1999 XC Chassis Radiator Removal (Newmar DSDP)
Well, it happened. Atleast we're in our driveway. Radiator weeping while warm/hot. Hopefully its just a re-core. Looking for help as to which direction this thing has to be pulled (towards engine or away) what needs removed. Etc. Tried multiple searches and havent turned up anything. I'm getting on this first thing in the morning.
Thank you
Aaron

Aaron, I haven’t had to remove my side rad ( replaced before my purchase), side grill is hinged to raise up, and the from what I’ve seen, plastic closure panels come out, hydraulic cooler shifted to the side, then support brackets off , hoses off, and rad should drop down.
I’m on the road , without internet, so if you have any issues, post pictures and I’ll get back as soon as possible.
Edit: BTW, OEM rad had plastic tanks, so if you have a metal tank rad , it’s already been replaced.

Ugly
Not a pretty picture. Much driving on salted roads? I've never seen fins rotted away like that.

Hi Art. I'm guessing that's the case. Coach started its life in oregon. We're the 4th owners. Might have seen a bunch possibly. A bunch of the hardware is not happy coming apart right now for sure

But camping right on the ocean “ is so much fun “!
Good luck with the removal. I have the radiator part number at home on another computer, I’ll post it when I get there.

Electric cooling fan on the hydraulic rad is diy add on, some modifications were made to the plastic shrouds by whoever installed the rad in my coach. Not sure if the changes were required by the metal tanks.

Why any manufacturer, decided to use “ inverted torx head bolts “ is beyond me.
Probably a kickback from the tool manufacturer.

Great work .
I do have some questions.
Do you know your chassis date of manufacture ?
Was the rad part number tied to your chassis serial number ?
I ask because , although every picture you've posted could be of my chassis , somehow the P/N for the rad I got from DTNA Connect isn't the same .
My Feb 99 production chassis, rad number , is VAB 1003190
I do know from conversations with other DSDP owners there were major wiring and gauge package changes Jan 1 ,1999; and with Newmar producing coaches from Aug 98 sold as 99s. Perhaps other parts and pieces went onto the, Freightliner production line at the same time.( Jan 1,99)
If you can still get to the rad could you post the measurements ?
Length , height . TIA.
