Hydraulic cooler

[Kevin Higgins]

This is my first time posting so I’m not exactly sure I’m doing it correctly. I have a 2006 Beaver patriot thunder 42 foot my hydraulic cooler is leaking. I’m in the Salt Lake City area does anybody know of a repair shop or a place I can purchase a new one. I’m in an RV park now but I’m headed towards Boise in the morning not sure if I can make it that far or not. I’ve had this problem before and repaired twice I’m ready for a new one. Thanks Kevin

I believe Warner is now one of the many Premier Truck Group facilities.  It’s been a number of years since Warner serviced our coach, but they got us right in, the young diesel tech was excellent, friendly, and considerate while we were allowed to remain in the coach during his work, and the service manager gave us a great price.  That said, when companies change hands, management systems usually do also.

BTW, the Service Provider Guide is in the Private BAC Members Only section of the Home menu, but you don’t have to go further than that, into Coach Assist.

Update I decided not to get it repaired I ordered one from Radiator Supply House. they had one in stock and delivered it to the campsite two day shipping. Installed it took a couple hours and we are up and running. Megan at Radiator Supply House was awesome

Up load a photo if you can.
I would like to see what this cooler looks like and how its mounted - I'm sure (I think) it will be different than the cooler on my Coach since you have a Roadmaster chassis and mine is a Magnum chassis.

Mike, I'm sure it's the same as the one on my coach, had a leak in mine welded up last year in Idaho Falls, Id.  The cooler is the outer most cooler, you have the radiator, trans then hydraulic coolers. The cooler is about 3" thick, 16" tall and about 3' long. If you want I could take some better measurements.
The trouble with most shops trying to repair a Alum rad is they can't weld aluminum worth a hoot, one reason why I now have a tig welder.
