We just acquired coach #795 (4 slide front entry) and what to know if there is a certain order used to extend or retract the slides, and if so what is the reason for the special order.

Since I've owned this 93 coach the dash heat has been pathetic, barely keeping us comfortable when it's less than 55 outside.

I changed the boost pump due to a noisy bearing - no change in heat output.

I overhauled the solenoid valve at the inlet to the pump - no change in heat output.

While finishing the solenoid overhaul I noticed that the engine coolant shutoff valve feeding the pump and solenoid didn't make nearly as many rotations before it came to a stop. I had operated this valve in the past but never noticed the small number of rotations until it came to a stop. I then could feel that the stem wasn't extended nearly as far as the other valve - can't see the stem due to location. In attempting to remove the handwheel I discovered that by tapping the bottom of the handwheel with a small hammer the valve would open a few more turns. After many iterations of this the stem appeared to match the extension of the other shutoff valves. I now have real heat.

I own coach 665 and out of complete curiosity, wondered if newell made a coach numbered 666 or if they skipped to 667?

All I know is I would not purchase it!

Does any one know?

The Poll is

Now that you are a Newell owner for awhile, if purchasing again would you

A) Choose a Newell or SOB ?

B) Choose based on the "Best Price" ?

C) Buy Only from the Factory or a Dealer for "Warranty" coverage ?

D) No matter, I just want the best looking condition ("looking" is key as we never really know what can happen when you drive off)...

Does anyone know the HP of the blower motor, or the Grainger part number for the motor? I think I am losing a bearing in the motor.

Well it's my turn. I've been having an issue with the engine running hot since I left the rally. Had to stop a few times on I-70 to cool down. Crossed Hoosier pass with no problems, a few other passes ok but hotter than it should be. Left Alamosa, CO this morning and crossed LaVeta pass ok, temp got to 212 degrees. But on I-25 crossing Raton Pass I had to pull over twice to cool down. Also noticed the engine only putting out 17 psi max boost pressure. Before this it was putting out 24+ psi. I'm blowing a lot of black smoke also. The Detroit prodriver is not showing any codes and the VMSpc is also not showing any error codes.
I have an appointment in Lufkin to have the engine and radiator checked and repaired if necessary on Monday.
My question is this: we're in Amarillo for a couple days but is it safe to continue driving to Nacogdoches?
I'll check the engine oil and coolant level once it cools down.
Other than the engine temps and the loss of boost pressure the engine is running ok.
