A motorcycle jack works great putting it back together.

Include us in the tally, Dan. Karen & I would be willing to help any way we can…just let us know.

Per,
Reread your comments in which you choose to refuse to acknowledge 2100 is the RPM limit for the engine. It is your comments that state that 2500 is the limit and as said previously you can drive your coach any way you want to, but we do not want relatively new owners to be mislead by your assertions.
The limit is 2100, and because we cannot fix stupid Allison has built in protections against overspeed something your proclaimed limit or 2500 clearly is.
You choose to cherry pick words and phrases that support your interpretation and while how you drive your coach is irrelevant we do not want our members to think anything other than 2100 is the engine RPM limit under load, which includes when the Jake is engaged.
This thread is closed because no more discussion is necessary.

If you identify the coach there is a good chance someone on the forum knows it and history.
This group is a wealth of information.

Believe it or not, the dust cap was not hard pressed inward as would be typical. It was outward at least 3/16″ which allowed easy removal.
Yet had that not been the case, a replacement was listed on the Prevost parts diagram and if I recall accurately, seems it was around $140

A call to Prevost parts will get you the part almost as quickly as you could find it locally. Had you ordered it yesterday it would be on your doorstep today if necessary.

Bushings are designed to fit the mount stud. It appears to me the rubber bushing is wrong size for application.

Most people that tow Honda’s for a long ways take a fuse out, not easy to get to so usually every 4 or 5 hours of towing I start and run engine for a few minutes or so to charge and lube trans, so instead of worrying about battery I did this, My friend said the Chevy SUV he tows said key has to be on 1 click so it’s a common problem, this solved his problem, As for me I think they call it Proactive, Fit it 1st before it has a problem.

The Winter Haven spot is a Volvo truck center and they only will supply parts. I believe you may have Winter HAVEN and Winter GARDEN mixed up. The Winter Garden site is a new Prevost Service Center with all the bells and whistles, except they don’t do 3 axle alignments in house.

My understanding is that Prevost OTR bus air is not available on 3 or 4 slide coaches due to the necessary duct work.

We’ve stayed at Pirateland, Lakewood and Ocean Lakes. Each one has their own character, but all are good and the sites are more than adequate for 45′ coaches. Lots of people also swear by nearby Myrtle Beach State Park, but I haven’t tried it…..yet.

History
When it was introduced in 1987, the Series 60 was the first heavy-duty diesel engine with fully integrated electronic controls.[2] Detroit Diesel prescribed overhaul intervals of 500,000 miles (800,000 km), then raised that to 750,000 miles (1,210,000 km) after more experience was gained with the new engine.[3]
In 1993, the 11.1 L (677 cu in) version was rated at 350 bhp (261 kW) (but would produce 15 more if the cruise control was engaged).
12.7L
The Series 60 was also available in 12.7 L (775 cu in) at the time, which was created by a longer stroke of 6.3 in (160 mm).[4] Both engine sizes were also used in truck and tractor-trailer applications.
In 1998, the 11.1-liter Detroit Diesel Series 60 was discontinued.[5] Once the 11.1-liter Series 60 was discontinued, the 12.7-liter Detroit Diesel Series 60 became the motorcoach application. Starting in the late 1990s, Neoplan made the Series 60 as an available engine for their high-floor and low-floor articulated buses – the AN460A and AN460LF. Detroit Diesel began making Series 60 marine engines in 1999, with wider availability starting in 2000.[6]
14L
In 2001 the bore and stroke increased and the engine displacement rose to 14 L (854 cu in), with an increase in power output to 575 hp (429 kW) and a torque increase to 1,850 lb⋅ft (2,508 N⋅m).
In 2004 the 14-Liter engine became the dominant platform in Freightliner over the road sleeper trucks and changed the ECM to a DDEC V. The 12.7L engine was favored in buses for its better fuel consumption.[5]
In 2007 the 12.7-liter Detroit Diesel Series 60 was discontinued. Once the 12.7-liter Series 60 was discontinued, the 14-liter Series 60 replaced it. By 2008, Detroit Diesel had produced one million Series 60 engines.[7]
In 2007 – 2010 (2008 -2011 trucks), the Detroit Diesel 14L engine was modified to meet new emissions standards and went to a dual ECM configuration (DDEC VI). This engine ran higher compression, higher injector pressure and a DPF exhaust filter. The block and crank remained the same as the older 2004-2006 engine models.
In 2011 the series 60 engine was discontinued and replaced by the DD15 engine.

My 04 Marathon was 12.7.

All electronic stuff runs on compressed smoke. If you let the smoke out it won’t run anymore.

Thanks guys. Anyone have an idea of part numbers – either haldex or Prevost’s ? I can probably go through Prevost’s to get confirmation. Will probably get the service guys to address while also replace brake chambers.
haven’t heard back from prevost but apparently it’s a 630085. Are there 3rd party valves one can use or is their a delay in this valve that you have to use the preview one ?
