Wow. That’s not a good thing. Can’t believe she didn’t allow you to talk with the manager or did she and they dished you. Sounds like she, with no authority, let it die right there. Not good on prevost Houston’s part for sure. Left you hanging.

Happy New Year to all. I have been working under the bus intermittently the last few weeks, changing all sway bar and shock bushings, all brake chambers, front upper control arm bushings, ball joint boots, and more. When get a chance will post some of the more interesting aspects of those adventures and some pit falls to avoid should you too decide to venture where monsters lie.

While it is still up on the stands and wheels off I would like to replace some of the push in airline fittings at the Norgrens and elsewhere. To that end I would like to order some bulk box(es) of the DOT brass fittings I will need. Good idea, but I am Fredericksburg, TX for the holiday and the bus is in Oklahoma.

QUESTION:

Can someone please advise the fitting sizes and about how many I will need?

From what I recall from looking around under the bus most are 1/4 tube to 1/4 npt male straight fittings. I think there may some right angle ones in there. And am I right on the male pipe thread size at 1/4 inch? I don’t recall that any I noticed are 1/8 pipe, but with my trifocal vision maybe some or all of them were 1/8, especially since at the time I looked at them I was not thinking on the lines of ordering a replacement part. I think the tubing ends are all 1/4 except for the parking brake lines which were 1/2″ tube by 3/8 pipe?

Here is one prospect 1/4 tube x 1/4 pipe male on Amazon as a starting point, still searching for some bulk 50 piece or 100 piece deal.

Hey Jon,

RE: “When starting the engine, turn the ignition key “on”, but do not engage the starter.

Wait until the CEL and SEL have extinguished. Let the computers go through their self check procedure. Only after the CEL and SEL have gone out do I engage the starter. I never try to start the engine if either are lit.”

Does that apply to older coaches as well?
