I got POR-15 in my hair and on my skin a few years ago. I ended up using a scotch-brite pad to remove it from my hands, and it looked like I had bloody sponges at the end of each forearm. I don’t remember why it seemed so important to remove the paint, but my hands were tender for a couple of weeks. I hate gloves, hats and respirators, but I’ll wear them next time.

While we of course have an 8V92 engine and not a Series 60, when we replaced our radiator, thermostats and put in new OAT coolant, we saw a significant difference in temps. We rarely go over 190 unless pulling a very long and steep hill. Cool down/return to normal temp is very fast. Your results may vary. Good luck!

I took the day off work yesterday.
1. I pushed in the bushings for the front calipers and loaded the pads onto the calipers. Once my new rotors are in I can bolt caliper to the hub and install.
2. Mounted my brake lining to the shoes.
3. Removed my old batteries and then ran into the struggle bus. The battery bay had some surface rust, and i hate not doing something right. So I took out the wire wheel and removed as much rust as I could. The top part of the battery bay is now clean and ready for por15. The bottom will be done after the top part of the bay since I have to move the battery cables around.
4. My bus only had 3 batteries in it, it can take 4. So I ordered a 4th battery and will need to figure out how to wire that in.
This weekend my goal will be to finish the painting of my battery bay and painting of my chassis. I hope next weekend I can finish my brake install and battery install.

I am attempting to replace all the various hoses etc in the engine compartment. They’re only new once. Currently I’m is the process of tearing things apart so I can get to things.
I plan on changing the thermostats and changing from standard life coolant to OAT extended life coolant Detroit PowerCool Plus. This will require several flushes.
I have about 1K $ worth of hoses on order (so far).

Ditto what Rudy said. Used it for years on the entire bus.

Thx Chuck…
Did some checking last week, Marathon has a sub assy that will replace the current unit. Service / Parts dept were very helpful, thx.
I found the replacement at West Marine on Marco Island, only diff is the OD 3″ vs 2.75″.
Checked the site provided(thx) same part, $23.46 plus $15 shipping from them…I paid $50 to West Marine(convenience/no time to wait due to limited time at the coach)

If you are on shore power why would you need an inverter?

The 2 red flags are “maintained by Caterpillar” and “inspection would not help”. The first tells me that it is NOT a Prevost but rather a Vogue RV (not Prevost components). The 2nd is that anyone with a coach for sale should be more that willing to have someone else do an inspection at their own expense.

are you looking at a fiberglass vogue with a cat engine or a prevost vogue with a detroit series 60 engine?

Mine holds good in summer in the winter it looses air, but over a couple of weeks it may drop 40 or 50 lbs, Driving a 3 gauges hold firm, It use to be driving you could see aux gauge drop slowly then cycle back up, 100 to 120 cycle, but now it stays, So in the winter if it drops slowly OH Well I try not to stress over it. I know that air schematics well. Also the Double shuttle valve under the front if bad will leak all 3 gauges down.

I have the lights in the stainless steel part that covers the screws and one is burned out. So do you have to remove that SS part to replace the small sealed beam light? I am guessing it is a sealed beam. If anyone knows I will appreciate it.

On fuel to confirm most people have 2 different tanks, do you have to switch tanks or are they connected?

Bucerias is an interesting spot. Safe. But the journey from the USA is questionable. You would likely cross at Nogales. As far as Guaymas there are no problems and it is a 4 lane toll road. Some of it is new concrete. But from there on there is a lot of cartel activity. especially in Sinaloa. Unless there is construction your Prevost would do just fine, Mexican buses use that route all the time. These are not chicken busses. Some new Volvo. many other European fancy units. Culiacan to Mazatlan is a decent road. Again lots of cartels in these areas. I have not been much past that area for a few years. Lots of new roads. Hope this helps.
