Does your engine run hotter when fighting a headwind?

Yep, ken did his magic. Amazing difference but yet at the cost of some added heat. When we finally get some actual cold temps to drive in, this coach comes alive.. unstoppable

Change to a Charge air cooler then it really comes alive, the after coolers suck but it beats nothing IMO

That was my first intro to any seriously long up and down grades. Nothing quite like this out east. And this is our first foray into the west with the coach in 6 years of full timing

Welcome to the west coast!  Lots of ups and downs!

Scott  just wait till you get to see Kens Prevo   It is amazing.

After it you will start on bus number 3.

Clifford i have the charge air cooler  just can not find room for it.

Maybe some day I will show up and we can figure out how.

Do not know which is the most amazing.

The big scenic-cruiser of Pat McNeils or Kens Prevo.

have pictures of them and Huggy blowing diesel smoke all over Jara Smiths grave stone.

Hope someone has the respect to do me the same.

He started us all on the road to bus conversions and big injectors in Detroits.

Maybe Jack Campbell had a little to do with it also.

I think side winds might explain why my bus was overheating just slightly going through Wyoming this year.  The CEL came on twice both with high temperature codes.  It did not get hot enough to shut down.  The rest of the trip with some even steeper grades no heating issues.

We had some horrible weather this year for my big trip.  It was like a hurricane crossing the Salt Flats on I80.  Wind and rain was so bad we could only do 45 MPH at full throttle on a flat road.  Going west from Wendover on I80 it was raining so bad I could hardly see the road.  I don't think I saw another vehicle for a good 30 minutes even though it was only 9 pm.  I guess the rest were smart enough to stop for the night.
