bill, the problem i had was hoses. but.....the concern is that there is a lot of radiator and CAC failures in the series 60 newells and prevots and wanderlodges. all of them are side mount.
my 8v92 was a rear mount. i have not heard of any failures on it.
our guess (and others on other forums) is that since it is not mounted in any type of flexible bushing etc, that the flexing of the coach itself is enough to over time cause some issues with cracking since it is solid mounted. and there is going to be more flexing on the side than at the back.
i got a quote last year from atlas for a new radiator/cac (both of them) for 2700 but i assume that does not include shipping. back then he said he could ship in 1-2 weeks.
what i dont know is if the rad/cac on mine has ever been worked on before. i have 200k miles. couldnt tell from when we worked on it.
