Shock mount: Re: Temps

[bumpersbird]

Pete & PT-42 guys,

My left front shock mount was also torn up. My BB guru said it's a
known problem???!!!&&#@$%^&*WHAT THE !@#$%^9)_.

The fix, just weld it back up! What the F@#$!

After installing new shocks a few months latter I replaced all the
airbags. When they lifted the front end up with jacks and the front
axle was hanging with all it's weight and no air bags attached the
shock must have just pulled everything down, ripping the mount off the
frame. Of course the new Koni was toast.

The mechanic was under the coach and I queried him, Hey DUDE, I think
you missed something here. Well it got fixed, he was a certified
welder, they did add some gussetts as I recall. I'll try to get some
photo's of mine as well just to compair notes. The work on my coach was
done at Prevost Nashville.

If this is known problem. I would say anyone with a PT-42 95 to 97
might want to check for a potential problem.

Dang Pete 10 days in the parking lot! I think I might have rented a car
and gone home. I've been there to and sometimes you think well their
almost done and bang, you find something else to get fixed.

My coach has an air compressor although it's not really very good, well
it's just loud. I can air up the bags befor hitting the STOW/STORE
button. So I either air up from Aux. compressor of from the engine
compressor before I let her down. I never had a problem doing it that
way. In my coach it doesn't matter if the jacks are up or down the air
bags will inflate or deflate on command.
