Our 1982 Newell with a 6V92 has a Leece-Neville model 3425J Alternator. The Alternator was been rebuilt in 2010 at a cost of $425.00. It required a new Stator, Rotor and Regulator due partially to a previous repair shop loosing some parts.
It is best to have a Leese-Neville Dealer do the rebuild because these are no longer in production. The 6V92 (and possibly the 8V92 uses this Marine Grade Gear Driven Alternator.
I am making this post for future reference.
Replacement Viton Seal from Detroit Diesel #23508977, and get a Flange Gasket #23509123.

Do all Newells have automatic slack adjusters or did the earlier units have to crawl under and manually adjust?

Monday had the generator radiator cooling fan motor replaced at Newell. It was previously replaced by them in May. All covered by their one year parts and labor warranty from Newell.
On Tuesday when I started the generator, the indicator light that tells you the generator is running failed to light up even though the generator was running. Also the 4 lights that indicate power is going to all 4 legs also failed to light up. And the amp meters all showed zero.
I reset all the breakers on the generator. And in the back of the coach.
Another thing is the 110 fan the provides air to the generator compartment was running but the 220 radiator cooling fan that was just replaced was not.
I restarted the generator several times same result. I let it sit for an hour went back out restarted it and everything worked fine. Called Newell they suspected a bad breaker.
Returned to Newell this morning they replaced the breakers. This afternoon same thing happened except when I restarted the generator everything returned Except a 110 leg. Followed shortly by the other three legs quitting.. Restarted again and all legs have ran great for the last 7 hours.. No issues..
Does anyone have any ideas?

For those traveling through the Buckeye, We have one spot with power and one or two spots for dry camping available. PM me to make sure there is room.

I am looking for power sunshades for the windshield area. MCD is the only company I have found. I'm interested in what is installed in other coaches and whether you are satisfied with it.?
can there be damage done to a jake brake by applying it for long periods of time? The reason I ask we took a day trip today with our jeep from where our campground is just north of the state of Washington on the Canadian side. One portion of the trip was a 12 mile 7 to 8% decline with three 10mph switchbacks in it. I myself have never taken our newell down that type of mountain. More than likely a slow 40 minute drop in a lower gear with jake applied steady. Help on that if I should so decide that trip.
