I called Prevost (Fort Worth) and the guy didnt seem very confident about the paint codes or build sheet for that matter. He was going to get with the body shop guys and find out more then call me back.

Thank you Don, And yes, that’s what they replaced! I also noticed you have a plate above your battery bank and I’ve net seen that before? What’s the purpose of it, something above that could drop down on the posts?

I’m having some difficulty locating a puller for my compressor clutch. The compressor is a Diesel Kiki, as you can see in the photo the threaded portion for attaching a puller is 1″5 diameter. I’m not having any luck finding anything that large. I do have a Carrier Refrigeration in Omaha that I haven’t yet talked to, any other recommendations?

Diane…I see you also had an awning out while away from the coach on a windy night. I learned a lesson on our first major trip…yes, the hard way.
We were parked on the Atlantic Ocean at Beverly Beach, FL. I was out to dinner with an old college buddy when I got a frantic phone call from my wife during our extended happy hour. “The awnings are going crazy in the wind”. I explained how to close them by pushing the two awning buttons. All set…I thought. Nope.
When I got back I could see that the front curbside wasn’t fully closed. I played and played with it to no avail. The next morning I called Tradewinds and they said they’d take a look at it. I limped over and within an hour, Brian, Tyler, and Kyle had it all fixed. Scott also stopped by for enouragement. That was my introduction to Tradewinds. What a great staff.
Moral of the story…I always close my awnings whenever I’m away from the coach. That was actually a lesson I learned from Jon a few years ago if you want to search the old threads.

Funny you should say that. I was thinking the EXACT same thing. But first I think they have to rule out the tire dates, and it appears they have to remove them, unmount, and then remount with the date codes facing out.

Ditto on the new thread comment. Also, maybe just one general concept per thread, Harry? In addition to the main subject of engine controls, this one addresses fuel filters and polishing, tire age, engine paint color, garage height and rooftop antenae, ABS, as well as a number of minor topics somewhat related to the main one. Just about any search on the forum will ping this thread.

Brandon doesn’t have a shop. He is colocated with a shop that he uses and gets “typically”better rates at.

Sounds like “hunt and stap” diagnostics to me. Kinda reminds me of the commercial back in the day…..” I got my best man on it”.
Just funnin, really hope you get your bus back in short order and you wallet is stil heavy enough to help keep the bus on the ground.

same goes for Brandon at Legacy. He arranged the delivery to Prevost for the inspection. Was then able to get the work done at his shop more reasonably then Prevost. The inspection was $500 i think

That was about the time Roger Penske took over ownership of Detroit Diesel. Maybe he wanted to get rid of reminders of how Detroit Diesel was run when it bottomed out at 3% of the market while he was on his way up to 33% of the market in a few years.

On tow vehicles, Jeep’s can be towed without the need for special switches, disconnects, etc. Air Force One or B&G brake systems seem to work best… on my two Jeep the steering wheel stays “unlocked”.. straight forward and simple to tow.
good luck and a new coach is a learning curve with information overload, as we have all been there.. take a deep breath as will get better!!!

What the hell is a wheel tone ring? ABS related?
-
I worked on DDEC II a few months ago with the same issue. It turned out to be a bad oil pressure sensor. We also changed the water level sensor at that time . I doubt the wheel tone rings have anything to do with the Engine ECM.
Figurng out it was the oil pressure sensor ws tough. It tested okay but I replaced it and the issue went away.

Stopped at storage on the way from work to home today. The GFCI above the cooktop was indeed tripped. Pushed the reset button and all is well again, blinds work and the forward outlets are alive again.
Thanks again to all who offered help.
