If I turn the ignition switch on but don’t start the engine and turn the dashac on.
I can hear the condenser fan running and what sounds like perhaps a vacuum pump cycling on and off.
Is there a vacuum pump which operates the dash air dampers?
If so where is it located?

Lower left marker light has been out for a while. Investigated the issue last weekend.

    Yo

Step one, replace burned out bulb... nope, not it. 

Step two, check for power... no power... look harder

Step three, discover wire harness resting on exhaust pipe burning its way through the wire harness. 

Save yourself time, trouble, and money. Inspect your wiring harness with emphasis on those in close proximity to hot systems.

We were driving westbound on U S. 101 just about to leave Port Angeles when we spotted a late 60's Newell pulling out of a gas station.  A few miles drown the road he caught up with us and we both pulled off the road. We were privileged to meet Richard and Tammy,  the new owners of this 25' 1967 Newell.  They paid $1,000 for it. Richard was able to get the Ford Industrial running just a few days ago, so this was their maiden voyage. He is also working on the interior.

I would like to add 2 acrylic handles, 1 on the door itself, and 1 as you go up the steps on the right side.  I have seen these in a few coaches and would like to know if anyone knows where I might be able to find them at.  If anyone has any info please let me know!
I'm not getting any younger!

Thanks
Pam

Hello, All,
I am looking at a 2002 40' Newell with two slides and need some advise. While I know the coach #, I hesitate to write it in order to protect the owner's privacy.

In addition to any opinions and/or suggestions may share, I have some specific questions:
Would a 2002 have IFS?
Is the skin aluminum or fiberglass?
I take it that a 2002 doesn't have steerable tag
Does the generator have an auto start?

Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning.

Yesterday I finished the installation of a WALKER AIRSEP (KWOTR-10R) for 744’s Cat C13 ACERT. 
Not a complicated installation, I had to fabricate a bracket for mounting it in the right side engine compartment. I purchased it last year when I noticed a small pool of oil underneath the engine. Under further investigation I found the “slobber tube” was only partially responsible, a good majority of the oil was from a leaking seal which was resolved. Non the less the AIRSEP will be a good Addition to the Cat. 

walkerairsep.com 

Here’s a blurb from Walkers website:

The Airsep® Air/Oil Separator eliminates crankcase emissions by actually closing the crankcase on your diesel engine. The Airsep® is the only current system with a patented design that uses induction air to coalesce the hot oil vapor into liquid. 

The Airsep® reduces crankcase pressure, causing the engine to operate in a vacuum. The direct benefits include reduction or elimination of most seal leaks, less lube oil being forced by the rings into the cylinders, and reduction of oil being vented through the crankcase breathers.

When the Airsep® removes the lube oil from the blowby gases, the remaining water vapor and raw diesel fuel is re-inducted into the air intake system. On turbocharged and aftercooler engines, this helps prevent the build-up of grit on the turbocharger blades, or the accumulation of oil residue in the aftercooler. Finally, the inducted water vapor reduces the temperature of combustion, which results in increased engine efficiency.



Note: The AIRSEP oil drain needs a avenue back to the engine case. I was able to locate and remove a case plug for this purpose. 
I mounted the bracket I built to the coach frame but failed to verify it was square with the coach in travel mode. I had to modify the base of the bracket to level out the unit. Someday I might build another bracket that doesn’t require the shim to level things out... someday... 

My dad always had a Walker Air Oil Separator on his airplanes. I know they worked because I was responsible for keeping the belly clean. The AIRSEP has benefits beyond containing oil and such but I’m looking forward to a cleaning up the engine compartment and finding other things that leak!

My 2020 Pandemic mods include the Big Boss Tuner and Walker AIRSEP. I’ll keep you posted on my findings when we head out to the Rockies this year.

Today 9/7/2020 I received in part the following email.
It's good to see that we will still have someone out there continuing to supply these critical parts for our coaches.

" Rick and Stephen sold Dupree Products last week and we (new owners) have forwarded all the emails to a support account.

We're going to re-open the website in the next day or two and will be adding products for sale as we get up and running."  Signed Braden

I feel like an idiot because I don't know the answer to my question. I own a 1986 all mechanical Newell. It had the DD 8V92 and Allison HT740 transmission.  Long story short, I decided to replace the drive train. I bought a Denver RTD 2000 transit bus with a Cummins ISM and ZF Ecomat 2 transmission for a driveline swap. It came with an I/O Controls Dinex G multiplex system. For those interested, it's a 2000 Orion V with a Cummins ISM and ZF Ecomat 2 HP HP592C transmission.

We've got the ISM and ZF transmission in the 86 Newell, but not getting the transmission to shift into any gear. The Newell is in Missouri and I'm in Boise Idaho. I've got bids, and it's $7500 to tow it to Boise for me to diagnose. My alternative is to drive my Range Rover to Missouri with adequate tools to diagnose the problem.

To my knowledge, all I need is the transmission ECU and engine ECU communicating with J1939 CAN bus for it to work. Fortunately, J1939 is relatively standardized, unlike auto manufactures with their CAN bus messages. I have the tools to monitor the CAN bus messages, but want to make sure that if I load up my Range Rover with my tools and monitoring software I'll be able to get my coach operable.

Obviously with my 1986 Newell I don't need a PLC logic ladder to prevent me from pulling away from the curb because my non-existant wheelchair ramp is extended.
