Hey Grant, I spent a solid month re-wiring the drivers surround in our '82-04. W/ all the jumps&loops and lock-outs I didn't have a clue on how to approach...
Tony, Thanks for the encouragement. Looks like with you and Al both, the decision that worked was to just "attack" and that "das book" wasn't all that much...
Actually Grant, if you find the "right" book, it is very much help! Merlin Bennett had the required schematics for my bus & they match exactly right down to...

Hey Pete, I should have typed GSI (Great Southern Insulation) (www.soundstop.com) in Ft. Lauderdale. I do a lot of sportfishing and am around boats a lot. GSI...
On my RTS I did not rewire the driver's surround and bus wiring. I had no problems with my wiring and did not find it necessary to replace anything, other...
You are most certainly correct that it is a daunting task, however, my experience that made me decide to re-wire was: I'm driving down the highway, suddenly...
Dave-- I'm glad told us your story-- like I said in my post I have never had problems with my wiring so I decided to keep it and all the engine safety...
Hi Folks: It is our wish that the Joy, Peace & Serenity of the Holiday Season continues for each of you & yours, during the coming 12 months!!!! Please keep...
I agree with Geoff....believe me, if I didn't have to rewire, I sure would have to think real hard before tearing out good wiring. Would rather be out driving...
Hey Dave, Sounds pretty scary! I'd bet dollars to donuts the problem was the fast-idle switch solinoid on the parking brake + the ground. It would do every...

Rockwell just raised their prices by almost $400 effective 1 Jan 2003, I was informed today. You will find the 4.10 ring & pinion gear listed in Rockwell book...
Dave, I agree with your reasoning for re-wiring,however it is far easier to just remove the interlock air plumbing to prevent that from happening.It is not a...
Anytime you can go to a gathering of bus conversions you should do it-- you learn a lot from the people there and see what they used in their rigs. I'm not...
The wiring for the interlock system works off the handle to the left of the driver that operates the air doors. I removed all the interlock wires along with...
Geoff, Would be real interested in how you rig that up. I like the idea also. Just make the suggestion that instead of a simple switch you use a guarded...
The only concern I would have is, how to keep up the air pressure in the system while parked, to keep the brakes on ????? My brake on the driveshaft holds the...
