Good concept.

Glad you found it. I had to replace my PS pump in an Angel Fire NM campground in 2019. That was a special experience.

There will be as many answers as members.
I use conventional oil, 5000 mile oil and filter changes because I have to get under the bus anyway to do a scheduled chassis lube. I use 5000 miles because It is easier to keep track of those intervals than 6250.

I know it was a month ago, a bit disappointed that Prevost just emailed it to me today. But there’s next year…

The seminar in which Prevost discussed the features of the tag axle lift was about 25 years ago. Some of the techs now working on these coaches weren’t born yet. Those that might have been working on the coaches back then probably forgot that feature.
When the tag axle is lifted the brakes are disabled and I presume at the time compromising the brake system was not frowned upon by the department of transportation, and tag axle brakes were only service brakes. I do not know why or when the change came about to allow the tags to remain lifted but it may have to do with the fact at some point Prevost started using combo brakes like on the drive axle.
As to any service on hubs and bearings and seals one, I have never seen a Prevost with grease lube instead of oil, and two, I have never serviced a hub or bearing without first using high temp grease on the bearing, and then refilling the hub reservoir, tipping an axle if needed to insure bearing grease or oil is in the hub. I know two Prevost owners that had hubs serviced and the shop doing the work failed to insure the bearings were greased and the reservoir was at the proper level and both coaches ended up with seized bearings and the axle end broken off within 4 miles. One was on the Tampa bay bridge.

This goes back a few years Jacksonville had a show and driver quote parked bus BUT never set parking brake you quessed it rolled into loading dock. Just because you can make it go forward doesn’t make you a driver.
