Harry, Coach is a 1992. Had 127k on it when we bought it. 165K on it now. Jury is still out on engine cause. It suddenly overheated pulling a steep grade. After shutting down coolant got into crankcase. Pistons were galled to cylinders & cylinders were scuffed pretty badly. Still no definitive reason for coolant getting into crankcase from re-builders. We might have gotten by with just an in-frame cylinder kit job with heads rebuilt and used most of the old accessories for a lot less cash. But, decided since that is also a major repair, it was a good time to bite the bullet & do a complete rebuild with all new or reman parts. DD gives 1 yr warranty on reman parts & 6 months on new. (go figure!) Should have virtually brand new engine now. With less to worry about.
