Prevost coach's

luvrbus · February 01, 2022, 11:08:33 AM

There was a 2005 Prevost day coach for sale in Alabama with 415,000 total miles for 85,000.00 not a bad price and I am sure you could make a better deal, everything is in place but would need a remodel for RV use

Don't remember if you said your budget or not

But there's a Prevost for sale 30 miles from me

1993 for 85k

Little high imo

That is Herb Besler's Prevost for sale he took good care of that Prevost has a new 8v92 too plus a new gen set

6805eagleguy I did see that one listed and its only a couple hundred miles from me. The listing said nothing about a new motor or new gen set. I thought the price was a little high and it was pretty much at the top end of my budget. With a new motor and gen set maybe the price isn't out of line. Its been for sale for some time on different sites. When you get into this price range for not too much more money you can get into a 60 series engine. That's kind of were I would like to be but that's a big investment I am not sure the wife is ready for. Any one know any thing about a Prevost in Lake Havasu AZ that was repowered with a C-10 cat?

The 11.1 series 60 in Prevost were 350 to370 hp I owned a H-41 with the 11.1 series 60 the C-10 should be ok in 40 ft bus tons are running around with 350 hp 6v92 engines .Now the common setting for the C-10 in buses was 385 hp with 1350 ft lbs of torque they bump the C-10 up to 425 hp with 1450 ft lbs of torque in trucks

I also hear that since CAT stopped making truck engines that overhaul parts are extremally hard to find.

I had not heard that. Had a buddy have one of his KW's with a 3406E inframed about six months ago and there were no serious issues with parts. It took a little bit to get them in. The shop had every thing to do the job before he took the truck in.

Too bad. Cats always had a reputation of The best premium engine.
Who's next? Cummins

Cat gambled, and lost, with their on highway emission control strategy. They chose to exit, as the money required to reverse their fortunes, and the damage to their reputation, the math didn't add up.

The last few years of Cat were horrible fuel economy, sweet spot for fuel was less than 150 rpm wide, consumption spiked hard on either side.

Edit: and they got caught violating

Cummins is the only independant left, and they are in strategic alliances with many OEM, as well as deeply integrated with Eaton, the transmission company.

They have been in the natural gas arena since it was invented, and have that throughly sorted out.

Cummins isn't going anywhere.

Happy coaching!

We'll see. Bigger outfits that them have gone down the tubes. Govt will keep tightening emission regulations to force electric conversion. Easier to accomplish ultimate goals with increasing tougher regulations that laws banning undesired. Like the regs going on with guns, for example.

And just what are they going to do with all the extra gas and diesel once electric has taken over hmm? Still need lubricating oil. Still need grease. Still need tar for asphalt. Take that out of the crude and you have diesel and gas left over. Where do you put that?

Cat parts are not hard to find every highway engine they built were used in their off road equipment before being modified for highway use

It'll work out. Less exploration, less supply. Everyone thought we could never get away from coal at one time. Yes it's still needed though, but much less. I'm not necessarily hyped on electric, but who ever thought we would go to the moon? Although, there are still those convinced it was staged here somewhere.
