Just replace it with something modern. They are like 10-15 dollars.

I use them on the 2 compressors that run off the alternator or house batteries and it seems to help.

Come on Chuck, of all the work to do on a bus, you are going to avoid changing that seal? In the realm of Bus work, that is pretty high on the easy list.

These are electric “motors”. Don’t understand why the one locks perfectly but will not unlock.

WOW! Great work Mike!
Thanks!

Thanks Tom! But Dick first has to help himself.
We have a problem with our air step too. I presumed (notice I didn’t use “assumed” = ass U & me) my problem is with the air cylinder that moves the slide and I would have to get to the cylinder which is behind the pax side Cruise-Air machines. I confirmed with Bill at Liberty that the Cruise-Airs don’t have flexible connections and have to be properly isolated and removed to access the cylinder; which I currently don’t have the ability to do. For me its an ETLC project.
But the picture of that device has me thinking. I’ll investigate more. Maybe that’s where my problem is and the fix is much easier than I thought it would be.
I’ll be reporting back.

Over time I think we all get a certificate from the school of hard knocks.

Ok I will ask if they are open to compression fittings. Either way, after spending, a loot of money to get everything replaced, I expect the coach to hold air better than it did with the 26 year old air bags and valves.

Happy New Year, still looking.

Marshall:
I too have heard it’s bad on the IFS of our coaches, but lowering the coach also limits air space under your coach for the Cruiseair’s to breath/work. I can not tell from your signature picture but looks like you do not have roof airs so the cruise air issue would apply to you.

plus at a bout 11 MPH the tag goes down automatically.

I own a building that a bus company services about 40 buses most are Vanoll several have Hancock tires they have had good luck they just bough 25 Continental tires can’t get Mitchlens

Thanks for info. yes I would be far more concerned over an older bus with low miles.
It seems that most of what I am seeing in the 2000-2004 year range are in the 130-200K mile range. Understanding these are commercial grade machines I just wasn’t sure if 150-200K miles in that vintage would be of huge concern understanding there is far more than engine mileage in the equation.

Wow, Jon, I love how you moved the Liberty drawers down to the joey bed. They really are hard to see into up top. Excellent idea!

Had a 67 RS, 68 SS 350, and a 73 Z28. Along with them a 69 Mach 1 428 CJ and a 71 Mach 1 429 CJ, sure wish I had a crystal ball back then…………
