Have you tried to flash the codes? Engine off, ignition switch to run, flip the engine override switch and count the flashes/pauses. That will give you a series of 2-digit codes corresponding to DTC’s in the engine ECM. If it’s a trans code/problem, I think you have to use another procedure. If there are no codes, it should flash a 25 (2 flashes, pause, 5 flashes).

MemberOctober 27, 2018 at 4:26 pm in reply to: An Newbie Question on Reliability of SuspensionJump in – the water is fine. I was in a similar position 6 years ago. Never owned an RV before but lots of boat and plane experience and not afraid to tackle electrical or mechanical issues. Wanted to buy good quality older coach not knowing whether we’d enjoy it.
I bought a 99 Marathon with 152k miles. Good shape but not immaculate. No service records. The coach has never let me down in 6 years.
First year, I replaced the shocks ($800). Second year, Prevost Mira Loma replaced a king valve on the OTR A/C($2000). Third year I replaced the air bags and front suspension A arms ($5000) Prevost Richmond BC. Next year I plan on brake chambers. In addition, yearly fluid changes, greasing and two Transynd transmission fluid changes ($700). A muffler replacement ($600). Plus I replaced the front windshields myself ($320) and topped off the OTR A/C charge ($150).
Add a set of tires and that’s it. Not bad for an almost 20 year old coach. Our ’99 works so well that I’m having a hard time rationalizing upgrading to a newer Prevost.

The fans that run on the radiator will not run and yes, the display in is showing “o” . From what I understand, the fans run any time the generator is running. The breaker on the side of the generator was never thrown but I did check it.

We overnighted at the Columbus Ohio Cabelas a week ago and couldn’t have asked for a better location! 1650 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240. Had 2 seated coaches, 2 entertainers, and a 5er in the lot besides us. Seemed very safe, clean and quiet.

so it was a repeat of Davy’s problem just in a different place.
So, I was right? Look, I am as surprised as everyone else that I was right for a change.
Your welcome.

Hey Dick, Clearly you misunderstood the after survey data as they promised me the “MegaMillions and PowerBall winning numbers.”

MemberOctober 13, 2018 at 9:54 am in reply to: Justice Clarence Thomas was (is?) a Prevost guyHarry I wouldn’t care if anybody posted my pic. Then again I ain’t running from the Law. That being said, just left Brownwood Tx. and in the RV Park had a gent in a brand new Allegro Pusher ask question’s about our old coach and wanted to look inside. Sat down with Him and he asked a million questions, most about handling and wind shear passing other large vehicles. His apparently does the watusi when wind blasted.
PS,
I thought I was gonna have an uneventful trip with nothing to work on and no joy. Valve/regulator system on belt tensioner is a slightly leaking air out dump. Always something.

From your experience Tom, which set up do you prefer?
