Whoa Boy, Air Box Drains

Thanks Geoff and JC mine (8V92TA) never used a drop either or very little between oil changes until it started dripping out the tubes. A few short trips back.

Glenn, I need to see your coach. I was just at SS yesterday getting oil. Let me know when you're back down here

Glen,it is what it is but unlike some big bucks spent on engines in older buses your bus is worth repairing.Now set down and squeeze the neck on the Lone Star bottle.
I saw a bill on a 92 Prevost with 8v92 DDEC @ WW WIlliams today for a complete out of frame rebuild $32,181.93 it was a high mileage engine with 480k miles though.

Cliff don't scare me like that. Might have to go get my toothbrush out and leave the rest their. Scott, it's in the back bay. Talk to Tommy (service manager) and go see it. He did say something when he made his walk around that it was the cleanest 2 stroke he had ever seen. Not a drop of oil anywhere on engine. Still Silver. Heck the bellows on exhaust were still bright. I told him the only washing the motor got was Rain. I Hope for the best. If it does cost me $32,000 might have rethink this deal as I ain't gonna do this every 86,000 miles. When Tommy called on the way be to house yesterday , mechanic asked what kind of oil I ran in it . I guess that way he could blame it on the multi grade oil. I told him Delo 100 it's whole life, even before I got it.

Hopefully it will be something minor LOL if he thinks 15/40 was to blame have Geoff call him he has always used 15/40 in his engine

That's not exactly true.  I have run 15w-40 to break it in but have been running 40wt since the first oil change.  I have customers that run the multiweight in their Detroits.

I thought you switched a couple of years back I remember reading a post somewhere,I know a lot of people that use 15/40 in the engine and the Allison transmission

[muldoonman]

Run the Delo 100 and TranSynd Transmission Fluid in the transmission in mine..

[Geoff]

In my V730 I used to run Dexron then switched to universal tractor and transmission oil which is a 10w-20 hydraulic oil with good results.  Not that I had any problems with Dexron, but a $50.00 5 gallon pail of the universal oil is exactly the right amount of fluid with a filter change.

I'm thinking I would do it for around half of that, depending on machine work.  But I'm not doing anything for a few months, I go under the knife this afternoon.  I'll just be posting a lot.
