98 prevost power steering hose

Unless u could get the correct " field repair" ends you would have to take in both pieces to have new ends put on for any type of a repair, "splices" don't work on high pressure hydraulic hoses for the most part.

Yeah they do...if you use fittings and unions rated the same as the hose.

At least the $3600.00 included the hose and a kiss...I hope...

It took awhile I guess people complained about 100 ft of hose on the power steering I noticed on a 2010 they have metal tubing with short hoses on each end now, the way it should have been years ago

Eagle that is what I said, a "splice" is a whole different animal.

A barbed fitting with hose clamps is my thinking of a splice you see a lot of those on old buses  sometime the owners get creative and use 4 clamps

OK... got the hose off... maybe 4 hrs... about 4 hrs to move the treasures i have collected in two years....  Thanks BOB,,,I owe you,,, I was afraid to tackle this task,,, now I will have hose made at shop,,, will let you know the cost,,, should be about 35 ft... I think about 2 hr to install hose with all the clamps?  Maybe I didnt take the breaks Prevost mech take??
3 days to change hose,,,,wow?.... Hope thats not 10 hr shift...lol

The hoses are a weak link on Prevost it is fact hoses that long under 2000 + psi just don't last and they are not all routed in the same place mine went right down the middle on the H and was a bitch to remove with 20 clamps 

 LOL  they spend 4 hrs washing and draining the fluid can't have any oil the nice floors and I kinda understand that with all the conversion in the shop that would piss me off to see a oily foot print on white carpet

Be careful what kind of hose they sell you, a lot of crap from china and India now. Good prices, not so good hose. You probably need three wire, don't save a few bucks and regret it down the road.

Thanks,,, will check

Parker is the best hose on the market IMO,Eaton second and Bridgestone is the best for the offshore guys,Eaton was the OEM for Prevost

I had a local mechanic change out both of mine.  Only one had visible leaks at both ends, but both looked the same age so both were done at once.  This was about 11 years ago.  About $6 bucks per foot, plus putting the ends on.  The Crown had a burned up Victors pump and TRW power assist steering.  Still safe to drive, just no power assist.  The very knowledgeable guy in Grants Pass OR also provided the correct larger Victors pump. 

16K front axle. A local heavy truck mechanic changed out both hoses, the pump and put on correct Gates belts.  Right at $1000 bucks total then?  $Ouch$ and Yikes!  Once fixed correctly, one could turn the wheel lock to lock with just one finger.  The entire front end of the Crown lifted up a bit, then dropped back down.  Absolutely quiet.  No whine.  The Cummins never dropped rpm.  Long ago and far away.  HB of CJ (old coot)

If he had went to a Prevost service center he would have gotten 2 hoses replaced plus a oil sample,pressure check, a flush new oil , filter,steering box adjustment and another sample it better come back good or they do the flush and new oil again BTDT.

To most of us we think it's a over kill , not to Prevost they don't leave much to chance at a price of course

ALL done,,,, $233. for hose 33ft9in...about $50 for odd parts to pull the hose thru,,, and less than 8 hrs. total.... I AM VERY HAPPY

[luvrbus]

You do need the change the filter it is not fun when the rubber gets in the poppet,rotary valves and the recirculating balls in the sector from a  bad hose BTDT

You should be a happy camper now  .

I buy a tremendous amount of hose and fittings each year and have found that there are no short cuts on quality of the hose and the correct fittings. You might consider getting what they call some field repair fittings for the type and brand of hose you bought, if you have a bad hose in the future you can cut and repair it on the road if necessary. Not really expensive and they work well, worth it if you even suspect you may have another problem. Don't even attempt a barbed splice of any sort, those are for low pressure return lines or water hoses.
