Contemplating doing another conversion

[uncle ned]

I purchased a system off eBay that was designed for some coach company.  I think it was Marathon.

It has a container that holds about 2 gallons of liquid and a built in pump.
I have 4 nozzles and if I am in the hills of West Virginia if fill it up every day.
I have a button on the left that i use to make it work,

Most of the time I run windshield washing fluid in it.  Do not worry about it freezing and it keeps the radiator clean.

I think it cost me about 45.00 dollars at the time.

In my case, I enlarged the radiator to its biggest core. Adding another radiator might work, just don't have the room. Besides, I don't need the misters very often. Some trips don't ever use them. A year ago when we went to Pahrump, I only used them 3 times. Once up Cajon, Baker, then over the hill into Pahrump. Good Luck, TomC

I think misters should be a necessary addition to any coach that has heating issue in grades,providing the cooling system is in good, well maintained condition. The minimal cost for a setup is far cheaper than a toasted engine in repair costs. Sure just let off the throttle, but then those times when the crest of the hill is just a couple hundred yards away and you already have a line of vehicles behnd you.......

Just brought home a 1998 DL3. A little more than I really wanted to pay, but I literally could not find a speck of rust. She's governed at 65 so that will need to be addressed. Now the fun begins, start stripping it down tomorrow.

Tell us more. What engine and transmission?

I hope you got the 430/470 series 60 and B500,the D is good bus it has a few problem areas but they all do,and the D is easy to work on. 65 mph is not a bad setting it's not like a 8v71 that faints when they see a hill, grades don't seem to bother ours set on cruise 
I love the follow along tag set up,I am gathering parts for disk brakes for ours I have Jakes and the retarder it's probably a over kill but disk brakes don't give all the problems as the drum brakes.
If you have the bus in Quartzsite I would like to stop and see it on the way home this weekend I hope if the Mayo is through with me

Clifford it is the 330/350 11.1 with B500 and jakes. I really wanted a 12.7 but this one is so clean and I feel I got a good deal. It does have a few issues I need to iron out but structurally it is beautiful. I was absolutely amazed at the mileage it got coming home, I won't even tell you what it was, I would bring out all the naysayers and start a war. Let's just say that it does better than double the 8v71. I am not in Quartzsite I am at the house in Golden Valley.
