amazon. The reviews are surprisingly good, and it’s cheap to carry a handful as spares. If this works out, I may start going this way with my other Skinner valves. All-in cost is $40 for this setup. The biggest hassle was going to the hardware store for some M4 screws to mount the solenoids to the bracket that I fabricated out of a metal electrical box cover. I couldn’t get the exact length of screw that I needed, so I cut a couple of spacers out of some rubber. The screw holes on the solenoids are very shallow.

Al just my opinion but 3 major components in motor, block ,crankshaft, camshaft ,it might be best to look for another complete motor if all need replacement. If it wasn’t for bad luck I would have no luck at all.Seriously good luck.

We left TX last week full of fuel. We filled up twice along the way toward our Detroit, MI destination. Our last fill up (thanks TSD!) was in Indianapolis, IN. That should be a Winter diesel blend and we are hopeful that we don’t need to add any additive to the fuel. We could be here for a month or more.

Level the rear side to side first, then level front to back using the front air bags.

I agree! To get to the finish line we can all learn from each other. I used 29 gauge in 3 small panels and it warps up and moves around a lot. Can I buy 1 full sheet of 20 gauge that will cover 3 windows? I’m leaving the windows in to reduce outside noise. I will have to Rivet the metal, I plan on using that (Dum Dum) putty strip stuff they use on RV’s to seal it. Thanks!

I used this from Lowes. Made panels I can put in all windows and take out. Works Great!

There is a Prevost Service Bulletin, Instruction Sheet titled,
“REDUCTION OF HIGH SPEED VIBRATIONS ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DETROIT DIESEL SERIES 60 ENGINE”,
that appears to be applicable to your coach. Seems to suggest that maybe driveline angles might be causing the vibrations in some cases. Maybe take a look at it and see if it is something to consider or not.
