UPDATE 5/27/09:
  We are now finding on some of the 2008 cummins that the PTO is mounted on the drivers side of the transmission. This  is the same system and is also in need of the PTO wet kit upgrade. Please contact us if you have any questions.

 I have spent a considerable amount of time researching as many coaches as I can, from the 04 Inspire to the newest Affinity. The following is a brief summary of the findings.

I have found that on coaches with the Cummins engines and Allison transmission from late 04 do have the Chelsea PTO that is running a dry spline. In addition the coaches with a Cat C-9 and larger with the Allison also run the Chelsea PTO with only the HYD pump attached to it. What I have found on the Cat is that there also have been many failures of the spline assembly at around 18,000 miles. If this failure should occur it can be quite expensive to repair. Presently it can take 6 to 8 days to get a new HYD pump depending on your configuration. By adding the wet spline kit prior to a failure it can save you a few thousand dollars or more and lots of down time. Should you have a HYD pump failure I have found a distributor that can supply the new pumps and I do have PTO wet kits available.

Although the power steering is not run by the PTO on all coaches. It does operate the HYD fan for the engine cooling and Allison transmission systems. A failure will cause an over heat of these systems and could strand you in an unsafe situation along the roadside.

If you have any questions about the systems on your coach please call or email us. We are here to answer all your questions.

    Neither the PTO manufacturer nor the Hyd pump Manufacturer is taking any part in warranty of any kind at this time. The parts are being made available by these componant manufacturers but you must pay. I have spent a good amount of time contacting service centers and setting up a referral network to help you get this up grade.

I have also assembled an upgrade wet kit for the PTO this includes the necessary parts for converting the PTO to a wet lube system

 

  What we are offering is not referred to as a recall. The original recall also consists of replacing the hyd pump should it fail and relocating the power steering to the back of the air compressor on the engine.You will see in the NHTSA post on our Hot Topics Chssis page that there has been an amendment to the recall filed by country coach and accepted by NHTSA. It states that the power steering pump is no longer required to be moved. This will eliminate a costly and unnessassary repair. If there has been no failure then the Hyd pump should not need replaced at this time. This can be a quite expensive repair.

  As for the PTO time will tell but chances are it will fail if not upgraded to a wet lube system.

  I have put together a kit to upgrade the PTO to a wet lube system. These are the components that are recommended by Chelsea and Saurer - Danfoss the component manufactures. I have also set up a network of Service centers to do this upgrade. The labor involved takes less than 4 hours depending on the configuration of your coach. We can set you an appointment with one of these service centers and ship the parts directly to them or you which ever works best for your needs.  If you have a service center that you trust and depend on we would be more than happy to discuss and train them to help insure you get the quaility work you seek. Just give us a call we are here to help you!!!
