Need help on how to send the files on RAD and CAC that Tom posted on the dimensions from Atlas. I am sending to Duralite. Would some one email to me that I can forward on to them in email form. Thanks
Thanks for your help. I am trying to price the CAC at Clark

Ron,
It's a match for my cooler. Part # is DHT NEW510A. Give Clarke Power that
part number and they can price you on it.
Thanks,
Matt

312320.pdf (71 KB) This is the one that is in my coach 04 to the best of my measurement. Drawn in 10/02 approved 10/03
424737.pdf (80 KB) This is the one that you (encantotom) have I think and also was in the 96
You can post if you think this would help
The bid different is in the RAD 5" higher CAC is fraction bigger

I have order a RAD and CAC for #689. I went ahead and order from atlas since I got both pieces. The complete Rad/CAC assembly #312320 current unit price = $3308.
I have a local shop here that will do the install along with some other work. Atlas will be 4-6 weeks to shipping. I am getting to old to do the work myself and think I have found a good shop to do heavy bus work. Will take the coach to Kris in FL to do the upgrades and motor coach things. Everything sometimes needs fixing including the body and the motorhome. We all get old and things happen so look for the brighter side and always remember things could be worse.

I just visited Parliament Coach in Clearwater, FL and spoke with Rick, a service manager there. I asked about the radiator/CAC mounting in the Prevosts and how many failures he has seen. He replied that failures are quite rare and vary by design. The CACs with o-ring seals on the ends have held up the best and provided the best consistency of boost pressure.
The mounting of the radiator is somewhat loose so the radiator is just held in position top and bottom and not constrained end to end. So it would seem for those of us that have concerns it would be wise to check out the specifics of the "cartridge" the Prevosts mount their radiators in. I'll see if I can get back down there - it's only a couple miles from us and get a further description. I didn't have time this morning since the toilet needed an overhaul and momma needed to pee.
I'm currently shopping for a 1995/96. I'm starting to question this because of the radiator/cac issue. Are these failures inevitable? It seems like this almost needs to be considered a regular maintenance item. I'd hate to pass on such a well built machine because of this one issue.
I have had 4 newells from 96-to 2004 models. I had one coach of the four that had an CAC issue of the four. But like all mechanical things. At some point it will break.
