Where's the best place to locate the outside temperature sensor?  The Dakota Digital readout is above the pilot seat and the sensor is currently on the roof inside of a covered vent.   I need to replace the sensor.  Normally I put them in front but the generator warms that area up.

Question here for everyone. Have you ever changed the crankcase breather filter on your CAT engines? I think CAT only had that filter on the ACERT engines. The reason I ask is that it can get clogged and thereby increase the crankcase pressure. If the pressure gets too high it can pop the oil filler cap. 

I am replacing my cap, because its broken. At the same time I'm doing the crankcase breather filter. You can't take it out the top of the filter housing because it is just under the bathroom floor. You have to take the entire housing off to get the filter out. 

A CAT technician, when asked about this filter, said that the filter us a service item that gets changed with every oil service. Mine looks to have never been changed. We'll see when I get it off.

allison hd4060  transmission output shaft seal leaking.  Looks like a pretty straight forward job. Has anyone done this repair on there own ?

I bought all 8 bags from this seller in Europe. Total in todays dollars was $790.00 including shipping.  They communicated extremely well throughout the process.  I bought them a year ago and will be installing soon.  The shipping did take a couple of weeks.  Not sure what the tarrif effect will be on the price.

I found the front (living room) AquaHot fan/radiator behind (towards the center of the coach) the front A/C unit (SCS Basement) on the passenger side of the coach.  The wiring plug was not plugged in and not sure what is wrong with it.  I do not have the unit connected since I have been mostly focused on converting the 12-volt to 24-volt thermostat. How do I remove the unit and check the fan? I don’t want to tear it up removing it… I can put 12-volts to it and see if it will run…

I'm going to change out my Drive and Tag axle air bags this winter. It looks like Newell has all 6 in stock and to my surprise there not too bad on the pricing. 

My first question is where the best place is to jack and crib the coach. Do you crib the drives and change out the tags then crip the tags to change out the drives or is there a spot that a set of jack stands can go that allows access to both the drive axle and tag axle. Any input would be helpful so as not to tubelock myself. 

Second question, Since the new drive axle bags only have a 1/4' feed port I know some have deleted the drive axle ping tanks. Thoughts on what is better, Tee the original 1/4" line that ran to the drive axle ping tank down to the new bags or run a completely new line from the six pack straight to the bags. Reasons for ether method? 

When doing ether of these methods, how do you feed the tag axle bags? Do you just tie in and feed the original line going to the solenoid valves then tag axle ping tank keeping that all stock or delete the Tage axle ping tank and solenoid valves by going straight from the sixpack to all three bags.   

Is it worth changing out the shocks at the same time as the air bags? 

thanks in advance for your advice

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out what this black box is that's connected to a couple things behind our main switch panel.  I'm thinking it's something for electrical noise reduction but I'm not sure, as there is no markings on it.

It's making a very high pitched noise (really quietly) that's driving me nuts.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 
Tyler

Hey everyone, I have a lubrucation question. What is the CAT recommended oil for a CAT C15 SDP Acert engine. Its in a 2009 Newell. The coach nameplate just says DELVAC 1, but you can get it in 15W 40, 15W 30, or 5W 40. Seems that The nameplate should have specified this.

Regards,
Bob

Hello, I recently purchased a 2008 Newell coach #1246 P2000i and I am trying to get to the step well cover motor since it is loose. Are there any recommendations to access it?  Thank you, Brig
