450lxi owners
Hi Jerry
We have had electrical charging problems from the chassis ayatem (Alternators). BB has resolved this problem. Buddy Trussel is the engineer who got the problem resolved. We had a lot of small items, too many to mention here. Contact me off line. 760-744 -1621. Still have a leveling problem with the Hadley system. I am going to contact them personally and try to resolve if possible. We lean to the road side between 1/2 and 5 hours after leveling. We have a blowby problem with the CAT. CAT is working on the problem. Not resolved yet. Weight issue on the front axle. GVWR is 16000lbs. We weigh loaded 18300lbs. Coachworks is working on the problem with Bluebird bus company. Not resolved yet. My concern is we have to have our front tires inflated to 130lbs to carry this weight and this only covers us to 9090 per tire. Wheels are only rated to 9000 each. We just drove 2200 miles with this air pressure in the front tires and the coach rides hard and the bumps and holes are jaw shaking. I am looking into asking Hadley if we can move some weight off the front end to the drive axle by lowering the tag axle pressure. I do not know how to do this as the system is mostly computerized. There in lies the problem. The coach drives like a dream and handles better than anything on the road. We just need to get a few things resolved. Complete Coachworks is doing a great job and hopefully will get this resolved. I would like to know if this problem exists with all the 450s. Most owners are not on any forums. One thing I would like to ad is --anyone owning a coach with a C13 CAT engine should check in with a warranty station, or call the CAT RV hotline from their web page and make sure their motor has all the current updates. Mine needed 4 and a dipstick calibration. The motor was being over filled by 2 quarts of oil. All 450 owners need to get to a warranty station and have their engine checked out. thanks for the inquiry Dan 2005 4540Lxi San MArcos, CA --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "JERRY SMITH" <medpro@...> wrote: > > Dan, curious as to what type problems you have been having, since I have a > 2005 LXI? > > Jerry Smith > 2005 450 LXI > Sarasota, Fl. > > -------Original Message------- > > From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Date: 12/22/07 10:46:08 > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] 450lxi owners > > All owners of 450Lxi Bluebirds that monitor this board, lets get some > inherent issues with > our buses resolved.
