57k - Your making me sick - More power to you and let me be the first to tell you - YOU STOLE THAT BUS - I don't care what it cost you to PM it - YOU FLAT OUT STOLE IT - just add 100k to the purchase price when your at the get-togethers so someone doesn't wring your neck

  Don (or anyone else), there is a very nice 1991 Prevost Liberty conversion for sale in Springdale. 97K miles IIRC, guys not going to get his asking price and he knows it. I'll see if I can find the ad if anyones interested.

Thanks, but like I said previously, "I am not in the market for one."

 I found the original invoice  and it started at $335,000 before they started adding extras. Finished product,  $415,000 and change. They looked at the coaches at a Bus Show in Las Vegas and ordered this one. I knew the original owner and wife (in her mid 90's now).They owned a successful trucking company in west texas. I asked her if the coach was for sale and she told me the price, I like to fell over. Sometimes you get luckey. I will try to post pics when I can.

I would still take it to Prevost in Ft Worth or Stewart and Stevenson in your area no matter what the mileage is all the hoses are 20 years old.

Glen -

Kudos to you for being in the right place at the right time!

Since you're a newbie, be aware that your 8V92 needs STRAIGHT 40wt, 1% or less sulfated ash, oil in the engine.  Detroit does not recommend multi-weight unless you're in the Yukon.  Chevron Delo 100, Shell Rotella T, Mobile Exxon Delvac are three popular brands, there are others.  Usually not on the shelf at WalMart - you've got to order it from a petroleum products distributor.  Comes three gallons per case, you need seven gallons for an oil & filter change.

Also, if you'll take a couple of minutes to edit your profile to include your coach model, engine, transmission, city & state, that can, in the future, help other busnuts help you by being able to direct you to local services, answer questions accurately, etc.

Be sure to check out the other bus bulletin boards, too.  You've got BNO (www.busnut.com) and the Prevost busnuts group over on Yahoo.  BNO has a GREAT searchable archive, going back several years prior to this BBS.  Yahoo's groups go back almost as far, but the bbs isn't easily searchable.  So you've got lots of resources for your questions.

Welcome to the madness!  Won't be long before you figure out who the various characters are around here, and who's got the weirdest sense of humor, too!

FWIW & HTH. . .
