Just checking to see what 8v92TA owners are seeing for turbo boost . My dash gauge indicates 9 psi max . Coach by itself,  accelerating up a grade . Same boost when accelerating from 60 mph to 80 , slight grade . Still pulling at 80 , but rpm around 2400 , so I backed off .
I have read numbers on the Web from 10 to 25 psi . Dash gauge indicates about 3 psi low when compared to another gauge I use in the shop,  so maybe I have 12psi . 
Just replaced both pipes from manifolds to turbo , no soot evident after test drive just now . 60 degrees , elevation about 400 ft , give or take. All new fuel filters . 
BTW,  no exhaust smoke , usual indicator of low boost /turbo issue .
Thanks ,
Chris

Hello all ,
Wondering if anyone knows of a source for the aluminum trim and vinyl insert found on Classic  exterior? I have searched the site to no avail .
Thanks , Chris.

Reman 6V92 T Detroit Diesel for sale I have 2K into it Make me an offer

I have had a couple of older Foretravels (93 and 95) and with my new wife we decided to get another RV. Choices were another Foretravel or a Newell or Prevost. I'm never going to be a new RV owner even if I won the lotto. Unfortunately the newer Foretravels quality and design has gone down after 2005 with the new owners. Pretty quickly we decided on Newell. There was a time around 2005 when I was looking at RVs, the owner of Newell would text online, which really impressed me.
Anyway, we expect to buy a 2005 or 2006 in the next 6 to 18 months. I'm trying to stay in the $250-300K range. 2005 because they shifted over to the Cat 15 liter and especially the ZF tag axle.
I am interested in finding out which years they switched to the 12 speed trans, and the electric steering. I figure I will run across that info here...
I've slowed my texting the last few years without a motorhome - I was a Foretravel guru for about 10 years. Not sure I will ever be a Newell guru, but I'm happy to talk to some!

I have a dual fan style blower under my bathroom sink that provides exhaust from bathroom and the stove.  It is a 12 volt fan, I attached a picture.   I also attached a picture of what I think is the exact replacement but it is no longer available.  If I am correct this puts the blower at 700 cfm on 12v.  

Has anyone replaced this blower?  Did you find a replacement, rebuild the existing or did you use something different?

After having driven a S60 with 6 speed Allison I'm a bit perplexed by something.  My understanding was that the optimal range for using the Jake was around 2000 RPM up to a safe maximum of around 2200.  When cruising along at 65 or so and heading down a long slight grade in which the coach itself will not hold itself back in 6th without either braking or the Jake the Jake wants to downshift 2 gears into 4th and that takes you to darned near 2500 RPM.  One would assume that the controller on the unit would not let the trans downshift to an unsafe RPM for the engine, but I have not seen an reference in anything I've read that it's ok to operate at that high of an RPM on a regular basis?

I can't for the life of me understand why it's programmed to drop to 4th automatically as there are so many times that a less agressive breaking would be preferred.  Would to be so much better if it either stayed in 6th initially with a slight uptick in speed triggering 5th and/or braking on top of that should make it drop to 4th.

Just bought a 1992 45ft Newell coach that needs front airbags. I have some part numbers but, want to verify they are correct before ordering? I have Goodyear # 1R11.066 or Firestone # W01-358-8992. Does anyone know if these are the correct airbag part numbers for the front of this coach? Thanks

1986 40' Classic #121 with a Perkins Diesel Generator. I need to replace the sound deadening insulation in my generator compartment as it is crumbling and falling off. Anyone have any experience with this project? What material did you use? I will likely pull the whole generator and engine out to get good access.

I am looking at purchasing #1253. It was owned by a Nascar driver. I have spoken with Newell as it had been serviced in Oklahoma during its life. This unit is in Florida and I will see it on Monday. I currently have a Newmar DP and want to make sure I am checking out this bus to make sure I know what I am getting into. I am going to have it inspected if I proceed but wanted to see if this group has some input on what to look for. I also am curious if any other Newell's  available for under 500K.

Eloy, Arizona between Tucson and Phoenix has a Travel Centers of America Truck Stop with a "CAT" certified scale. (certified by the State of Arizona).  I'd not weighed our Newell so stopped in.  The scale operator provided specific instructions and with the overall scale divided into multiple segments which could weigh each axle individually I was able to get the weights of each axle.
I had been told by a previous owner that #1202 2007 Boomer weighed 63,500. That number had recently been brought into question.  As it turns out:
Steer-18,140, Drive-23,260, Tag-13,800 totaling=55,200.  That was with about 50 gallons of water, 170 gallons of fuel, and loaded for travel.  

Now to recalculate the tire pressures based upon the data and tire manufacturer's recommendations.
