Hi Guys, I have one of the 4106 buses that has been shortened to 30 ft. It overheated on me 10 miles from home on the way back from the keys about a month ago. It shut off on me at the time and I had it towed home. It still runs but is smoking and is idling rough. It is in a place where i can work on it and I have the manuals. I am temped to take a head off. But I probably owe it to the bus (and my wallet) to get some real diagnostics first.
I am in St Petersburg FL. Is there anyone nearby that may be able to take a look and offer some friendly advice?
Thanks,
Jeff Anderson
Wellllll a 4106 has TWO heads,, so which one are you thinking about and WHY??>>>Dan
Pull the inspection covers off on the air box and look before you start pulling heads,that why they are there,use a bore scope now days if have a cell phone you can buy a bore scope camera to work with it for 20 bucks
Any idea why it overheated in the first place?
The inspection covers are the little round covers with a bolt on them?

Jeff,
We're you able to figure out your coach's overheating problem?

After almost two years and only one post,,,not likely to hear from this guy again. Its normal.>>>Dan
Beyond not hearing from this guy again, and why it overheated, why would someone shorten a 4106 in the first place?
Research...
Pike's Peak special build.
Happy coaching!

COOL!
Saw a 30 foot 4106 at the FMCA rally in Richmond, Va., several years ago. Don't know if it was that one. Did a double take when I saw it.

There are only 2 30 foot 4106's that I know of. This guys which is brown and white and a green one. The 3rd modified bus became a parts bus and was scrapped many years ago.
I have been attempting to contact this guy for years. He bought it from a seller in Battle Creek, MI and drove it home to Florida.
