CW,Eagle international is a chapter of FMCA we have a about 180 Eagle owners in the club.We have at least 2 rallies each year at different locations but always the one in Quartzsite AZ every Jan.You need to belong to FMCA to join the group and the FMCA dues I believe are 40 or 45 dollars per year and the Eagle dues are 10 bucks.they are a fun group and more like a family to each other.The FMCA membership is worth the money just to be able to buy Coach Net a emergency roadside assistance with the towing.Wayne Schell (rusty) is our president He or Paul Lawry (dreamscape) can send you a application to join if you like.you would like they are great people plus we always have great food.Paul can give you a link for some photos of the rallies if you have other question I am sure Wayne or Paul will chime in.I feel bad for the guys of our chapter that live on the east coast seems like we never have a rally there always on the west coast someday maybe a member will have another one there good luck | ||

There are also a couple of board dedicated to the Eagle, but I lost the links recently and someone else will have to get them for you. I attended an Eagle rally several years ago in SC. Hosted by Gene Rochester I believe. The only east coast rally I recall. Richard | ||

The Eagle chapter established a website committee at the last general meeting. That committee has been working on the a definition of the chapter website and we are going to preview the site to the members at the Branson rally. The present "definition" of the site will have a set of "public" pages that describe the chapter, give some membership requirement details and a membership application form. It will also have a "members only" area where various information (e.g. roster,etc) will be non-public. Obviously, this definition will be subject to chapter approval. The domain is in place as well as the server. We are trying to take baby steps to make sure that the members are comfortable with the approach. Jim | ||

There are more than one Eagle Yahoo groups. None is an official group for the Eagle Chapter. The new website is via a commercial service with its own domain name. It will NOT be a Yahoo group. Jim | ||

Paul, you didn't stir the pot buddy I should have read all of Jim post about the web site but this web site has been a pet project of mine for years because we have so many members that will not use these boards and are setting on a mountain of information about the Eagle bus and we need one and when it's over and done I will probably find something else, I get a lot of help from members like Bob Ward LOL PS I know already what the next project will be (Message edited by luvrbus on July 25, 2008) (Message edited by luvrbus on July 25, 2008) (Message edited by luvrbus on July 25, 2008) | ||

Well they better hurry and get it up and running. ;) Then we will have the best of the best Eagle information. We really need one centralized site for Eagles anyway. So Clifford, what's the next project???? | ||

luvrbus what would the coolant capacity now be with this smaller radiator,and what kind of anti freeze should I use.Also what kind of oil should I use in the 6v92t?I filled the radiator with straight water to check for leaks when I finally got it started I had sutty water come blowing out of the exhaust pipes leading to the turbo.Has this ever happened to any one that you know. | ||

CW,your capacity should be around 15 to 17 gal depending on the on how any many tubes the radiators has.The oil to use is a straight 40 w I use Delo 400 in mine all the new cd 11 oils are less than the 1% ash now Exxon,Texaco, Shell,Phillips any meet the requirement now. A good anti freeze is a precharged heavy duty type don't waste your money on the 50/50 stuff.Blowing water is not a good sign you may have a injector tube, head gasket or a cracked head causing you heating problems check the air box tubes and see if water is coming from one of them you have 1 on each side (Message edited by luvrbus on July 29, 2008) (Message edited by luvrbus on July 30, 2008) | ||
