    Pres, I just approved it as “Admin”.

    I got the email and it took less than 15 seconds from when I opened the email.

    I have no idea why your previous ones were not approved unless Tom and I were sequestered while we were counting dues money.

    Melissa has paid all of her fines and is current on her obligation for community service hours. Her probation officer has granted her request to travel to Alabama.

    We’ll be there. Please don’t mention the monitor affixed to her ankle.. It will embarras her.

    When you did the coach inspection did it work then. What does the seller tell you about why it won’t work?

    Dan, Call me at 7 one 3 8 one 8 3234.

    Taping control unit is probably a unit that needs replacing. If your tapping on the control unit mounted on the side of the burner resulted in tapping of the burner to start the motor means motor is stopping on a bad spot. Tapping restarts the motor and means the motor needs replacing.

    I am in the Houston area. I can drive part way toward El Paso if need be. If you come here I have a place to park you while we fix the burner.

    I had the same problem in Alaska, but is was stuck in fifth. As per Prevost costumer service, shut off engine for a few minutes and re start, work fine untill we arived in Anchoage. Replace the input and output sencors, has been running great. Any Allison shop can preform this repair.

    November 18, 2015 at 9:13 am in reply to: Seeking information on CAC hoses

    For those of you who have the wrong hoses on the hot side I can tell you it is not a super hard job to replace them, but it is also not the easiest job to do.

    The horn is easily removed from the turbo. Removing it allows you to move the hot side metal tube easily in any direct. With the horn removed from the turbo you can merely pull the horn from the hose and the hose from the metal tube. If you have had the hoses in place for a while it may be necessary to cut them with a utility knife lengthwise where they connect to the horn and tube and force them to release using a screw driver or other tool to break the bond.

    The lower CAC inlet hose is more of a challenge because to get access you need to remove the panel behind the tag axle wheel. It has a gazillion screws, metric of course, but once the panel has been removed you can see and access the lower tube. I am not going to tell you it will be easy, but at least you can get at it. If you are young, agile, skinny, and able to wiggle around you can leave the tag axle tire in place. Fat old guys who get cramps in their legs are going to want to pull the tag tire.

    If you removed the turbo end first you can move the tube around quite easy and removal of the hose and reassembly is not that bad. Of all the hoses that are part of the air intake system this lower “hot side” hose is the one I want to be red more than the other, and double clamped. It is the hardest one to get at so that is the hose I want to be the high temp, double clamped for sure.

    Several of us have changed our own CAC and dealt with replacing the hoses and it just requires some time, some twisting and reaching and only basic tools. If you do decide to tackle the job in addition to new hoses use new clamps also because you do not want to do this twice.

    I have owned 2 Marathons from 1996 to current. And I happen to believe when it comes to building a coach or supporting a coach they (Marathon) built they set the standard and everyone else follows.
