CC Prevost rock. Michael and Buddy jump in.

I shoot my hubs with a temp gun often and they are routinely 150-200 degrees when it is hot outside and the sun shining on them. I haven’t hit the diff but I will next week on our trip to Tiger Run. Going up and down that pass should put some work on everything. I don’t have a diff temp gauge but would love one.

No offense to any dealer or converter. Our answer is yes to both, especially since your near a Grand Prairie

Nice work on the coach! You do, however, need help in rotating pictures!

My first reaction is did the shop change or add transmission fluid. I mention that because the HT755 is very sensitive to overfilling. When cold the fluid level is easy to check. With the transmission cold, level, slow idle in neutral, remove the small plug on the (drivers?) side of the transmission pan. If fluid comes out, let it drain until it stops. If none comes out add some until it starts to come out. Like the differential plug that plug is the correct level for fluid.
As to the radiator….they don’t just quit working. If you recently under similar conditions were able to maintain lower temps you might have an issue with the cooling system but it just doesn’t seem likely the radiator has plugged that quickly. It could be a water pump impeller, or some restriction such as an old hose blocking flow. But if the temps have tracked the rapid rise in the outside temps don’t rule out the radiator. It could be in need of a new core, but corrosion over time could have caused the fins to disintegrate which ruins the ability of the radiator to reject heat.
There is one guarantee…….if you keep seeing high temps (175 to 185 would be the normal range, with up to 195 on a hard climb) I would urge you to find and correct the problem. Our engines turn into junk very quickly if overheated. I think DDEC will shut you down at 215 to 220, but that is dangerous and still puts the engine at risk.

First he picks on my about Metamucil, and then he is calling T&B George.
You in the squeezin’s Tom?

Dick, that is not uncommon.
After driving in the rain, drag the brakes some while getting to your parking pad. That will help dry out the drum brakes. My understanding of what happens is the moisture in the brakes will cause a little rust to form that has to break loose.
As said, moving in reverse (if you have the room to back up) seems a little easier to break them free. It is not a problem with axles having disc brakes.
The first time it happened to me in our previous coach, it scared the stuff out of me when it broke loose.

James is a fine man and his work has been reported often as being excellent. He not only does paint work, but will do collision repair work also.

On my H I discoverd that prevost installed a rubber flap in-line of the fuel fill hoses. Both of mine had turned upside down, so far I have corrected one. check the fuel fill line. best of luck, Matt

Yes, we would like to see it. No picture was attached.

If the check valve was reversed then you have or did have Prevost air filling your system.
When the bus was running air was exhausted out the intake filter of the AUX compressor. ….Interesting
