Gang,

I noticed I was not getting a reading from my water pressure gauge. It is plumbed in right by my Headhunter pump.

Then, I noticed that there is a liquid (water?) inside the gauge.

Two questions: 1) Is this liquid normal for our application? and 2) can anyone provide a source for this gauge? I looked online and it seems as if lots of gauges are made with glycerin inside the gauge.

The pump is operating normally and I get water so it is probably a bad gauge...but wanted to learn something in the process of replacing.

Cheers,
bill

Well dropped off the stacker to the gentlemen who bought it. Fought a 30-40 mph headwind. Avg. 3 miles to the gallon last 350 miles of trip. Lol but found and bought another stacker. I'll get it in another 2 weeks. May actually keep this one. But now I have a huge dilemma . We leave denver tomorrow but I don't have anything to pull my wife's sl home with. The plan was to buy a cheap trailer and drive it back and sell,it. Well all good plans have an error. And mine is my wife found a sl65 amg. Beautiful car so if we buy it tomorrow we have to figure out how to get 2 cars home.. Anybody know any shippers or trailers for sale here?.

Saw a late model red and black westbound I-40 this morning around Santa Rosa, NM

I have an appointment with Newell the Monday before our gathering in Ark. to check the gaps on my slides along a few other things such as air bags, etc. It seems that the gap at the bottom of both slides are much lower than at the top. They are almost touching the body. Mike at Newell said they would check the plastic inserts that they ride on for wear. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi you all,
We own Coach 197, a 1989 Coach. We have been living in the coach for about ten years, although we now spend summers in our home in Maine.
This is our second Newel, the first being a 1978 38.5 footer we purchased in 1995.
We have loved both our Newells. Perhaps 50% of our enjoyment has been in working with the Newell Corporation for service. They have done a great job for us, even in repairing obsolete systems in the coach. We try to get back to the factory annually.
Having done a lot of maintenance ourselves, we are anxious to share experiences and ideas with other owners.

Will be in Miami tomorrow for a quick toilet fix and then off to colorado, to deliver the stacker. Also to look at a new one then back to Miami where she will sit for a week and get a few things fixed.

A lot of work

   

I replaced the drag link ends and tie rod ends on the dana ifs 84 suspension on 512. I felt free play at dead center in the steering at dead center and I could visibly observe movement in the drag ling ends. This suspension was also used on some country coaches and Henderson sells the parts. Yes, I know, I probably could have gotten them cheaper. I am providing the old parts to Ron Skeen and he can find a different source.

Here is the problem. On both 390 and 512 I always had a built in speed control. The coach would get out of its comfort zone somewhere between 66 and 68 mph. It was tactile feedback to decrease pressure applied by right foot.

Well, with the new steering links, the coach is composed up to 80. I stopped there because my speed alert alarm system (Rhonda) was activating.

I still have a minute amount of center free play. I would say 1 to 2 degrees. I have disassembled the steering column and it is NOT the u joints. They are tight. However I think it is the splined connection in the lower column. My setup has an adjustable length column to get from the top u joint to the steering box. I am gong to figure out how to remove that free play. I am thinking to tap and thread the outer column and uses a couple of bolts to tighten it up.

We saw you eastbound on I64 just out of Lex KY, Thursday afternoon May 1.

Here is an ad I saw on another site & thought some one might be interested.

Cleaning out some of my spare stuff. I used the Silverleaf system to monitor engine information and diagnostics. I connected it to a cheap Dell Inspiron duo (laptop with a flip screen) and it worked great. I monitored complete set of engine data and diagnostics running down the road.

VMSpc JIB (JS501)
