Well , after a few crazy non genny days we are no longer in need of OTR . Sitting in Chattanooga waiting on a Vanner Eq for a battery issue .
Sitting in the back of the PU is the genny head off my old unit that needs to be installed on the running genny motor . If you ever need to separate the 2 give me a call and I will give you the wrench you need lol Now I need to decide whether to drive North to Jeff and be there for 6 days or so , or head south and work with the boys who started this whole project for me . Decisions , can’t wait till this chapter is closed . Then i need to deal with the guy who sold me a damaged unit . So far i will say he wants to make it write . We shall see .

Sounds like its plumbed backwards.

Somebody please explain why a pass is needed.
If its sole benefit is because it lets you to keep driving through a turnpike lane at toll booths without stopping, what does that cost, and if it is free is there any down side?

Bill:
Look up Swift trucking accidents on YouTube, they have a terrible safety record. Definitely wouldn’t want to drive between two of them.

What I described doesn’t work on the 2 strokes with the pressurized crankcase. Maybe that will clear some misunderstandings.
And there are some pretty nice air/oil separators available to plumb inline if one was concerned about the intercooler.

If by accent lights you mean side marker lights, this should help: bus marker lights
I replaced mine several years ago.

I would think kicking it would point to an electrical issue. You may want to plug and unplug the brain box connectors to see if that helps. Remove the head unit and check all wiring as well as the sensors on top.

I post this often, Don’t forget the tag brake interlock valve gets its pilot air from the Tag bag line. If that (R-12, I think) leaks the bus will lean to one side or the other depending on which one leaks (in your case the left side).
Mine still leaned even after new Norgrens and new air bags, until I changed this valve.

I really dislike giving my thoughts, about anything, but as long as no one comes back and gives me a bunch crap I’ll give ya couple of things to toss around, my experience, some time when ya had a seal replaced the axle may have been knocked over, happened on couple of my trucks. Then the drive shaft may be out of balance, there are balance rings you can put on to take care of that. Good luck

Plus, replaced all the air bags. She sits level for weeks.
happy new year

Find a reputable diesel engine shop preferably Kubota if yours is a Kubota.
Gasket,heads, and pistons are listed for sale. If block not damaged possible just hone and replace rings, new gasket and head refurbish. Engine should be as good as a new one. These things run for thousands of hours unless service issue affects them.
Main thing is to know how water level got so low.

Al:
I have had vibrations appear on brand new paved highways then on another stretch of newly paved highway I have had no vibration (or far less).
On the other hand I have been on ruff roads and had little to no vibration, then been on ruff roads and had vibration.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason. This is my biggest frustration.
