Cost of ownership
Gardner
I have my 93-PT40 in for oil, filters, tune up etc, etc on generator, engine and transmission. I'll let you know what the bill is when I get it back next week. Work being done by Inland Diesel an Allison and Detroit shop. This Bird is new to me about 90 days ago, also first coach for me. Bird has about 78,000 miles on it, generator in the 950 Hrs range.
