Great work. I have a DDEC 3 on my 1995 Liberty Conversion thats due for this. Way above my diesel pay grade though!

thank you!

Always a great lesson Ted thanks for the video.

Maybe you should consider "fixing" the rear closet engine cover to allow for easy access to the engine from the top. On my Newmar I adjusted/modified the engine cover in the closet area so I can remove it in about 5 minutes. This was a real improvement in allowing me to do maintenance from the top, i.e. fan gear box oil changes and engine crankcase filter.

Thanks for the video.

Glad to see you don't double click on your torque wrench. Many do and will argue to the death that double clicking doesn't create an over torque.

Good video. How many miles on your bus?

Nice video man I love the sound can you please do more exactly like this one but in the next one used to Jake brakes because I love the sound of a Jake brake. Stay safe man have a safe trip. I hope all is well with you.

Ted i hope you got all the asbuilt dwgs for this rig . Enjoy 🇺🇸

Curious to know what fuel filters you use. Another great video.

Welcome back my man Ted! Been a while, but I'm glad you're back! Very informative video - I never knew that stuff about replacing the damper on a Series 60! Now, I don't know if you saw, but I posted a comment on the video of opening the damper from your Cat 3126 - definitely check it if you haven't already!

Thanks for the video.

Nice vid. Really like the information you give. Do you have anything for cleaning and replacing the fuel injectors of the series 60?

Hi Ted, Thank you. Great video! Nice job, You made that look easy. You certainly answered a question I've been having. Like you, I've also noticed a very slight vibration at idle (very minor) and have wondered if changing the damper would have any effect on that. After watching your video I feel comfortable leaving it as is at least for now. Also the engine has very low mileage. Thank you once again, hope you and your family are having a great summer!❤❤❤

I've been considering the bluefire for a while now, but want to know what kind of information I can expect to get. My rv is a 1998 with 5.9L Cummins 24 valve. Is there a way to find out what the ECU will display without first buying the unit?

Thanks Ted. BTW is there a way I can get in contact with you?, I´m from mexico and I´ve a few questions for you about my endeavor 1999 36WGS.

Well done Ted. I have a 2005 Gulfstream TOY HAULER with an Onan quiet diesel 5500. Recently we dealt with hurricane Beryl. I figured the 70 gal diesel tank would last. To my dismay, after running the genny for a couple days, sometimes just for the microwave and AC, I lost Onan electricity. Odd is that I can get "shore power" fine when I plug the unit into a dual fuel portable genny. I checked the 2- 30amp breakers on the QD and reset them, I also reset all the A/C breakers in the home panel. So far I suspect the wiring block on the upper corner of the QD or the transfer switch. Most of Houston lost grid power....now 6 days. I may do as you did, and drop the unit from the coach and give it a once over. Your vid will be most useful. Only thing I would do different is use BLACK tie wraps instead of white. As a retired telco tech, we used plenty of black tie wraps which last much longer because of the black carbon content in the plastic. Second choice are the thin STAINLESS (with ball clamp) tie wraps. They are almost indestructible to heat, UV , chemical and corrosion. Visit me in Houston if you trip to the Gulf Coast.....good fishing and BBQ. Later Ted ;-)

Congratulations beautiful bus

Look under the bottom pan of the gen and see if your motor mount bolts have dropped down indicating the motor mounts under the motor have sagged or disintegrated. My bolts are about 5/8 lower than the pan so I think the noise is motor/alt mounts more than anything. I pulled mine out and did the same service but its still much louder than they where when new. Mine is a 2003 Kountry star. Thanks for the video, it reminded me how hard it is to inspect those mounts and why I didn't take a look at them.

Wow we upgraded our 2003 Holiday Rambler Endeavor . Thanks to your video. What a difference . Especially at night. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍

It would be interesting to see a video when you do maintenance on the Houghton unit. Does the whole cover come off or do you unsnap the upper from the lower plastic cover? Also, it looks like the fins only on one end are exposed that would need to be cleaned.

Very good videos. Thanks for educating us. 1997 Marathon XLV (Coach 429)

Thanks for all the Prevost videos. I have a new XLII about the same vintage as yours and they are super super helpful to understanding what is going on.

Looking forward to a video on the air leveling system

Hey bud just bought an XJR and thinking about doing the trans fluid just to be safe. Wondering if you could tell us the final amount of fluid you ended up using.

Awesome vid. Thanks Ted.

Do you know of a way to clean the fuel injectors and other engine common issues?

I have essentially the same coach as you, 2001 XL2 with Millennium conversion. Been following in many of your footsteps and have a few things we have done you might be interested in. Get in touch if you ever want to compare notes and/or lessons learned. Where are you guys located / typically travel? ps - just ordered the BlueFire based on this video, thx for the guidance.

Do u have video of u actually taking it apart not skipping all the work also do u do all the work from the little dog box and big dog box

You’ve stated several times that it’s Obvious Visually that the fluid needs to be changed and it actually looks pretty good. You’ve mentioned that you come from the aviation industry as have I so can you share what in the video that you see are the indicators.

Where did you buy this? I couldn’t find it for my ‘23 1250gs adventure. Great videos thanks.

is the oil pan gasket reusable? what about the oil pump pickup tube gasket and second tube gasket? Were they included with the pump?

Freightliner discontinued the rear bags. I called Michigan truck springs in Saginaw MI. They have firestone bags that are a direct replacement for the XC chassis. The fronts are still made and usually inbstock at freightliner

Do these run continuously when on or do they cycle on and off with the temperature settings?

I wish I had your workshop!

Great video. However you don't mention if the air system has to be empty or can the filter be changed while the system is charged?

That is exactly what I need! Any chance I can rent, borrow or buy that tool from you? I’ll pay shipping and even ship it back to you when I’m done if you need it.

Thanks for your video. Short sweet and to the point.

What size nozzles are you using?

Thanks for posting. Very informative. I've got the same generator and it's a noisy son of a bitch.

Very very interesting stuff right here! Now, got a question (may be a tough one though). When a Detroit Series 60 is at idle, why is there a slight whistling sound? As the RPM's rise, the "whistling" increases in pitch as well. I've always heard that "whistle" on Series 60 engines and have always wondered what that was. I remember one of the buses (an older Prevost H3-45 I believe) from a local bus company had the Series 60, and when it was idling, the "whistling" was extremely loud, and it idled a little lower than most Series 60's. The whistling can also be heard on a Cat 3406B engine. And on a slightly related topic, how are the ASMR sleep videos with my suggestions coming along? It's been a couple weeks since the last video and wanted to check in and see how it's going! Please let me know ASAP.

Is that self-leveling sealant you used?

Wondering where you got the DC powered AC Compressor and Driver? What are you using for Thermostat Control? I am looking to add AC to an electric Vehicle I am building and this masterflux Compressor looks interesting.

Thank You! this is my next direction as to checking the CANbus C connection and ground for TCM PCM/ECM no communication fault! crossing fingers

I wish I had your youth. Glad I'm not the only one that has trouble making simple things happen because they're not as easy as they would appear in the directions. You give me the inspiration to keep trying when things don't go right. 1994 Prevost Liberty Coach #270. Very good presentation. Thanks

how did you get the 3/4 bolt out of the right hand side?? Where the fill tubes and dip stick are.

I'm curious why so many diesel rv'ers are not interested in the engine parameter exhaust temperature (EGT)? I don't think there are any engines currently used in RVs that will self limit if this temperature is exceeded...I am sure my Cummins does not. Exhaust temperature is in the Bluefire list of engine parameters available so if I do wind up using this system I will include on my display. Any comments are appreciated Kevin

Did you notice any traction loss in the rain? I’m not much for snow. I remember my hot rod back in the 80’s rear tires were quite wide and the traction sucked in the rain. Lol. Thx. Oh i have a 2015 Newmar London Aire. I’d suppose it would be an option for me also? Thx. New subscriber.
