Hey Jon can you give me some instruction on installing XL windshield, Like I said 7 years ago I installed both windshields and rubber, I can’t remember the sequence, Where to start and finish, I’ve looked every where for a video Thanks’ Found my tools

You may look into the device used to flush AC lines. It’s an aluminum canister pressurized by shop air with an extension and a nozzle. You could fill with mineral spirits, fashion an nozzle to aim upward towards the sensors and cogs. Better yet, if you could unscrew the sensors, then squirt directly at the cog with the nozzle. I would drain the old fluid first, save it, and put it back in after the cleaning. Run it for a 100 miles or so, then drain, and refill with new.
Why? Use the old fluid to remove any traces of the mineral spirits that are left behind. You really don’t want to dilute the lubricant over the long run.

I found my pictures and they are not that clear but if you drain the fluid, put a cheap inspection camera up in there you can see what is going on. Amazon has them real cheap they are bluetooth to your phone. This is how i inspected inside the pumpkin, i am sure you will be able to see if it is the sensors.

Jon:
Wires plug in at about the 10 & 2 O’clock position (see attached pictures). I assume the sensor/magnet is n that general location.
As you noted; wouldn’t want to drive it with any cleaning solution in the differential. I am also concerned about damaging the seals even if not driven.
Flush/cleaning sounds like a good idea, just don’t know where to start, to many unknowns.

P.S. Mike:
I am ignoring you intentionally. LOL

Read my three edition series in Bus Conversion Magazine for step by step instructions on how to do this safely and correctly. Lots of misinformation out there so don’t wing it. There is way more to it than just changing batteries. You want to wind up with no possibility of the lead acid starting batteries in your engine and generator ever being able to be directly connected to your house lithium battery bank. And you want the new Li house bank to fully charge from shore power, the generator, the engine alternator and optionally solar with no user intervention. It can be done if you are careful and don’t take any short cuts.

The cost of high level maintenance depends heavily on if you do your own work or if you have a shop do all the work. Some items that have to be done such as air bags, brake chambers, tires, batteries, etc eventually have to be done and you can regulate the cost by your personal philosophy regarding their replacement.
You can set a projected life of those items and change them before they fail or wear out, or you can wait until there is an issue. I change my air bags every ten years, but I could wait until one of them starts leaking before changing them. That likely could cut my annual air bag cost in half.
Since I do my own repairs and maintenance for the most part I reduce my annual costs also by a fairly large amount. That is not why I do my own work because I consider caring for my coach as a hobby.
Keep in mind one thing: Whether it is a 45 foot sticks and staples or a 45 foot Prevost the systems are going to be similar. Diesel engine, air bag suspension, tires, batteries, etc so either choice maintained to the same level is going to have the same cost.
My Liberty coaches, and I assume coaches by other converters have robust house systems. The amount of money I spend to fix or maintain my house systems is an incredibly small amount because of the build quality and high quality materials and design.

I thought there was a version that functioned when you clicked on the different selections
