Hey y'all. It's Oct 7th and we are in a truck stop in Deer Lodge Montana. We pulled in last night while on the way to Butte because we were losing power. 45mph in a 65mph zone (80mph for cars) is not good. The bus was blowing gray-ish-blue smoke when trying to "push it" to get up to 50/55mph. Let off, smoke stops. After some research, we've found the smoke is from incomplete combustion..... To much fuel in the cylinders (throttle to the floor - no change in rpms - extra fuel that isn't burnt right - smoke). So no worries there.
As for the loss of power, we are finding that we might have a partially plugged fuel filter. For one at Napa, will install it shortly.
Please pray everything works out.... 2000 miles at 45mph would take forever!
God bless!
