    Jon,

    How long were those ramps? Could you send me a picture? And yes I might steal your idea!!!

    If I put the picture on the original post it was an accident. I was not even into your original post.

    At one time we made steel ramps sold by Sporty’s that would support the entire bus. They were made of 3/16 tread plate and 11 Ga vertical sides. I still have 4. The slope is shallow enough my Z06 will go up them.

    For a slow-paced vacation trip hwy 20 through Oregon is wonderful except during winter months. But if you need to get to Eugene quickly, I’d take I84 to I5 and use the short-cut hwy 205 around Portland to avoid downtown traffic.

    November 1, 2015 at 1:03 pm in reply to: Marathon Aux Regulator Problem

    On our coach the tiny aux air compressor Marathon installed was wearing out even though it was only running once every few days. Symptoms were running much longer than usual and the insulation of the power lead wires was actually melting off. Clearly it was pulling many more amps than designed.

    I replaced the compressor with a 100% duty cycle Viair compressor. No problems since.

    I think just blocking the tube will result in the “Check Engine”
    light coming on and a derate. Some of y’all try it and let us know.

    Mikee I think you’ll find the Ugly Fix won’t work on DDEC V rel_3.xx up.

    Glens, parts ordering is by Vin# , usually the title from the converter is one year newer than the shell year and sometimes even more. Geo.

    Guys,

    I could be wrong but I just had some work done on my Geny Battery by Marathon and I am pretty sure in my case my geny battery is charged charged from the following places: Geny itself (while running), 190amp house Alternator and solar.

    I have an isolator that protects the geny battery from discharging as the house depleats. My issue was that the battery was located too far from the geny and there wasn’t enough AMPS to get it started so it was relocated to the Geny Bay.

    Question: this side strip is coming apart from the body…is this the delamination process starting or just aged adhesive needed to be replaced?

    Dick,

    You may have no tolls, but the trip through IL to visit your state will make folks appreciate the NE. Talk about beating your bus to death!

    So there is no confusion, the EGR coaches have the CAC next to the radiator, view the video.

    The non EGR coaches have a stacked CAC, it’s mounted on the outside of the radiator.
