It is amazing how quickly an engine can overheat on a hard pull. I would suspect that the majority of diesel coaches with rebuilt engines at less than 200,000 miles were due to an overheat situation, frequently, but not always, the result of a catastrophic failure of a hose or radiator during a long climb.

I feel for anyone who experiences an engine failure in any coach but especially one in an older coach where a substantial percentage of the value of the coach is spent to get it back on the road again with little increase in the coach value afterwards.
