Help with schematics?

[Jim Blackwood]

Back when I bought the bus I downloaded the operator's and maintenance manuals from this site and made sure to get the right ones for my '96 102DL3, even checking the serial number to be sure.

But there's always been a problem. The schematics for both air and wiring were never scanned properly, with the result of the edges of the drawings running off the page and what's on those edges? Oh I dunno, just the page identifiers and routing symbols for every stinkin line that goes to another page is all.

Which means, if you are lucky to find a page that has anything you need in the first place, as soon as a line goes to another page you're screwed. And that happens continuously. And if it's the top or bottom of the page? Yeah you are doubly screwed there.

So the drawings are worse than useless because they trick you into thinking they might be of some help when all they will do is waste your time and confuse you.

I devoutly hope the ones available from MCI on CD are not like this. But so far nobody has ever confirmed it. So here I am again, approaching a decade into the build and still no schematics. Folks, I need help. I can't see paying $500 just on the off chance that the full schematics *MIGHT* be included. I just can't afford to take those kind of gambles.

So how about it? Anyone out there have any help for me on this? Anyone who knows for sure where to get the full schematics and has actually done it? Please? I've asked about this before but never gotten a solid answer. I can pay the $500 if I have to. I'd rather not, and if I do I want to know for sure I'll get what I expect.

You might talk to JD at C&J Bus Repair.  952-881-0034.  He would probably know about schematics for the DL3.  His parts guys who often answer the phone might even know.
