Dynasty air throttle, what years?

[Tdkkart]

Hello,

Approx. what year or years did Monaco switch over to the air throttle system on Dynasty models??

Owning a recently acquired '95 Dynasty with the 8.3L mechanical Cummins/Allison, and being well aware of the King Control electronic cruise/throttle issues I've been keeping this in the back of my mind as I work other issues but not really doing anything about it as the throttle and cruise has been working fine.

Last night being bored at the campground I took my grease gun under the back end to hit the various zerks I could find, and then just laid there making notes on other things I could see.

Lo and behold, up there under and to the rear of the injection pump is a Williams air throttle slave cylinder.  What?? I had thought that my coach wasn't new enough for the air throttle??

Looking into the situation further I crawled under the dash and looked at the throttle pedal closer. Sure enough, it's a Williams floor mount pedal, but it's been flipped and turned to be mounted through the "firewall", Williams pedal cut off/shortened and a different pedal extension bolted on. Looking from the front side of the firewall the entire installation looks very factory installed. That, or a really nicely done aftermarket conversion.

So what do I have, a factory air throttle in a 1995 coach, or a conversion??

I can take pics this evening/weekend if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks

Tom

Interesting.  My '97 Dynasty has the King Control unit. AFAIK they switched off King Control when the first electronic engines were used in 1998.

Pics would be great.
