    The LEDs are a blazing pure white. The light bar is intended to be placed on the top of an off road vehicle to provide sufficient light to see deer 5 miles away in the dark.

    In my previous coach I had two high intensity driving lights and they were sufficient in case someone needed to do micro-surgery in the engine area. The lighting now installed is like comparing a bottle rocket to a Saturn V moon rocket.

    TJ, Nice but, I suggest you read this article from the article section here on PC. Also, in addition to what the article says, it appears it needs the TVs, inverters, etc updated.

    The “R” in the VIN indicates it’s a 94 chassis

    Mikee,

    You have me confused. If you blow an air bag, and you do nothing to block off flow to that air bag the aux system goes to zero. Your brake system remains at the pressure of the protection valve. Once the brake systems reach that pressure, air passes the protection valve, but unless the flow to the burst air bag is stopped by using the level low control you cannot build accessory pressure unless the hole in the air bag is so small you retain aux or accessory system air.

    If you have the older type combo brake chambers and you rupture a diaphragm that brake will lock up and if the loss of air is great enough so will the others but that has nothing to do with accessory system air. It will impact your ability to retain brake system air pressure.

    I believe the Knorr Bremse use an O ring on a piston near as I can tell from a drawing and a catastrophic emergencyt brake pressure loss is less likely.

    On edit, a failed hose from the relay valve will act like a ruptured emergency brake diaphragm regardless of the type of brake chambers.

    We see it all the time…. The paint is beautiful, it has new TV’s and the interior is just great. The purchase is made without the slightest concern of anything below the floor. Then the next thing they hear is that big sucking sound that is their wallet being siphoned by necessary repairs and electrical issues.

    Welcome from the mountains, too. As a recent former owner of an 8V-92 equipped bus, we know your feelings. Ours was a 1992 era, 40 footer, with 500 horses, including a taller rear gearing of 3:58 which was optional. (Standard was 3.32) A strange chassis inclusion for a coach that was destined to live in Ft Worth with its first owner, then Indiana before us. Climbed the Colorado hills well, and just a few mph slower than our current Series 60 equipped 40’footer. Enjoy your ride!!

    My fan is working easily verified by the drop in coolant temp and with compressor on it always maintains that lower operating temp. When on high idle, the fan is locked on high.

    Peter,

    Just curious because you rely so heavily on your coach. How long has this taken, and how long would it have taken if paint work was involved?

    Not a bad idea Charles, but I don’t think that I have the time to hunt down contacts, try to get them on the phone, then explain the problem so that they understand and arrange followup. You game? 🙂

    Andy, Vonore is less than one degree South of Knoxville off highway 33, so we all understand how you could be mistaken on mat placement when looking at the map from the other side of the Pond. ;<)
