First, let me introduce myself. My name is Mike, my wife's name is Barbara, we live three hours east of the Mothership in Louisiana.
I have been a member of the forum for a few years and this is my first post. I have recently acquired a 1997 U295 36ft with the 8.3 and I immediately went to work on it. I'm changing all the fluids and filters, radiator hoses etc. After changing the hoses I began filling the radiator to run it a while so I could flush it out. That's when I noticed water leaking under the coach. Well, it seems it's time for a new transmission cooler, sure glad I found out at the house and not on the side of the road! I've tried to use the search to see if I could find where to get one with no luck. The part # is not legible and I've had no luck with google. Any help to find a reasonably price replacement would be greatly appreciated.
I've been lurking on the forum and I must say I've been rather impressed with the knowledge of its members and the willingness to help each other. Looking forward to learning more about my coach as I plan on doing most all repairs myself. Thank you all in advance.
Mike
You can always try Foretravel and someone may come up with a better place.
Rocore is the brand. I found one NOS (new old stock) on eBay that was MUCH cheaper than from Rocore. Mine is a model 5-7024B. It has an aluminum body with bolt on ends instead of the welded steel body on the original. It is also longer than the original so I had to do a little rerouting of hoses, but has better cooling capacity and it works great. YMMV
Depending on were the corrosion is it may be affordable to get it reskined.
