Have had it out and back in. I just made a big
mental error; all on me when I figured final drive ratio. The hogs head
doesn’t just slide straight in. Requires a little tilt on final approach
then straight. Trying to make best of what could be a high dollar
mental mistake ON ME. Would be nice to just replace ring and pinion set.
I can do that myself and set up. Just need to know what will fit and if
prevost has parts. Actually I don’t know enough to ask parts guy on
phone a question even with my unit # because it looks like my diff has
been changed. W-6553 was shipped with a 4:56 ratio but mine doesn”t
match the case Id with the N and last # 7704 Went to Prevost car tech
pub first and CD then to rockwell. Still searching and have several
other guys searching also and have actually gotten far enough to ask
this question. Thanks Bob

Jeff,
Yes the aux and engine driven compressor supply air to the same tank and most do have a check valve. Keep in mind, there are differences in the various conversions, so your setup could be different then others.

I blew the dust off that switch and it has been working fine since then… Until today. Now those lights will not dim or turn off at any of the three switch locations. You think the relay has gone bad? How do I test it? I want to know as much as I can about the relay before I take everything out of the closet to get to it?
I suppose I could put another of the relays in its place and see if that solves it?

My coach vintage has a plaque rivited to the tow bar cross member and visable looking down behind the rear bumper and inside the engine doors. I would think all models would be similar.
I seem to remember a post indicating that there was a change by Prevost to the 20,000# hitch on the newer chasis, not sure on that, but seems to me.
Treat all coaches on an individual basis as a previous owner may indeed have changed the hitch to the 20,000#.
Have fun, be safe, don’t guess when it comes to safety. JIM

What do you mean by “auto tire checkers” something I do not know about?

Thanks for the source and the heads up on the voltage. I will check them out.

Good point Joel, if you’re using extended life coolant, you want a blank filter.

I’m not that old Jim. I remember delivering newspapers with a transistor radio in my shirt pocket. The radio in the Studebaker Lark was a tube radio.

Jon, They replaced ride height valves this last trip, also 4 new shocks. I don’t have the invoice in front of me of I could post the vavle part numbers. Actually the bus didn’t lean this fast before they started the ride height problem . It would go down but would take a week or 2 and would settle the same at all corners. I’m not at home and the wife called a day after I left for my shop and a day after I picked in up from Prevost and thought it was going to turn over. I told her it’s okay because it’s in the Hay Barn and it will just gentley fall on the hay. Think I will get them to replace all bags and go from there. I still have a welding shop out in West Texas will build ramps and stands and will start doing/checking my problems after this or at least to see what’s under there. Thanks for all the insight.

I really think there are vast improvments in the XL2 vs the XL and how well the cruiseairs work.
