I can post pictures but can’t find the “LIKE” button. I would like to “LIKE” Dan and Judy’s post sounds like we missed a good time.

If your not satisfied w/SS, a friend of mine worked for Trailways Bus Co in San Antonio for 40 yrs and says the following is a good place. Ask for Dorsey.

Prevost coaches typically have 4 group 31 lead acid batteries, usually Delco 1150 or the equivalent Interstate, but some have had a pair of 8D AGM.

Also want to send thanks to Reagan and Betty for putting together such a fun rally. We totally enjoyed visiting with everyone! We’ve got to get those professional PC name tags like most had on.

Fred’s ramps came in handy as he was going around ‘renting’ them for only $145 a day for those of us wanting to do our own oil changes. Craig changed the oil while I watched. Helen and I made drinks, Fred was waxing the El Camino. :o) :o) :o)

Catherine’s Landing has a wonderful Pavilion for gatherings.

Safe travels,

Mark

Brett,

We are at Sam’s Town Boulder next to the main casino. We’re leaving the 23rd.

Yes the guy I bought the coach from ran the AC when the coach was parked and it was very cold. I also ran the over the road air for a third of the trip home until it froze me out. I had to call and ask him how to turn it off while I could still move? I was driving and it wasn’t a good time to be looking around.

Having a service company chase your leaks is the fastest way know to man to empty a wallet.

Tom, THAT is perfect condition ?????

It’s OK Buddy, he has a Marathon so he thinks that pile is considered perfect condition. Kinda looks like that pile you cleaned up at Jeff’s.

Your faithful servant,

That solenoid is what sends power to the starter solenoid. During your inspection was it discolored like that or did that happen when you tried to start the coach?

It looks like it got burned up internally and the heat generated was substantial. That would not be the cause of your starter not working, but it definitely will not allow the coach to start if it is not working. Those things were readily available at NAPA stores because they were used on so many of the older cars and light trucks. I think the coil is 24 volt so you might want to get some and carry spares of both 12 and 24 volt because there are a number of them on your coach.

Judging by the heat damage it would suggest to me to check the rest of the start or ignition circuit. You don’t need a starter, but you do need a tester to verify continuity and power at various points.

Those solenoids were not extremely reliable and on my first coach I had a number of them fail. Prevost would hand out replacements at rallies for free because they were less reliable than they should have been, but I never saw a failure like that.
