Whats your mpg?

John Said: “Prevost had refined it to the point that there are virtually no issues. It is the most economical Prevost to drive because of the 12.7L Series 60 that often got 8 mpg.”
What years does that statement include? That to me is really something and if you could elaborate on it a bit more id appreciate it?
Loc, I got a good laugh about hiding your own Easter Eggs… But how many times must you be told to boil them first?

towing/low boy insurance. I have AAA plus rv..limit 3 times a year. Also have Towing on My allstate Policy. Have never used either. In your case front wheel lift might be better because of no lift in front.. Jeff and Jon and others know more about that. My 98 was towed once 395 miles= 1700$
check your insurance fwiw bob

Doesn’t your engine have an electric Engine Block Heater? If so, just let the coach sit in the cold, it will be fine. Then, an hour or 2 before starting the bus as you get ready to leave you turn that on, warm up the anti-freeze and the coach will start right up. It sounds like you are doing the same thing with the Aqua-Hot but, as mentioned, you should not be doing this if you don’t plan to drive.

I found something interesting on this subject today. I am in between Meridian and Jackson, Mississippi and a little north of I-20 this week. I was in Flowood near Jackson and stopped in Puckett Machinery which is a CAT dealer and service center. I was talking to David Barron the Oil Lab Manager and learned a bunch from him. He is knowledgeable and a really nice guy.
They send about 100 samples each day overnight to a company that gets very detailed and reliable results. The customer goes to the parts counter and buys a kit for $16 plus tax. You take your sample and drop it in the mail postage pre-paid and it arrives in Flowood. He sends it in and emails results in a day or two.
Any CAT dealer can get access to the sample history for you if you need it and he said he would email past results where ever the customer wants them to go in case a repair shop needs to see them.
I already ordered and received a kit from Amsoil, but I will use these in the future when I can. I went ahead and purchased a couple for the future and gave him one sample yesterday so I could look at the information in a report first hand.

I recently heard of a 2010 with delam.

Green Deal. Yep I would like free health care, free college tuition, and free bus stuff. I like free stuff while you rich guys pay for it. I’ll send my address for the delivery of the checks. Heck, might spring for a new coach. The Sky’s the limit.

A turbo boost reading should be zero until power (RPM’s) increase. While 14 PSI might represent atmospheric pressure, no turbo boost gauge or reading I have ever seen starts at 14. Turbo boost is always measured as an increase from atmospheric pressure.
I should clarify. The “gauge” does not read 14. When you hook up the DDEC reader to the coach “that” reads 14 while the dash gauge reads 0.

Thank you Dan, so I do need to be a little concerned about the fuel. Pinch off pliers already ordered.

Terrific app, I’ve used it a number of times calling parts. I was amazed what they know about my 91 bus. And If they don’t know they’ll check further and call you back. Very impressive folks at Prevost.
By the way, they call Jon flip.

You can tap with your knuckle and hear the difference if the panel is loose. There is a distinct sound difference, hard to explain, but you’ll hear and feel the thunk when the panel is good. Getting a seller to OK long distance travel to a Prevost facility is probably not going to happen. Depends on distance….

FTBill,
I see in your description you are looking for a later model XL. Coloradobus just put theirs up and you could not find a better coach. It even has a new muffler. (sorry, Jim & Chris, I could not help myself.)

Depending on the age of the coach….The earlier H coaches did feel top heavy to me while driving…After IFS and current H coaches drive great…
