    I also just installed my rebuilt fan drive from Profan. Same great service that is talked about here. Did what they promised, when promised and paid once received at my house.

    I had to remove the outer duel wheel and loosen inner duel to get the shock off in center, lower eye on shock hits tire, took air out, still no way around it.

    I don’t know without looking but whatever it is it may be different than your. Whatever size belt you have now is available as a triplex or a matched set of three.

    Jon, I am ashamed of you. I thought you were the smart one in this group.

    It is simple … The shortage of toilet paper is because the Media is busy trying to SCARE the CRAP out of the populous.

    Jeff, I will add the great TP shortage once I have survived the calamity. But I did forget the Zika vikrus in 2016 and the MERS in 2015, so will have to add them.

    NTCS had a great program. But now their prices are the same as the Michelin Advantage. I understand that Michelin prevented them from selling at lower prices.

    I have just gone through this same issue, i had my fan assy and gearbox out, upon rebuild i checked the travel of my fan without belts in place, it can and will touch the radiator cross brace, i have fitted a mechanical stop to preventthis in the event of belt failure.

    One thing to check is the pedestal mount that the fan assy sits on, Prevost give a measurement from the base of the mount to side rail on the engine cradle, i think that it is around 90 mm ?

    The pedestal is adjustable towards the radiator and or engine, if the pedestal is not set correctly and is to far towards radiator you will have reduced Fan to radiator clearance

    But the principle is the same for the OTR compressor so what does your fan belt tensioner look like?

    I use CoPilot with a Garmin blue tooth GPS antenna (when needed). After paying the annual fee maps can be updated daily if you want. As noted in the earlier post, make sure you get the truck/RV settings.

    CoPilot works through the cellular system for location positioning. When out of cell coverage I connect to the Garmin blue tooth antenna. Very happy with the service after a yearlong usage.

    I just cannot see grease dragging a brake. The force it takes to drag a brake cannot be done with grease in my opinion.

    I can see an adjuster hanging up or a rust spot or something on the splines not releasing the brake after its applied.

    Just seeing the surface rust in the pictures?

    I don’t know, over 45,000.000 million miles on our trucks never had one drag because of grease.

    All of us suffer from NON Usage. No different than what my pop always said.

    You rest you rust.

    Later

    One of the hardest things to keep up with, and which can be a contributing factor not only in our coaches but also with the shore power pedestal is loose electrical connections.

    I have no clue how we can stay up to date on connections except to say if I am bored and have nothing to do I should spend some time cleaning and tightening connections on my bus.

    Over the years I have had several malfuncts (a highly technical term) that I could attribute to loose or corroded connections.

    Yes I see all the different ones and most say driver side or passenger side looking at the back they look the same. They look like XL handles not XL2 handles

    I ordered a Dorman a 1995 Freightliner passenger door handle $37 bucks looks just like XL handle, we will see.

    Dick,

    I had that happen on one of my XL’s, the relay got wet each time it rained in the steering bay and when corrected, no more problem.
