Definately not a Prevost. It does look like it might have Featherlight Vantare' badges.

Thank you!
That is a Featherlite Vogue 6000. During the mid late 1990s and through the early 2000s, Featherlite made a 40 and a 45 foot Vogue with a CAT engine but it was not a Prevost-based conversion. The more square box Vogues are the 5000 model. The one in your link is a 6000. The Vogue had an interior similar to their Prevost conversions. Their is a 2002 for sale on SmartRVGuide.com for $129K.

I read this post while doing research before purchase. There are actually 2 Prevost with Cat engines that I know of. One is the 1997 Royal XL45 I have and the other is this 2004 Parliament XL2. Ironically both converted/owned by the same person. I have his 1st coach and this is his 2nd coach (link). I have the granddaddy to the C16 - the 3406E 15.8L BIg Bore at 600hp and 2050tq @ 1200rpm (mine is a 1998 5DS which is identical 1999 1MM and to the 2000 7CY (C-16) but a 40-pin ECM in `98/`99 vs the 70-pin in 2000). The 2004 shows to be a C-15 which could be the 6NZ block that ended in 2003 or the 15.2L C15 ACERT since there is no dash in the listing between the C and the 15 - both 600Hp but either 1850tq 6NZ or 2000tq 15,2L C15. Only the engine plate will tell.
I'm running the B500 Allison 4th gen case/controls (same strength as the 4000 case) that was rebuilt by Weller with a mix of the 4000MH (1950tq) and off highway 4900 internal parts (2250tq) to handle the input 2050tq.

So yes there is at least 2 Prevost out there with Cats.

I bet that turns a few heads when it shows up at a Prevost shop for maintenance ha :-)

Prevost Dallas wanted to see and take pictures. There response was something like - we can't help you with any of that (pointing at the yellow parts), but everything else is no problem.
I just bought a 1990 Prevoist XL 40 with a Cat 3406e. I'm the 4th owner, the original owner apparently did the engine swap. Odometer shows 88000 miles. Previous owner had it 13 years and took very good care of it but only drove it 5000 miles. I'm here to learn as much as I can about this coach.
Who converted your coach?
