Where would the Cruise Airs be mounted in a Liberty? Are they normally mounted in bays with this builder? In my old bus, they (3) are under my feet behind front bumper. Just curious.

Bill,
the temp rise during compression / jake brake use seems normal. They are called compression ignition engines for a reason. In the cylinder you’d see air temps of 450deg C just compressing the charge air 22:1 or so. The EGT gauge just sees an average after some decompression and will be lower.
A quick check to eliminate any air obstruction would be to put a gauge after the turbo and in the air inlet gallery (there should be an access plate with a nipple) and compare the two pressure readings at full load. There should be just a few psi difference as the air flows around the blower and through the aftercooler.

Easy to check for output. 30 seconds is long enough for the transfer switch to work so check for voltage at one of the bay outlets since those do not run through the inverter.
If there is voltage focus on the fan circuit or motor.

Cathy,
Thanks for the post, it took the heat off me for my bus comment.:)

Do you happen to have a heat exchanger in that area that is circulating engine coolant? Just a thought.
As for the LCD display, it’s not uncommon for these to fade when they get warm.

I’ve never started mine from the rear either. Good to know. Thanks Jon.

Gil,
I worked with Hero to make the back pin bulbs with extended pins, .98″ long. Here’s the link to what I ordered and they are 5.20 each.

Looks awesome John. Was gonna ask what it cost but if you’re driving one of the new ones I guess it’s redundant. LOL.

Gotta drive over to Enterprize Ala. to pick up a 1 Ton and wonder if it hit that far south? Stay safe Folks.

When I had my bus in Prevost Houston for wheel seal replacement they had bus up off floor on lifts and asked me to release parking brake knob. Pushed In and it started screaming at me. Said with motor shut down and brakes released would hollar until you pushed it back in. They had to replace a bearing race and had it in over night and wonder if they shut power down on switches in engine compartment. Mine doesn’t have all the gizmos newer ones do.

Thanks Peter.

I visited friends on Lake Texoma north of Dallas, TX. My friend assured me the power was good and I could connect to a 50 amp power pole. You know that little voice that tells you about something like….This is not passing the smell test ?
I decided to pass on the free plug in running our gen for 73 hours straight, 3 A/C daytime and 2 A/C night.
Our 20 KW never missed a beat. When thinking this over I remembered the entertainer buses with reported 10-15 K hours. Our gen has hit the amazing time of 691 hours now.
I have a long way the catch up.
