I have a 1994 Newell 45 with an 8V92 at HT740 Allison. My transmission is shifting late and I’m assuming it’s a modulator air pressure adjustment. Owner’s manual states it is in the passenger side engine compartment but I can’t find it. 

Anyone have any experience with this?  

Coach 349

My new fangled a/c system arrived yesterday. This is a complete kit sans refrigerant of which I bought a small jug of R134a. We have some rain storms heading in so I will try to get some of this installed or at least figured out where they "should" go.

I have my coaching right now had the tag bushings replaced and also a tag bearing on the driver side and the wheel seals.. they had also called Newell to get the correct ride height adjustments. They are getting it aligned now.They  have those and have it set to what Newell told them. they kind of thought the ride height control valves operated slowly. Is that normal being something different from more of a semi application that they would work on? My coaches 465 He said there was one ride height control valve in the front and one on each side in the rear buy a frame rail. Does anybody know what those part numbers would be on those?

for a number of years darlene and i have hosted a bbq for our friends.   there is no cost as we supply the entire meal of pulled pork, beans, brownies and chips and water.  

all we ask if for you to bring gently used clothing to give to our local food bank thrift store.  last year we had two pickup loads of clothes for them.  they used the thrift store profits to pay for the utilities of the food bank.  it is Saguaro Janes in wittmann.

the date is april 13, saturday from 5 to 9 pm come and go anytime during those times   

last year we had about 125 people attend and it was a lot of fun.  

we would love for any of you that are interested to attend.  just reply here and i will send you the info on it.  

we had a number of gurus last year attend.  no coaches as we will be full of cars.

so let me know so we can make our plans for food.  

we hold it in our shop out back of the house.  

thanks

tom and darlene

Looking for sister coach 740, are you on here??

When Tim Wade was here in my shop and we did the slide seal and other things he got me more interested in Lithium batteries.   he has a very powerful setup in his rig and does alot of dry camping.

so....i am experimenting slowly at first.   when tim was here we used my scissors lift.  the batteries were dead and bloated.   he said....why dont you do a lithium setup in the scissors lift.  so.....

even though many of you have played with them, i have not.  so i started researching.   there are places that sell lithp04  conversion kits for my genie gs1930.....they are 2k dollars.  

then you can buy cheap china 24v batteries.   on a slow boat and according to will prowse and others could be junk.  might not but could be.  

then i talked to jack haupt who evidently has converted everything he owns to lithium.   

then i ran across this fellow in the industrial area of old phoenix.   i went there and bought 3.2v calb ca100 100amp hour cells from him and a daly bms he happened to have.  

his name is trevor and he gurus username is higherwireinc   and his business is https://higherwire.com/     a very classy and smart guy.

i am playing with the scissors lift first and then will decide if i want to do anything with the newell.  trevor is more than willing to help in getting a coach set up with lithium.

the cells i bought were used in forklift batteries.   what i learned is that warehouses want 3 shifts of use from a single charge of an electric forklift.  it saves them time and allows them to have fewer forklifts.  when the battery pack (huge 48v) needs charging in less than 24 hours they immediately replace the pack.  trevor gets them and takes them apart to get at the individual cells, testes them and gets rid of the bad cells and then cells the good ones.  the cells i got from him had the amp hour, resistance and were charged to 3.2 volts.  

my scissors lift had 4 6v golf cart batteries in it.  in my very infrequent use they only last about 3 years.   and they are 500 bucks for the set if you find a good deal.  

they are 220 amp hour.   so if you use the rule of thumb that you get half the amp hours out of them, around a 100 lithium should be ok.  the new genielifts have 90 amp hour ones in them and the kits you buy are 105 amp hours.   i am starting with 100amp hour and have enough cells to do 200 if needed (but will be tight in the battery box)

there is a problem there though.....i am an EE.  so once i started getting into this....i ask too many questions and research too much.  and watch too much youtube and call to many of you guys....ha

so....feel free to contact trevor if you have questions.  he is a very interesting guy.

thats my 2 cents worth and i am sticking to it

Came across these on market place some of you might need them.

looking at buying It, any info on how many owners or issues.?

         Hey guru's do any of you have these tabs on your windows?? Newell told me they were used for latching the windows down while traveling. I've never seen the entire mechanism personally.

I got around to removing the side docking lights and replacing them with LED units. The LED replacements are slightly larger and thicker which made reinstalling the rubber assembly into the coach fender flare a big challenge. I used copious amounts of electrician wire lube but in the end, a Dremel tool was needed to remove some material in the hole to widen it. Glad that is done. Original lights used around 5-6 amps each. These are around 1 amp a piece. Rubber was in very good condition aside from being extremely dirty from years of road debris. I let them soak in a tub of simple green and hand scrubbed them. One of the lights must have been replaced at one point since there is a mismatched color set of rubber boots. Since the pic was taken, I added a 1/4" wire loom to protect the exposed wire and zip tied it to the cross frame. I surely hope I never have to replace these ever again.
