Need some air ride seats

[Gregory OConnor]

Chris, on many bigrigs the seat is a seat. the pedistal is
stationary or airride. used airride pedistals are about $50. at Big
truck wrecking yards. You will notice that Bigrig airride seats or
pedistals have a forward and back float (adjustable)to hold the
driver stationary when the rig jerks through the gears. You then
need to find air to run the seat. The cat compressor builds air for
front brakes, rearbrakes and auxillary purpose. the three are
isolated so failure with one will not render the other useless. be
shure to hookup to the correct port. Remember that when the air
bleeds down the seat loses height and bounce. There are some
spring loaded pedistals out there with adjustable spring tensioners
on juice brake (hydrolic) trucks that may work well to make her
comfortable.

There is more to repowering (replacing the engine with faster) then
you think. I look at the $ variable first when making a upgrade
decision. A good used diesel engine worthy to pull a FC cost about
$10,000.00 then you need a new trans and driveline. The guy you
bought the bus from just completed the most cost effective first
step in making the bus go faster. Save the sign.
