That dont work either  I need to figure this out. If your a prevo owner you will really appreciate what im trying to share.

[Joe Camper]

This is a PDF file I am moving here from the documents on my laptop why cant it be opened by others help me out here.

It was passed to me and I had no problems opening and filing it?

Joe,

First link worked great.

Thanks for the info that really helps to see the logic behind the Prevost magic!

let's try this again-->

nope - didn't work

Just cut and past the complete URL into the address line - that works

Very interesting info / diagrams

IMHO very unnecessarily overly complicated. It is a wonderful in-site to the thought process that goes into the design of these chassis. This is the kind of complexity you see all over the chassis.

Anything you need to do is going to be a project.  Everything is over engineered to death.

For example another great little gizmo they have to run the cost and complexity up, the automatic tag dump. They optioned that option.

All automatically controlled with a limit switch attached to the drag link. When you turn past point X the tag automatically dumps. On " meir normal prevo" the reaction and performance of this feature is dramatically reduced due to the fact that all the weight of the tag transfers to the drives those bags cant react quick enough ans subsequently the drive axle squats almost as much as the tag raises.

Not to fear they added air over hydraulic shocks on the drive axle inboard and in addition of the standard rear outboard shocks.

When the tag dumps these automatically en gauge and lock out keeping the drive axle from squatting letting the tag lift preform way way better.

The cost of keeping all this stuff up can be staggering if you can not do things yourself. I see many of these air over hyd shock systems taken off line

I was checking out a new Van Hool that used that system it's going to be a nightmare later in life lol besides being a Van Hool

good luck

[Joe Camper]

Its the shocks themselves I do not think they are big enough to hold up 30000+ They all blow seals and leak profusely the reservoir is very remotely located and small and drains quickly often not even noticed, most folks have no clue the components are even there.

If you are a grease monkey and have it Its very cool Bling for the engineers.

I been following John over on the BNO to see how leveling a Prevost with the front 2 air bags is going to work for him bypassing the Lo Buoy front system  

good luck

[Joe Camper]

I was watching and looking at that too. If that system functions as designed it is a wonderfully simpler design and solution to making levelers out of the exzisting suspension.
