I think I would go back and rephrase that Ace about Mark being knowledgeable  lol

good luck

Here we go again! Someone ask an opinion and someone gives first hand experience and they are still wrong.
Frankly I dont care how knowledgeable he or anyone is. I am giving personal real time experienced information. I'm not out here making stuff up just to be heard. I can say that I have run my bus that hot, not every minute, every day, but it has happened and it never hurt it and I dont suspect it ever will. Again the guys I usually run with I trust 100% and have learned a lot from just being with them and hanging out at their shop.

Ace you are rolling the dice @ 210 or 215 on a 8v92 but you have always been lucky lol,but if you think the DDEC will save your a** better think again and as far as Mark that guy owned a fleet of the H series and MCI'S he is very knowledgeable about buses I would say more than anyone on this board JMO   

good luck

Clifford, the ddec in the bus will shut down at 215. The hottest mine ever got was I think 212 coming back from SC in the heat on the hills with a bad radiator, not leaking, just very bad. Since replacing the radiator, it runs a constant 195-200+-.

Check this. Turn your markers on and off and watch the gauges. Often the gauges change readings when doing this.

Bad ground

Our 8-V 92TA runs 180........185 with the OTR A/C running.

That is if you trust the terribly calibrated gauges and often incorrect readings LOL

Welcome to the world of prevo ownership.

The dash air pressure gauges are often 5 to 10 lb off. Check them out for yourself.

Ever seen a prevo with electric air pressure gauges, they are out there and are completely worthless.

[Ace]

I rarely rely on the bus gauges. I usually check using the silverleaf compared to the pro-link.

Gauges are only as accurate as their sending units.  I see a lot of people with digital dashes in race cars confuse precision with accuracy.  Standing there looking at a burnt  down engine saying the oil temp was only 220 and the poor thing is smoking and stinking like the fryer in a McDonalds...  Dash was precisely indicating a totally wrong reading.
