Picking Up A 2002 Country Coach Magna

[Medico]

You can call CC directly to check on the recalls. They can look up the VIN number and let you know what has been recorded for any recalls. Most dealers or service shop when doing a recall will record that recall with CC so they can be paid for it.

that's not bad for the radiator I guess im going to look before I pick it up to see if its aluminum or not. how do I look to see if its a dry or wet pto?

has anyone ran a pittsburg power box on there coach or any other power box?

[krazykiller]

finally got to pick up the coach today and so far I like it. I just need to clean some things up and fix a slide seal and figure out why the radio doesn't work. I did feel like a little kid driving down the road as I was playing with the air horns.

With 505hp on a 37, I really doubt you'll need more power. Even if the Cat could handle it, you'd have to make sure the transmission and differential would be rated for more hp/tq.

Both my son and I love the air horns! Last month I was behind a guy sitting at a red light. I could see inside that he was texting, and after way too long of still being stopped when the light turned green and he was still texting, I laid into the horns! I think he soiled his diaper.

I agree, the "new" yahoo site is horrible, no the new site sucks! I have been looking into getting a new website set up for us CC owners. The hard part would be getting all of the archived data, pictures, etc. moved over

its an adjustable box I where you can dial in your hp. I understand to verify the drive line to see if it will hold but it never hurts to have an extra 125-150hp on tap.
yeah I like the air horn but I have to remember there not a toy and can get in trouble for using them for non emergencies.

if you did this I would toss you some cash to help with the server cost or sign up or whatever needs to be done so I can get rid of yahoo's garbage

well I took the coach down to get the wheel seal fix and to check the pto setup to see if I need the wet kit or not and couple other things.

I need to know where to pickup a new radiator the previous owner didn't take care of the copper/brass and its rotten and needs to be replaced.
who has use a good company to build one?
I talked to source engineering and than said 7k for just the radiator.

does anyone else have a company to call up.
also a good place to buy outside slide seals.

Give Eric, co-owner at Premier RV in Tucson a call. He was at the Country Couch International rally in November, and he had a lot of good information, and talked about which radiator to get as replacements for later year coaches. He used to work at Country Coach before the bankruptcy, and is very knowledgeable. He will give you the straight skinny, whether you buy the radiator through him or not.

I have a new Copper and Steel Radiator and they got it from Radiator Supply House - What can we build for you? at a cost of around $2700 and it was installed at Quinn Cat in Calif. and cost around $2600 Total around $5400 with a coolant flush and Cat EC-1 Rated coolant.
Call Kevin Waite about your seals

well I got my radiator ordered apparently it is one of the biggest radiators and cost 4800 plus shipping and crating. im also going to do the water pump and thermostat since im this far into the cooling system on the coach. I rather do everything once than turn around and keep doing small bits and pieces and waste time.

I called country coach for the seal there cheaper there than Kevin Waite.

I have the coach back and now need to finish up on the things I need to do before I really use the coach. main thing is doing the seals on all 3 slides and then clean the roof and reseal it.
I already replaced the pioneer head unit with a new pioneer but still no sound from any speakers so I need to figure out why that doesn't work.
then just going thru and clean everything up and start putting stuff inside the coach to be ready to go camping.
