Gates Coolant Hose PNs to cross to Oshkosh Repair Manual?

July 25, 2011, 05:19:08 pm

So I called the Foretravel parts department to ask them if they could supply me with all the hoses for my cooling system.  They referred me to Freightliner stating this is my only option.  I called Freightliner of Round Rock, TX and they couldn't identify ANY of the PNs I supplied them.  I'm trying to find someone that can help me identify either OEM or aftermarket hoses from Gates/wherever.  Do any of you have a similar Grand Villa to mine and maybe already did this?  I have a 1989 38' ORED with 3208T.  Here are the details...

Truck Model - V-917-2
FSO-4953
Chassis Serial # - 36168

Coolant Hoses
47337AX - Hose 15" Engine to Air Compressor
47337AX - Hose 26" Engine to Air Compressor
47334AX - Hose 45" Water Filter Out
47334AX - Hose 50" Water Filter In
47339AX - Hose 68" Converter to Oil Cooler Hot
47339AX - Hose 94" Torque Converter Oil Cooler to Filter In
47339AX - Hose 14" Filter Out to Torque Converter
2794HX - Hose 31"
12160FX3 - Hose (qty:2)
1377670 - Hose (qty:1)
62497AX - Hose 4"

I also did just a pure google search on the PNs.  They came up with some PDFs from Oshkosh, but the number listed on the PDF was too a flower shop.  Go figure.

Tried the site earlier today, but all that's on it is filters and belts for my year model.

Howdy Benjie, 
  We used to own a SOB on a Oshkosh (Freightliner) chassis.  I feel your pain on dealing with Freightliner, but they, Freightliner, does have a RV "friendler" customer service number.  I'm sorry, due to water imersion incident with my cell phone, I've lost the phone number..Might try Google, or ask the Freightline dealership for the RV customer service number.
Good Luck, Dave Abel

Jimmy, thanks for the suggestion!  I believe it helped with a few of the PNs, but won't know for sure until I'm able to purchase and compare.  Still looking for the following...

2794HX - Hose 31"
1377670 - Hose (qty:1)
62497AX - Hose 4"

I believe the last two are straight so can probably find a substitute, but the 2794HX looks to be a molded hose.  Not sure I'm going to find a substitute for that!

Anyone have any suggestions for replacing out of date molded hoses that are 31" long?
