As a general rule, I consider this stuff ‘snake oil’ but I agree some are useful in limited cases. I have a very hard time believing any claim of increased mileage.
At one time, I owned a fairly new, low mileage 1999 GMC 2500 van equipped with the (?) 6.5 turbodiesel. Because of the seating position, it was easy to hear the engine. Somebody talked me into trying some Lucas fuel conditioner by giving me some free samples. The engine became so much quieter that my so thought the engine had stalled at a light! Been using it ever since in my Prevost’s. I put one quart in at each fillup.
Don’t have any scientific proof (I can still clearly hear the S60 idling!!) but I’ve never replaced an injector in 300,000 on my 8V92 and passing 240,000 on the S60.

Is that offer of free dues as a commission for referring advertisers to the PC Forum available to everyone? Or just a chosen few? Asking for two friends.

A quote feature would be nice. Most other forums I’m on have this feature, and it’s nice.

The bus listed for sale was ours. We traded it in on a Marathon, that is perfect for our family and future traveling plans.
We miss our bus, but it wasn’t able to meet our new need – two bunks. It was a fantastic coach for our 6 years of ownership, and will surely bring joy and safety to another family. Jeff did a wonderful job keeping it humming, and can be contracted to understand its maintenance history – ETLC is fantastic!!!
We are super excited to continue the Prevost adventure.

Contact Jeff, he’ll know….

I emailed you the “suspension virtual pdf”
Make sure the leveling switch(es) is functioning properly. Use a multimeter down at the five stack and or just above it at the buss bar where all the various colored wires attach.

So the pin we set when we got the card did not go into the system?

Back to the topic of Emergency Road Service…and using your own time and money to locate a tow service in the area you broke down.
I’ve had to be towed twice in the past 6 years. When I broke down, I was all in a tizzy…not because of the incident but because both times I was on busy highways…once during rush hour and the other time right past an entrance on ramp. Cars and trucks whizzing by and trying to squeeze over. It wasn’t fun.
I just wanted help then and there. Luckily, it was just a phone call to Coach Net and they were on it. In minutes I had a police car directing traffic that Coach Net sent. If I had to spend my time searching for the right towing company…well, I just won’t ever have to do that. I’ll have Coach Net forever I believe.

Tom, it’s a ‘69 I believe. After that, we bought Brockway 360’s & 361’s with Super 250 Cummins (927 CI) in them. We used to laugh that when the 318 that just passed us had to pull over with a blown turbo, we’d just drive on by. No turbos here!!. The guys that drove from down south back then used to call our fleet “ Yankee Macks”. We owned a fleet of 9…
Good eye!

I’ve followed this discussion from the begining . Took delivery 4/17 of 2006 H3-45 Marathon in Florida 60,000 miles on the clock . Drove it to Southern California , braking performance was poor. There were indications of less than full pad contact on all disc surfaces , light rust showing on perimeter faces of rotors. Putting the Coach in the air , pulling all 6 corners off, doing a midlife reset of the chassis . All 6 pairs of pads showed as much or worse degradation as any of the above pictures. Pads had 75% life remaining. Disc’s were flawless .Zero heat issues . I’ve owned & driven enough big truck miles , owned , driven & maintained 6 bus conversions over 45 years. This in my world is NOT heat related
Lack of use, high humidity regions , driving in wet conditions, may all be contributing to this.
This is a brake pad failure. Not a overheat failure.

Damn, 500 for a referral, how did I miss that. I would then give Jon 50% of the dues money.
