Jake brake and High Idle - Ernie E - 11-27-2009 12:22

After having 2 different mechanics work on my coach a couple years ago, I had no
jake or high idle. Today, that changed. John Rud has a fella that is a 2 stroke
guy and he came out to look at my old bus.
He checked, proded, used various electrical instruments and got my jake to
work! Although, the only way it will work is when I manually turn it on, but
that is better then the nothing I have been putting up with. The high idle has
lost the small air line, he said probably melted on the exhaust and he would
have to look under the bed. I told him, I can do that and if I find that line I
can connect it and reroute it away from exhaust heat.
So, I am a happy camper.
So- bring on those mountains, I can feel better about them now.

Glad that John knew someone Ernie. This is good news. I have some plastic
air line here unless you find some on the road.

Safe travels,

thanks, I think I have some of that in my goodie box. The Jake is what I needed most. A BIG relief.
