Hey Mark, actually thought about building a puller in the Redhead’s shop……problem is finding a replacement clutch, they are made out of unobtainium. Just got off the phone with CC, they replace the compressor with an updated version. Since we are going by Junction City after the Driggs gathering, I’m going to have them update the whole shebang.
Tell Gail, hiyal (sorry, that’s my best Texas drawl)

Just trying to tell the ladies and men with a need to be distracted there are other things going on in the area. Will not effect our plans at all. There is a new air musem that is scheuled to be open about then also. So as you see there is a variety that should intrest someone. or just come hang out with fellow bus owners. Bob

Are both sides drive wheels or only the drivers side? Tom I don’t know what you mean by a manual adjuster?Today is the first time I backed the coach. When I released the emergency brake and put it in reverse the coach didn’t move. I gave it a little gas and the coach lurched a little and sounded like maybe something released and started backing up. Maybe it was just the transmission, as I said it’s the first time I backed the bus.
I doubt the folks I rent the space from will be happy with the trench and I’m not happy it was my bus that did it! I’m looking for the time I can spend time in my bus without something being or going wrong!

Thanks for the update. I am still thinking about it. Keep us up to date if anything changes.

The Detroit Series 60 book for my 04 Monaco indicated 15,000 mile oil change intervals.

Will do. Went by this afternoon to get some paperwork out of coach (2 hours south) and looked like there was a new turbo on also are cleaned it up pretty good. . All mechanics were gone (5 pm) Will keep you all posted.

Well hell, had a big long nice reply done, hit post and it deleted……So I will paraphrase.
I have aboslutely no idea what I owe on my Eagle has to do with someone being honest about representation. I don’t even know how to answer that, so I won’t.
Jon, I am positive that if the side is dented in, wires are hanging all over the place, wood trim is missing or broken, windshields are broken, windows are fogged the seller knows it. I am NOT referring to mechanical issues, or maintenance records. It appears MOST don’t keep records, or sellers say they can’t get them. No I am talking about physical damage seen easily by the neckid eye that is not disclosed, OR worse told everything was in great shape…..You know, misrepresentation.
I have meet some dealers I have really thought were honest, nope just more smoke and mirrors.
To those with te simple answer to just sell my coach and start looking……I don’t have a house. My coach is my house, I am not going to live on the street and I am not going to et an apartment while I look. It appears most of you can just jetset around the country whenever or wherever you desire to look at busses. I can’t do that. I also can’t afford half million dollar rigs like alot on here. I know my budget does not get perfection, but it damn sure should buy some honesty, don’t ya think.
Anway, there is nothing wrong with what I have. I am happy with it and a bus is just a dream. They aint made of gold and I aint gonna go homeless in my quest.
There is the short answer.

On re-reading that I want to make sure that the part I should have made clear is that Jake’s brake test results also show no issues. When parked our coach brake chambers have no air going to them, so to verify they are not leaking a pre-trip brake test as he does is required to verify the entire system is leak free.

Harry: The amount of time it takes to safely pull the four chassis batteries out, take them to NAPA and have them LOAD TESTED is a good investment for you at this point. You need to rule “things” out. Ruling out a battery problem is important to do. If you have a battery problem and don’t determine that now you’ll be chasing your tail for weeks.
It it sounds like the starter is about ready to go in. If the bus fires up with the rebuilt starter, GREAT!!!!! Maybe you don’t need to pull the batteries, you’ll know when turn the key.
As as far as ETLC goes, Jeff Rowe can handle just about anything on your coach. Living 70 miles from Jeff’s shop, he should be your #1 go to guy. There are 100’s of Prevost owners on this website who are very envious of you living only 70 miles from Jeff’s shop. None of this is BS, it’s the solid gold truth.

Thanks Guys,
What’s the video modulator, the grey box below the black box computer?
I assume I should test with an RCA cord where the yellow composite is currently plugged into the computer.
I’ll be in Oregon for a build in August and planned on stopping by Marathon for a factory tour. May stay an extra day to get this resolved if I can’t figure it out.
If not, guess I’ll be dumping every couple days to avoid any overflow issues …

Nope … not visibly on my front TV. Checked that before.

Tony: Where did you find it? How much costed? What did you conclude about the dead 9 volt and loose wires? You’ve piqued lots of curiosity amongst the rank and file.

On our XLII I mounted the antenna behind the dash below the window shade switches. Easy to do. I mounted the repeater under the bed on the forward facing surface of the bed platform and plugged it in under the bed. I mounted the Pulse display with Velcro on the dash just below the DDEC display. So, all the goodies are inside and have worked flawlessly for a year. But, then again, I have slides and I’m not a ‘techie’.

I have some sections that work with the switch on the dash. And There is another switch in the entertainment bay that will bring on one or two more. The one in the bay says Neon Music / Neon. I guess they are tied into the outdoor stereo somehow ? I will have to test the transformers and their fuses. Might just end up replacing them with LED’s in the future. Classic Rock and Roll Baby !
Safe travels,
Rocky
