345 cummins for sale in Houston
I looked at that particular unit prior to purchasing my '87.
The only word that comes to mind to describe it is "pristine".
The Allison shifted smoothly, both in straight auto and driver select. The intercooler and turbo were both tucked up next to the engine. Really a well engineered package.
It truely is as close to showroom new as any motor home that I have seen that is anywhere close to it's age bracket.
The blue trim highlighting the aluminum stood out, I've yet to see a paint job like it..
Performance was not noticeably different from a gas model, but the clatter coming from the engine compartment during cruise was incredible. Much louder than my gas model. The noise factor is a definite negative that needs to be weighed by anyone contemplating a front engine conversion from gas to diesel.
But I have to admit, that particular unit sure was nice.
