You can do an extensive overhaul without moving the engine. I too had a cracked head and despite finding it when the first head was removed we went ahead and did an overhaul. Bearings, heads, rings, etc.
The extent of the work is going to be dependent on how long you intend to own the coach. I can tell you more money will remain in your pocket if you overhaul the engine.

can’t say for sure on new, but on a 2015 tahoe you can pull the fuse in the steering wheel lock circuit and steering wheel won’t lock no battery disconnect required

Chuck, the EFS card is a driver fuel card issued by the trucking company responsible for paying the fuel bill.
TSD Logistics is the company issuing and paying for our fuel purchases. Then you pay them back plus the 10% of savings fee.

Jon, is there a particular reader that you (possibly on Amazon?) would recommend for a Classic vs. the more electronically complex Elegant Lady model Liberty coach?

With a little over 2 weeks to go we are looking forward to escaping house arrest and changing the scenery.
Pandion Ridge and the entire Orange Beach area is a neat place to be. Although the pandemic has and will have an impact on us meaning masks and separation we are looking forward to some great food, shopping and seeing friends again.
Come one, come all. We can swap lies and enjoy a lot of bus talk.

One more thing. Don’t under estimate the vast amount of daylight the Prevost windows bring in. That’s one thing I did not like about the Super C. They all have small windows.

When the compressor try’s to kick on its jumps to 50 amps then shuts off, I replace the compressor and it does the same thing I also took all the capacitors off a working unit with the run relays and same thing could I be lucky enough to have bought a fault compressor?

One word of advice. Make sure and carry several gallons of coolant (either pre diluted or concentrate and distilled water) in your coach after final fill. Due to all the heater hoses, nook and crannies, air locks, you will need to top off coolant several times after your work as the air works itself out of the system. This is also a great time to replace your radiator cap if you haven’t done so. Nothing like new shiny parts on your engine!

Looks to me like that board has been wet at some time. I have seen boards with corrosion just like that one.

The integral stop pictured probably has a check valve that is stuck.

Jetpaq was phased out many years ago. You’ll have to switch to something like Grundfos or Headhunter Mach 5. You will likely have to change some fittings as well.

Thank you Tom, is the slippery road triggered by temperature or if the bus actually loses traction?

It looks like a 3/8″ hose and mine has reusable ends. I’ll be using Eaton/Weatherhead H06906 and I’m in the process of replacing several of mine. Most bigger hoses are 2.5″, 2.75″, and the ones on the transmission cooler is 3.12″. These hoses seem to be in short supply as I’ve had problems finding them in Houston for my business. I’ll give you a call.
