1636 7/26/2005 10:32:30 PM 7/27/2005 Brion Johnston nmbjohnston@aol.com I'm looking at a 76 Newell I have a '79 Newell. The previous owner replaced the Cummins 555 on it with a Cummins 903 with a turbocharger. Mine has several thousand miles on it and it has run very well. I don't think there were any major modifications to make it fit or work - at least the repair records didn't indicate anything significant. I don't know how hard it would be to find a used or rebuilt one or what it would cost, however.

1637 7/27/2005 6:33:34 AM 7/27/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com coach height We would expecct that the overall height to the top of the a/c units or satellite dome on a 2005 Newell is 13' 3" plus or minus an inch. However, common sense dictates that this dimension be confirmed in the field before construction. "Measure twice, cut once."

1639 7/29/2005 5:06:32 PM 7/31/2005 Rich Farr toptin@cox.net Tire load range For Newell tech support - question -
Replacing tires on our 79 Newell 38 foot 2 axle. The weight placard says 12000 max front and 18500 max rear - total 30500lbs. We weighed the coach and it was right at 11000 front and 17000 rear in operating config. All the old tires are load range G. No problem on the rear - but the max weight for Michelin load range G single axle (front) is 12350lbs at 105PSI.
Most trucks use load range G with 12000 lbs on front axle. Question - Is that enough cushion? or should I consider load range H or J for the front?
Thanks in advance.

Q
1640 7/30/2005 9:04:56 AM 7/31/2005 Jon Kabbe jonlt@charter.net I'm looking at a 76 Newell I have a 77 coach with rear twin beds that the previous owner changed from a 555 to a 6V92T. The engine box above the engine had to be widened somewhat so the twin beds had to be raised about 10 inches. Also a much larger rear radiator was installed. I was told it was oversize so that cooling would never be a problem. From the structure around the radiator it's not obvious what changes were made. My sense is that hiring the change done would be tough to justify economically. If you can do the coach and chassis mods yourself it may be entertaining if you love that kind of thing.

1641 7/30/2005 4:37:25 PM 7/31/2005 Ken White admin@LuxuryCoachLifestyle.com I'm looking at a 76 Newell Hi Brian Johnston or anyone else who may want to comment on this post! I have been pondering what to do with my 1976 Newell with the 555? I also own a 1978 with the 6V92T turbo which was switched out by a previous owner in 1986 from a non turbo 6V92. The rated horsepower is 375 and seems to fair well. The 555 in the 1976 only has around 150k miles but has some rattling going on the left side of the engine and smokes gray on that bank, I was thinking of changing the engine out with a modern power plant but since Newell does not really think it's feasable I may consider the Cummins 903 since, if it is easier and does not need the trans changed. I see a lot of 903 engines around, what I'm wondering is what kind of power are you getting out of yours with the turbo?

1645 7/30/2005 7:30:40 PM 7/31/2005 Ken White admin@LuxuryCoachLifestyle.com What year were tags added? I would like to know what year Newell offered the tag axle? What length and engines had the tag axle?

Thank you.

Q
1646 7/31/2005 4:50:44 PM 8/1/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com What year were tags added? The first tag axle (three axle) Newell was built in 1978. The next was not built until 1986, with Detroit Diesel 8V92 power. The coach was a 40 footer. Since then, coaches from 39 ft. have been built with tag axles, although in the late 1980s, coaches up to 40 ft. could also be ordered with two axles.

1648 8/1/2005 4:31:00 AM 8/1/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com Tire load range We suggest that you weigh the coach in loaded configuration and purchase tires to match the loaded weight. You can upgrade, for example to a load range H, but you will need to run at a higher inflation level to get the increase load capacity (remember that the air in the tire supports the weight and reduces sidewall flexing and destructive heat generation; the tread and sidewalls do not carry the load). That said, a couple of observations: across the spectrum of radial truck tires, we have seen the best reliability from Michelin tires. Some other brands have also performed well, although many have not. The most common problem we have seen with this tire type is uneven tread wear on the steer axle. No brand, including Michelin, has been immune to this.
