Deadbolt or air lock Mark?

[Gerald]

you should be fine but some of the fancier fridges with lots of electronics sometimes don’t like the modified sine inverter output. Something to check before you buy

[Gerald]

Yes on the toads, you need the pass on them as well or you’ll get an invoice for pay by plate, at least I did.

[Gerald]

I don’t think so.
I’ve created profiles for the vehicles above, their license plates, and what they are might be towing and it’s my understanding the “system” takes care of it from there.

Thanks Buddy, I think I found a source if 3 are available.

Is Prevost the best place to get advice and counsel about the Detroit Diesel engine or Allison transmission?

DDEC III started in 1992. Coolant level sensor was most problematic. when coolant level is high enough the sensor completed the signal. When to low the switch showed open circuit ..simple test with jumper(paper clip) will show the positive result.as if the coolant level is above the switch. This is a emergency road test. low oil pressure.low coolant level, high engine temp (Coolant or oil) lot of problems are created by open grounds or just weak ones. Also it takes 11.6 V for ecm to even operate. The ECM has it’s own dedicated power source and direct ground to battery seperate of chassi ground. FWIW we have no idea what others of done to system as our coaches age..Don’t use tape on sensors if you replace any..= bad ground possible(happen to me) and sensor can’t complete it’s function of measuring resistance or simple open /close function.. Most of this info comes from hands on experience with DDEC Ecm.. Bob

I cannot answer your specific questions, but I can measure success. By success I mean an aux or accessory system never damaged by anything external.

I cannot remember if the aux compressor has a filter on the air intake. I presume it does, but as a practical matter this is not considered by me as a service item. Despite having easy access from my pit I still have to remove a gazillion screws holding a mesh screen just to be able to touch my aux compressor so in the real world if it has a air filter it will not be serviced or replaced in my life time.

The real killer is moisture. So my pneumatic system primary service is to maintain the air dryer. I am on a 2 year schedule for replacing the dryer element which on your coach like mine is probably a Haldex dryer with a cartridge replaced from below the chassis. Again, my pit makes access and replacement easy.

My pneumatic system is checked every 5000 miles by draining my 4 air tanks. I never get a drop of anything from any tank, just dry air. I bleed them down to zero pressure to insure they are bone dry.

The house aux compressor is not getting the benefit of a quality air dryer. As installed by Liberty the only component to trap and exhaust moisture was what I called a “spitter” and it was inadequate to say the least. So I replumbed my system to use a Norgren water trap as you describe. I do not believe that trap as installed on your coach does anything to remove moisture from the accessory system when pressurized by the aux compressor. That Norgren water trap was installed by Prevost and I do not think it protects your house pneumatics. I changed that, eliminating the spitter and the water trap is now my only line of defense against accessory system water from the aux compressor. It works and because of the length of air line plus the copper coil of air line at the aux compressor any moisture from the aux compressor is condensed and trapped. When we use the bus I drain that water trap often and as a result have never had moisture in the accessory system.

In an ideal world I would find and install a better and more sophisticated dryer downstream from the aux compressor, but so far my systems seems to be well protected so I am leaving it as is.

The fuel splash happens to me every time I fuel. 1998 XLV

[Gerald]

Hey George we have one also hanging down

[Gerald]

Don, et.al:

Do we have a list of all of the Norgrens on a Liberty Classic to include the one on the back wall of the compartment as well as those at the wheels? I’m about to do them all. Thanks for the numbers for the ones Liberty added on the plate next to the steering box. Got a terminal case of the leans and am tired of playing whack a mole.

Thanks

[Gerald]

I think you can drill them out I will be back in town in a few days let me know if you need more than brackets I think zip dee sent rivets I put new awning on this bus he hit a tree bough entire awning got win Dow and big awning have lots of pieces left will send to you free

[Gerald]

My question is does anyone know the name of the chemical additive that is refined into the fuel by the refinery in the Northern climates …. we have a F250 with a gas engine that acts up in cold weather climates and I believe the engine problem stems from the gas mix …

Thank you for your thoughts.

Jon,

Sheila and I plan to attend with the hope the new year will see better times.

All please stay safe. I now have four direct associates or friends gone from the virus. That statement seems surreal to me.

Should it have shut it self off when it got hot? Isn’t there a sensor for that?
