Just saw this one on Facebook. 1990 Newell, 2000 series 42.

Lots of pics.

Looking for advice on how to get the speedometer and odometer functional again on my 1984 Classic. It has a DD6v92 engine with an Allison MT654 transmission. The speedometer and odometer both quit working about a year ago when our voltage regulator and alternator burned out while we were on the road from Austin to Tom's place in Arizona. When that happened everything electrical in the coach got a big surge or series of surges and lots of components were ruined, from marker lights to the circuit board in our refrigerator. I am more concerned about getting the odometer working because I want it to reflect actual mileage on the coach as closely as possible. I can and do monitor the speed with my GPS.

Observations: The speedometer needle on the Stewart-Warner speedometer/odometer in the dash swings back and forth without ever settling down to a constant mark. It will swing from 0-80 when starting off and then vary back and forth by about 30 mph while driving at a constant speed. The center of the swing back and forth is approximately the correct speed, based on a comparison to the GPS. The odometer will sometimes tick over 1 or 2 miles during a 20 mile drive but does not move at a constant rate and does not move at all most of the time.

I took the sender unit and associated items off at the transmission housing and inspected. Did not see any broken tangs and items looked well lubricated. Took the sending unit off the stalk and used an electric drill to spin the sender. Laureen said the speedometer responded but did not stay at a uniform speed even when the drill speed seemed to be constant. We also previously confirmed continuity between the sending unit and the speedometer. With the entire stalk assembly out, I hand turned the tang that fits into the transmission housing and observed that the tang going into the signal generator on the other end turned as well. Tried to make sure the tangs fit into the grooves when reassembling. 

I have replaced the original sending unit with an old "new" one off the shelf with the same results. Replaced the connectors on the wires from the sending unit to the speedometer.

Don't know what to do next. Is there something to inspect or replace on the speedometer head unit itself? Should I replace the speedometer/odometer unit in the dash? Should I take the stalk of items off the transmission again and clean, re-lube and reassemble? Is it possible there is some electrical issue interfering with the signals going from the sending unit to speedometer in the dash that would cause erratic behavior? 

Would like to get this resolved in the next couple of weeks before heading up to Spearfish. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello to everyone. Im here to gain more knowledge about these wonderful machines. This group seems to be the place to gather info and interact regarding the whole coach experience.

Hey everyone, question for you all. We just had Newell perform our first PM on our coach before taking off for Alaska and I noticed that they spun on a SCA coolant filter LFW4075, I told them I am running OAT final charge coolant, which requires a blank coolant filter. They seem like they have no idea the difference  between OAT vs legacy coolant systems and SCA requirments. Am I just stressing out about nothing here? Out of an abundance of caution and recomendation from the coolant manufacturer Peak Final Charge, I am flushing out the coolant system and replacing the contaminated coolant. Thanks for your inputs guys!

Saw Coach 1727 just prior to delivery, beautiful coach

In 13 years and 100k miles of coach use, I have never had to change a fuel filter while on a trip. I had my first experience a couple of days ago. We had to climb Black Mountain into Asheville NC, and I had NO power. I also could not build any boost over about 5 psi. I suspected fuel filter, but I had 20 more miles to go before the campground, and that was plenty of time for my mind to run away to turbo issues, ECM issues, air intake issues, and mostly ruined trip. Oh yeah, think horses not zebras I said. 

I had spare filters and ATF so changing the filter was not a problem. Except spinning the locking ring loose was a bear, that a channel lock filter wrench bested. 

But that’s just background for the real reason for the post. I had early warning clues that would have saved me the slog up the mountain IF I had only recognized what was happening. 

Here were the early warning clues, that obviously make sense in hindsight. One, the coach felt like it was  “missing” occasionally on an entrance ramp. The “miss” would go away as soon as we were up to speed. Since the engine doesn’t have plugs, wires, or distributor, “miss” is just a way to describe how it felt. Also, at the very top of rolling hills, the coach would “miss” one time. Just one very quick stutter. Most of this happened before I changed out a failing wheel bearing a week ago. I had written off the signs as the wheel bearing having a rough spot. 

Anyway, if I had recognized these as early warning signs, I would have checked the filter housing and noticed it was full all the way to the top of the clear bowl. 

Stay safe out there. And keep spare filters on board!
