american eagle diesel pusher breakdown on the road
I am traveling with some friends in the Denver area who had a bracket that holds the fan unit break a bolt and the fan dropped into the shroud which we think threw a broken piece into the radiator (side). Lost all water and had it towed into Breckenridge,Co. Does anyone know of a repair place that could deal with this problem in the Denver area. It is a 45' American Eagle diesel pusher.

Since no one else has offered any suggestions I will toss this out to you.
Even though I don't have a Freightliner coach, I have had my best luck at Freightliner Oasis dealers. If I was in your situation I would probably contact either TRANSWEST TRUCKS 7626 BRIGHTON RD. COMMERCE CITY, CO 80022 Transwest
Or TRANSWEST TRUCK TRAILER RV 7550 EAST I-25 FRONTAGE ROAD FREDERICK, CO 80516 Transwest Truck, Trailer, RV of Frederick
Spent 4 days at Freightliner in Chandler AZ while they pulled and repaired my radiator. I would have liked it to go faster but had to wait on extended warranty.

I agree with prior post. This is more an issue with Freightliner than it is with Cummins. The fan assembly and radiator are provided by Freightliner when the chassis was built. What year is the American Coach? The coach could still be under Freightliner warranty.

Would it not be more of an issue with Spartan Chassis?

It is a 1999 Spartan, it is now at the Fredrick shop and may get fixed today. The shop has been very helpful to my friends. Thank you all for the heads up, will post results when we find out details.

They were able to get the rig repaired although had some issues waiting on lost freight. The repairs were finished at 11;00pm Friday night and they headed for home. Nothing but good things to say about the staff/mechanics. Thanks again for all you folks help.
