This is a direct response to the original poster, Anytime RV Life.
I am not known for tact. I am known for diagnostic ability. The time spent diagnosing a problem is WAY cheaper than the parts cannon.
This is your first post on this forum, we do not know you or any of the circumstances behind this situation. You have posted in the Emergency Help section. The forum members take those posts very seriously and respond quickly, because we think you need emergency help.
Your responses and terminology would lead one to believe that you are very new to the coach, very new to diesel pushers, and/or new to hands on mechanical work.
We can help you best IF you will take the time to carefully answer the following questions. The help you get will depend upon the detail of the answers you provide, so find a keyboard and don't do this on the phone.
What is the number of the coach, look at the last four digits of the VIN. 1994 happens to be the year that Newell switched from 8V92 engines to Series 60, the answers to your questions are HIGHLY dependent on which engine you have.
How long have you have the coach?
Where are you physically located?
What is your background with regard to RVing? with regard to mechanical skills? with regard to electrical skills?
Who diagnosed that you need a new compressor and dryer? Please provide as much info as possible. This is going to get expensive fast, and you may be spending time and money that doesn't fix the problem.
Post a picture of the coach. We don't care really about the picture, but to use this forum successfully, you need to know how to post pictures of what you are talking about.
