There are at least 2 tags on the differential housing. The aft tag indicates gear ratio on our bus.

Ok that makes sense. Why is it so restricted in size compared to the line before and after it?
Also what is the other piece for?

Yes, Thank you for the input. Mine are all controlled Via the Country Coach ECM and are 12 VDC. These LED’s are dimmable and I have tested them to verify the Brightness by turning the dimmer up and down while they are connected.

Bill:
Had this happen twice to me. Both times it was the voltage regulator. Once it cools down it will work again until the heat shuts it down again. Each time it will fail a little sooner until it doesn’t work at all.
Let it cool down, suggest overnight. Remove the cover from the box that houses the relays, breakers, connections from gen, etc. Put a fan blowing air into that box (where the voltage regulator is). Start the gen and load it. I am willing to bet it will run for a prolong period of time because you are cooling down the voltage regulator.
As noted this happen twice, because the new voltage regulator overheated too. The second time I moved the voltage regulator outside of the box and mounted it below the box in the air flow of the incoming fresh air (CAUTION-If the voltage regulator is touched while the gen is running you could get one hell of a shock). If you choose to move the voltage regulator out in the open and other people work on your generator they could get shocked.

Voltage regulator in the picture is the small tan color box in the bottom right corner

No, it had Prevost dash air and the Country Coach (over-the-road) air for the rest of the bus. (Two compressors, two condensers, three evaporator coils). So, I eliminated the dash air compressor as well as the dash air condenser that was in front of the radiator. I eliminated the condenser for the Country Coach (over-the-road) air that was mounted above and behind the front axle (a hot location prone to road dirt and debris damage). I am using a larger version of that compressor that happens to mount in the same location as the Country Coach added compressor. That will run the entire system with the roof-mounted condensing unit.
By installing the condensing unit on the roof (only 7″ tall), that gets it away from the hot road and into a free air stream. It has two fans on it as well. It also gets that hot condenser out of the way of my radiator for better engine cooling.
The one downside is that the condenser is probably going to get leaves and dirt in it from above. The way it is designed, however, should allow for fairly simple maintenance. I am planning to make a cover for it for long term parking.
Hopefully it works!

Mark forgot you sold your Prevost and bought a Sprinter. probably would need help on the braking for the light car. Have a Blue Ox i inherited with this new RV that sits on the floor and attaches to brake pedal if you’d like to try that system. Don’t know a thing about um.

I have some pics of the 8V92 top side (and alternator) looking down from the open hatch. I’ll try to find them and post.

I was Told the Napa Dex/merc is the same oil as the Valvoline Dex/Merc. I run this in my transmission and power steering. Napa is easier to get than the Valvoline, anyone had experience with this?

the Freedom 458 has four protocols for charging one for LA, one for AGM and two for Gel cell batteries.

I was wondering if you could use a Vanner equalizer to supply 12v to your house needs nstead of the dc to dc reducers.

E6B always worked for me. It will get you where you want to go, providing one knows how to use it. I don’t thing any flight school teaches that tool. TOO OLD.

Why was the simple date box removed which made it real easy to see posts when members are off line for a few days ?
You do notice there is less traffic on PC forum ?
I’am trying to be helpful…maybe I’am just wasting my time ?
