Leave the coach, call an Uber to the nearest airport, and fly to your vacation. Worry about the coach later.

Well all I can say is it was a perfect match for my 2000 ISC 8.3, 2001 Chassis, 2003 Body! I just ordered a spare myself!
It would be nice if some of the above posters have ordered would report on there results?

This is also my emergency plan if i break down in middle of nowhere to at least get to the next town. I had just removed the driveshaft and serviced it so it was easy to remove. It may be more difficult if it hasnt been removed recently but a pry bar should get it out. And make sure wheels are chocked beforehand, i had to release the park brake to be able to get the tension off the shaft fir it to come out.

MSitework, so so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Praying for your wife and family. Also sorry to hear about the oil pressure sensor costing so much...dang...that's a lot to have happened in such a short time.
Praying 2019 is a much better year for you and your family!

The recovery bar was optional from CC. I have one as well and hope I never need it.
