Well… since you asked… 

#744 officially has a completely refurbished undercarriage, radiator, and CAC. All rotors and brake pads are new. All Drive tires are new and Steers and Tags are relatively new. 

The compound turbo system now produces 50 psi of boost. Lots of get up and go… Cooling system is performing better as well. 

With new steer axle control arms and bushings, front end stability has greatly improved. 

Last I knew my TAG accumulator pressure is set to 15 bar per ZF specifications, the TAG works great. 

HERE’S THE BEST NEWS OF ALL!!! 
My most recent service for the coach is a fantastic all axle alignment that has transformed how the coach drives. I’ve only put a couple hundred of mikes in the seat but I’m blown away. 

I literally found the “Alignment Whisperer” Bill Rajewski at Perry Legend Collision and Repair Center, Columbia Missouri. Bill is a wonderfully knowledgeable person. I really enjoyed our conversations about my bus and his ability to explain the “Why” is fabulous. 

Bill had never aligned a Newell. I put together a collection of my ZF Service Manuals in a binder and sent them to him. He took it from there. 

Bill and his expert technician Paul quickly identified why I was not happy how my coach handled. Long story short, the tag axle was heading right, the drive axle was headed left, and the steer axle was just not right. 

I’m just blown away how it drove. I left Columbia Tuesday heading down to Springfield Missouri for more service work. The route is hilly and lots of turns. Four lane and winding two lanes. The coach handled it all wonderfully. I’m a happy camper! 

As I continue to drive the coach I’ll provide updates. I make minor corrections, the bus just drives down the road. I’m tickled to death… 

Thanks for asking!!!
