RE: Charge Air Cooler - cwl1979 - 11-20-2024

Not relevant to what you're dealing with but, I was coming out of Valdez Alaska once while driving commercially, and blew a CAC. Of course with nothing nearby and no way to turn around i had to keep going. I went to the next town and stopped at the store there, grabbed some JB weld and "patched" the split. Lasted 3 more runs while the shop ordered me a new one. It did end up blowing again as i was making my last run but... I might have been pulling 115K up over a mountain. I swear that engine never ran as good as it did with a 12 inch tear in the CAC.

Newell quoted about $3000 plus freight. Where is people's choice for cac?

It has been several years, but Atlas Radiator in Corpus Cristi provided me with a radiator and a CAC. it was my understanding that for my '99 coach they were the original manufacturer. Both items fit perfectly.

In a pinch you can bypass the CAC with a tube of same size in and out but baby the motor to keep the boost down till you can replace it.

back in town, will start process of ckecking which version I have. Atlas says could be one of two setups. Please send pictures/info if you can. Trying to get this done before jan. Need to order once I figure out unit.
