    Tom, Joe, Bryan: I’m using Internet Explorer 11.96xxxxx on a Windows 7 Home Premium machine.

    I can upload pictures to Outlook, Facebook, and a couple of other forums that are powered by vBulletin. I appreciate the tech guy translating the error message and then acknowledging what the error message was trying to tell us probably wasn’t the case. I don’t have server (my PC) locked down.

    Sounds like Google Chrome might be the answer to my problem?

    FYI

    I made our reservation for the rally and asked if we could get the discounted rate if we stayed a couple days longer to better explore the area.

    Good News – the discount price will be applied for up to 5 days (including the “official” rally days)

    Awhile back I asked Jon how many gigs he had and the answer was 2. I couldn’t quite figure that out and after some senior moments by both, I realized he was talking about East Tennessee frog gigs and I was trying to talk puter.

    Mouse trap!!! I’m glad the walls in my coach are not painted. Because after that light came out of the hole and the springs slapped my fingers the cussin fit I threw would have burned it right off! I got it fixed and back together.

    Thanks again

    Jeff,

    Connect up with the PC folks who will be or who are in the area. Not only to get help getting to different venues but to sit down over a lunch and discuss how people use their coaches and what features are important for their use of the coach.

    When we were contemplating the purchase of our first coach in 1990 there were relatively few owned privately as motor homes. But we were fortunate in meeting the late Don Hoffman who arranged for us to join him, his wife Margaret and a couple that owned a conversion. If we had any doubts they were erased. We got great insight into how buses could be used and what to look for in a coach. We got tips about things to avoid. We got information about who built coaches and who sold them. And we were able to get Don who did conversions (his sons and daughter continue doing conversions) to agree to inspect our coach when we bought it.

    Bottom line….we have a site full of very helpful people and if anyone needs in depth information it would be silly to pass up the opportunity to take advantage of our members skills and knowledge.

    I had four brand new Interstate bus batteries installed by Jeff Rowe in May 2014. In October I couldn’t get the bus started … just a partial turn of the starter. Tried to recharge the four batteries, couldn’t get much more than 20 volts on the dash.

    I pulled the batteries, took them to Interstate distributor. I was told my “problem” was unrelated to the batteries since they were new. However the distributor said they would charge the batteries, pull a load on them, and insure they were all OK.

    When I called a few days later the distributor told me that one of the batteries had FAILED and would be replaced under warranty at no cost to me. Reinstalled the batteries, hooked them up, and the big Detroit fired right up!

    Moral to the story … branch new batteries can fail!

    You know, I can’t remember exactly where we put the probe, but it was into an existing hole of some sort on mine. No welding and no existing probe. Make sure you leave enough slack in the ground wire to allow for full suspension travel…my installation (NOT done by myself) took 2 tries!

    Thanks everyone.

    Boy was it could at Toxaway Lake last night. Good move having my Webasto repaired!!

    I pulled the books and the Oil Temp guage in the upper left is tranny temp. I was actually watching that one during the trip. It normally sits at 200 and this trip was actually a little less.

    So that is 2 votes against (guage and Allison indicator) the speech processor.

    Liam,

    It could also be the CC voice synthesizer that is bad. Some of the dip sticks have a cold setting as well as hot. Best to check it when at operating temp. Your’s won’t have the oil level on the shift pad like the later ones. like Jon said, you should have a tranny temp gauge labeled oil. I’ve not had a bus without a tranny temp gauge.

    Haha I found it .. and the problem.

    The prevost manual references a bendix manual which had a picture of it. . turns out it was right in front .. i mean really right in front like at the edge next to the door. . (snake would have bit ya) Its mounted right where it gets hit with compressor oil and water when the valve gets purged. Cleaning that off seems to have made it much less beepy

    Thanks for the guidence on the location! Now as to why I can’t find that sensor in the diagrams ..
