Not my coach.
Never seen a Cummins in a 1998 Newell. I also noticed a manual shifter??
Colors are for something special

Interesting for sure. I am sure someone must have ordered this with this combo. The shifter is just a standard cable shifter, they must have used an older mechanical transmission instead of a computer controlled transmission. I do not know Cummins well enough, but I would guess its probably a mechanical engine and thats why they went with a mechanical transmission. Hopefully its an Allison 750, if so that would be a great combo. I am not a Cummins guy but they are good reliable engines.
Looking closer at it, it has a 2 speed reverse, its labeled RL and RH. That is like a dump truck transmission. Very specialized for sure.
