Todd, I take it your bus has the solid front axle? I got a replacement from http://www.nimcobus.com/catalog/ the seal can be rebuilt if you have the tools. I...
Todd, One of my buses is a 1980 and it has a bad leak at the seal that is at the top of the steering box so looks like I'm due for some of the same magic fix....
hey guys when converting the underfloor bays, don't forget to insulate the flooring. there is a 1 1/2" space which is unusable (caused by the flooring...
I bought a seal kit from Mohawk. It's been a while, but I think it may be one of the things that you can order without having a part number. I remember...

HEY GUYS, I found out by a couple of bus guys that it would be better to take the box off and send it to a qaulified person to rebuild it then just reinstall....
"qualified person" ???? While not professionally trained in any kind of mechanics, I have seldom found anyone I would call a qualified person to work on...
Anyone bought or priced a Vanner Equalizer lately. I guess the 50A model are discontinued so the 60A is currently available. However at $600+ that is a tough...
About 8-10 years ago I bought 6 Vanners from Jimmy Diesel for $ 50.00 each. Maybe they still have some. Wulf ... From: cpeters1@... To:...

By the way, I have 2 vanners in my RTS and they to the job very well. I did the same to the Spaceliner and the Dina. Eagles don't need them, because it's all...

$600 seems to be the list price for a 60 amp. The discontinued 50 amp had a parasitic draw over time and you had to install disconnects (careful - certain...
Instead of buying an equalizer just buy a set of 12v house batteries and a 12v truck alternator to mount on the PTO drive. This way you won't be running down...
I noticed that my engine has a pulley that comes out of the left top side of the engine but goes no where? I noticed in other pictures of other years that the...
Either pulley is fine so you're good to go. It's attached to the camshaft on that side of the motor. Not sure of rpms of the PTO vs. the camshaft... </HTML>...
Actually my problem wasn't in the running down, but in the charging. I currently have one battery bank, two group 31's in series. I have my 500W inverter...
When you put in the Vanner did you disconnect the stock RTS 12V regulator? Seems to me it is not needed if you have a vanner. Thanks for the Jimmy Diesel...
Here is the number for Jimmy Diesel: 708-482-4500. My bus before the RTS was a Eagle. Just 3 31's at 12 volt do all the work. I added 6 more 12 volt deep-cycle...

You need to provide us with alot more information to take a guess at the problem. What year bus? What type of engine (MUI or DDEC)? What transmission (730 or...
to add to Chris' post, if it's the V731 computer (roughly 6 x 12 x 4 thick), there will be a couple other small electronic pieces close by. You need those as...
Terry indicated to me that he removed the apparatus panel. I want to verify that with him to direct him in the right direction. If so, he probably removed...
Erik and Carl, I have talked with Terry on the phone a couple of times today and we have what he needs if one off a 88 would work, we don't have any left ...
Larry, If I recall, your '88's were non-DDEC (strange, but obviously happened). Looking at my apparatus schematic, it doesn't look like anything trans-wise is...
yes our buses have the RPM lock out module in there... and yes that and the one starter solenoid is the only thing you would need out of there... to make it...
I also have an 83 with the manual shifter that I am contemplating parting out since have not been able to sell it. If you need parts for an 83 let me know.......
