is. The origional series 60 engine blew up at 172,000 miles. The origional
engine was then replaced with a Junk Yard truck engine with 750,000 miles on it!
The coach today has around 175,000 miles. Owner state's it uses about 1 qt. oil
/1000 miles. I don't know what the consumption of the series 60 is considered
normal. My question is this , the musical horn's don't work, should I still take
a chance on the horn's not being too big a problem and go ahead a buy it. Bob

Sounds to me that you have answered your own question. You stated that the
engine has 750,000 miles on it? Well that a bit much for any engine and who
knows what maintenance was preformed on that particular engine from the time it
was new till the time it was sold as a used engine. Bob I would keep on looking
around and waiting. $75,000 dollars is a big investment and who knows how long
that engine will keep up and all the rest of the associated running gear. I
have 148,000 on my coach and its the original engine but I know it has been
serviced with love and affection. Jon
