Q
1788 11/9/2005 3:34:49 PM 11/11/2005 Barry Rooker brooker@cox.net Checking VIN # for Newell Diesel Pushers There's lots of info in the VIN. I think that 1N9 is Newell at the DOT. Then the length appears. Mine says, "458" for 45'8". Then go to the last four numbers and backup, you'll find the last two digits of the year model. The last three digits run in sequence & are the s/n everyone uses. There's probably even more info contained in the VIN.

1792 11/11/2005 9:13:34 AM 11/11/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com electronic odometer There is a gear-driven sender located on the side of the transmission. It is wired to the speedometer/odometer. However, since the speedo works, it sounds like the problem is in the head rather than the sender. I suggest you call Newell Service on their toll-free number, 1-888-363-9355 and speak with a service advisor. They can discuss the diagnosis in more detail, and arrange to send you a new speedometer head if that is the agreed approach.

1799 11/20/2005 4:27:30 PM 11/21/2005 arthur hendey anshendey@verizon.net front headlampss on '86 Newell I need to order/replace 4 headlamps for a 1986 Newell (casings, bulb, and rubber bordering seal, that holds it in place). I removed one of the bad headlamps- located on the bottom of the front of the vehicle, and it has a seriel # E6 Valeo 63125003, made in France stamped in black found on the top of the golden lamp (on the metal part). Found on the inside- or back- of the thick glass lens cover are rows of vertical stripes- or lines- with the outline of a cat's head inside a circle in the center of the glass. On the outside of the glass there is TOP, SAE F77 (in small letters) and underneath that are the numbers 950, in big numerals, with IODE (med. letters) and sev marchal in small letters. All located in the center of the glass. To the left (when facing the glass) is the letter B inside a square, under that an E2 inside a circle, and under that the number 67. Better make that 5 (one extra just in case). Can I order it directly from Newell or can someone refer me to where they can be obtained? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Q
1801 11/21/2005 5:54:30 AM 11/21/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com front headlampss on '86 Newell The headlights in Newell motorcoaches from 1981 through 1989 models are the very ordinary, rectangular dual headlights popular in many cars through the late 1970s and 1980s. For example, the Chevrolet Caprice used these headlights in the 1977 models on for several years. That said, from your description, you may be trying to replace the fog/driving lights that were mounted below the headlights in the bumper. In that case, you can select whatever replacement light you wish that fits the opening and meets your needs.

1809 11/25/2005 3:58:42 AM 11/25/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com Checking VIN # for Newell Diesel Pushers The current Federally-mandated VIN system was implemented in 1980. Prior to 19890, manufacturers were free to devise their own systems for constructing VINs. We turned this specific question over to Marcia, our now retired, long-time customer secretary. She has responded as follows:

"800RE1032D2537N" - I think this is probably 3800RE1032D2537N meaning 38 foot, rear engine, 1032 (the actual serial number that you keep track of), D for diesel, 253 inch wheelbase, built in July 1979 if N is indeed the code number for 1979. I don't have the numbers to go by, but by doing the math on my fingers, I think N does stand for 1979.

Q
1812 11/26/2005 6:52:54 AM 11/30/2005 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com 1997 Newell clearance The clearance required for Newells can vary as more than one ceiling height was offered during many years. The maximum, with roof air conditioners on a late model coach, is 13' 2". When generally recommend a 14' door to be safe. Anything under about 13' 6" makes it prudent to measure the coach and the door very carefully.
