There is still snow on the ground. Not really a good test for normal/hotter air temperatures that people drive in.

Hello Ted, Great video and thanks for sharing. If you don't mind me asking where did you placed the light wiring plug and the brakeaway cable on your bumper. If you can share some pictures it will be much appreciated. Thanks again for sharing.

how would you say this conversion would be for a street car? I need a new booster but I feel this may be the better solution.

I see your fan is removed and there are electric fans, do you have a problem over heating on steep grades?

when my water heater is on it builds too much pressure in the lines. The water comes out in bursts at first when the faucets are opened. Would this resolve that?

I have the same problem with my ‘99 XL, oil in the compressed air. My air dryer is always heavy with oil and I change it yearly. After your video I’ll be changing my compressor right away. Prevost has a rebuilt compressor for $850 with core exchange. My question is , how do you clean all the exiting line of oil? Can that oil damage something if left in the lines? Thanks so much for your videos and Merry Christmas!

Thank you for making these videos. Very useful for those of us trying to understand how these complex machines work. Any idea what the expected life span is of that air compressor? mileage or age?

I have a 2002 XL2 with low mileage so I am pretty sure it's the original compressor. It has a symptom where sometimes when you start it up, none of the tanks air up at all. My mechanic told me to pump the brake a few times when this happens, and indeed, after I do that, the tanks start filling up. I don't really understand that at all. How do you detect that the air compressor is passing oil? Sorry if this is a basic question :)

Thanks for the video.

Great informative video Ted. Really appreciate you sharing. Have a wonderful CHRISTmas and a Happy Healthy New Year and as always Have Fun Stay Safe and Keep Making Memories

A Zip-Tie moment that David Freiburger would have been proud of! I like the use of differently colored zip ties to ID lines, I can use the that idea on the hydraulic lines on my New Holland tractor. Another great video, Ted!

Great video Ted. I have the same problem with my 12.7 Series 60 on my 2002 MCI. We took a 4700 mile trip around the country and when I popped the air drain, a bunch of nasty oily crud came out. Also, I seem to have developed some blowby that I heard can come from either the piston rings, the turbo or the air compressor. I'm hoping that it's the compressor so when I change it, I will kill two birds. I'm not usually that lucky though, and I really don't know how the compressor can cause blowby. Otherwise, the compressor works great, but it does look like the original unit which would have about 475k miles on it. I also appreciate the comments from your audience. They are helpful too.

Hi Ted, Thank you for all the helpful hints. Once again, another great video!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and a happy and safe New Year!!

me and a friend did this on my 2000 Prevost XL last year and since we knew we were getting rid of the 12v DN50 for good we removed the big alternator and the bracket which opened up a lot of room. We also partially drained the coolant from the block to a point below the coolant lines. To aide in getting the new air compressor positioned we welded a heavy eye bolt onto a plug that fit one of the threaded inlets on top of the compressor head. Then we used an engine hoist to lift the compressor into position. Having the alternator and bracket removed made this doable and made the repositioning of the compressor much much easier. On an XL this worked great, not sure you would the needed clearance on an XL2. We also removed the crank position sensor beforehand, replacing both sensors and then threading the wire back down after the compressor was reinstalled. We then installed the factory alternator bracket for the big DN50 but installed a much smaller air cooled Bosch with a custom bracket my buddy made that mates to the big heavy Detroit bracket. Removing the DN50 made sense for me since I have a 12v house system on the bus and don't try to run the rooftop airs with the inverters. The 12v DN50 is a liability in my opinion.

Another very informative video my man Ted! Been a while, and I'm glad to see a new video from you! Good thing you replaced that compressor - now the bus should air up no problem! Now, have you been doing any of my requested ASMR's with everything I asked you to do? If so, when will you start putting them up? I'm waiting anxiously for them - I want them up as soon as possible so I can enjoy them as I'm falling asleep! Please, please let me know ASAP.

My compressor on my series 60 has a relief valve that a genius put between the compressor and the engine block. Apparently you can turn the head around or somehow put that valve on the other side of the compressor. The new valve is a bit longer and wont fit between the block and the compressor so we re-installed the old one. Maybe its on the governor? Its been a couple of years since I looked at it. My other issue is the 2 speed clutch fan. I think I need to replace the sensor as I had to over ride it and run it continuously. Its very hard to get to it.

What the story on why you converted to E-Fans on what I believe is a Cummins 8.3?

The Hotwired controls start and stop exactly the same, just hold their power button till the shut off or turn on. Approximately 2 to 3 seconds will do it.

DANG IT... .I have to remove my front end.... its just a PLATE ON MY I BEAM ☹☹☹

Nice work

What size are the fog lights and where did u ordered them

They package the items that way, because the companies delivering packages have silverback gorillas for employees and they are sick and tired of paying for all the damage. Customer is being pissed off. I am not a fan of getting items damaged over and over.

Hey, thanks for the info as I am planning this for my bus and old ipad. Does this adapter give you EGT in the data stream or is this engine or manufacturer dependent? If not, how to get it? 2005 Fleetwood chassis with C7 Cat, 6 spd allison transmission and is a Fleetwood Discovery. Thanks.

Great job Will this worj on a 1993 series 60 ddec2 in a MCI bus

You didn't even show how you hooked it up. But thank you for sharing.

Can you help me? I changed the airbags in my RV because they were already damaged and I can't find the correct airbags. It is a 2002 XC chassis.

How did you take off the top cover? Were the two screw in the front and two at the top? Or the two at the front are not a screws

Love the videos. Do you work on other people 's coaches? I have a 2001 Prevost Country Coach.

sembra che questi scarichi inglesi non abbiano la certific omologazione,pertanto come mai arrivano in UE? come quelli cinesi. le dogane non li controllano?

I have the same cat RV set up. I'm thinking of a air to water intercooler... Also contemplating a side radiator & spinning it with a fan belt set up like a CORVAIR... I'm baffled on why they made the intake a 180 degree sharp bend to the manifold. doing a air to water would allow a nice design with clean air flow...

Ted, would you work on mine??

Clean once a year with degreaser and reroute/lengthen blow by tube

Nice information...thank you!👍

Did you swap the inverter or did it come with the magna 3000?

The area where the battery is also should have a drain. Do you know where that is?

Very helpful! Thanks 👍🏽

Hey Ted, I work on a converted prevost for a charity in the Ottawa area, would you happen to know the part number for the filters? I cannot find anything when I google the number in the prevost service manual!

That was so cool. MU-2 one of my favorite aircraft. Thank you for sharing. :)

Hi 👋🏻 and thank you for the video. I'm trying to learn how to get my RV (35000 pounds I believe) a bit higher off the ground. I got some wood put under 1 of tires and it wasn't enough. My RV is on a lopsided incline, so 1 end is sitting much higher than the other. I need to get it lifted, I'd say 2 feet off of the ground, so I can add more wood and try to level it out. Do you have any suggestions?

Whats the difference phbh 30 bs 2t and phbe 30 hs?

Did you replace it because it was vibrating?

This is an old video, so I don't know if you'll see it. But I'm buying an older MCI right now, and the rads are rotten. My plan was to toss the original rads, and install 2-4 large diesel radiators with electric fans. The fans you picked will actually fit pretty well for me, so I'll probably end up using 4 pairs of them. Your video has given me a nice confidence boost. Thanks.

Very informative Ted! I never knew all about this stuff - really interesting! Now, when are you going to start posting ASMR drives again? I haven't seen any in a long time, and I really want more ASMR's with that sweet exhaust sound! Please let me know ASAP.

Great video! I too am planning on separating the trans cooler from the engine cooling on my 3000 and have a question for you. How did you determine the output side from the transmission to the new oil cooler. Just thought I'd ask before crawling under the coach. Thank you! Side note: I have a buddy with an American Revolution that did have this trans cooler failure....uggg....I am so glad to have found your video as I didn't think to separate like you have shown.

lol not because your gonna die more

great vid

Do you remember if all 4 bags are the same front and rear

Love the videos. What happened to Ted?

Because of your vid I bought a Vibratech dampener. My series 60 vibrates so bad. I've checked king pins, replaced shocks twice, new tires with balancing, 3 axle alignment, rear suspension height adjustment and driveline checked for play in u-joints. NOTHING. So the dampener will be here tomorrow and I'm gonna install it Saturday. I'm also gonna use one of the old bolts as a guide like one of your commenters noted. I'll come back and tell how it works out. Thank.
