for those of you that are running the upgraded 365's on the front, what tire pressure are you running?

thanks

tom

gee, i know it is mine, but i still get excited about it.

yesterday i took her to all aboard america where leo took care of a few things for me. the dash air had been leaking freon and he found a back hose crimp on the front evaporator. fortunately he has the crimping tool to do it. worked good afterwards so far.

we changed the entrance steps.

looked for air leak on the front drivers side airbag, but could not find anything

adjusted the ride height valves. they are a gigantic pain in the neck on mine. i need lots of time and shop air to get them right. they take quite a while to go back and forth.

ended up i had a flat tire on the drive axle inner passenger side. filled it up and took it to jack at redburn tire (truck place) in mesa. great shop and i would highly recommend it. it is where i do all my newell tires. they took it off and dunked it but no leaks. ended up being the valve extension. both the bus shop and this tire shop will not use them. but i have to in order to get the pressure pro sensor on it.

they are not easy to find and i had the local napa order one in for me.

here are a few pictures of the dirty beast. this next week i will spend some time detailing her.

later

MOT has a nice looking 2002 Newell for sale with rear bath. Must have just got in. $239,500. New paint and very nice looking. Chappell

i am an audio geek. the bedroom just had a pair of the ADS speakers in it for the TV. so to go along with the LG 42" 3D lcd tv that michael installed for me, i added a yamaha av reciever with hdmi switching, 5 Mirage Nanosat speakers and a yamaha sub. it sounds really nice.

the niles audio IR repeater was on the fritz. the niles audio ones are really expensive. i replaced it with a complete system from monoprice for 30 bucks and it worked great.

i wire managed it and put the wall all back together. i do not have the bedroom all finished but it is done enough to travel.

Anyone know about this coach?
A friend was wondering If I knew anything about it.
http://www2.svherald.com/classifieds/tra...s_campers/

On my 99, what is the fuel tank capacity? Also I have not been able to find my fresh water or waste water capacity in the manuels I received with the coach. Chappell

This applies to Newells from the early 90s through about 2004. This will not apply to anyone who has replaced their taillights with LEDs. This is for those that are still using the original red Truck-Lite #07081 bus lights in the taillight and stop light positions. These are sealed beams. No bulb to replace, must replace entire light.

I had a taillight burn out. I removed it and did a continuity check on the three connectors. One position is marked "ground", one marked "minor" and one marked "major". To my surprise there are two filaments in each sealed beam--one for the taillight and one for the stop light. I was able to take the one with the burnt out taillight filament and exchange it with the one in the stop light position. They now both work without replacing the sealed beam.

Hope this helps someone.....................

My outside temp. gage on the dash has stopped working and I was wandering how to get to it. I removed the 4 screws holding all the gages but doesn't seem to want to come out. My tranmission gage stopped working and had it replaced. This gage is beside it and was working before before I had the other gage replaced. So I hope it is just a loose connection. Thanks for any help. Chappell

Brenda and I headed north in texas on Hwy 281. Going thru Jacksboro, around a curve- saw an early Newell parked- for a while.

Today I purchased diesel for $3.669. Regular unleaded gasoline was $3.859. Been a long time since diesel was that much cheaper than gasoline!
