It looks good, and it does have three roof airs-so probably has a Diesel genset.  I doesn't say if it is automatic or the 4spd manual.  Need to find out exactly what it has.  Good Luck, TomC

Its a 4104, looks like there is lots of oil on the rear bumper for some reason?

Actually, I think its a 4106. Looks good but there was an 4905 for $7000 that I think Gumpy was showing earlier.

PD 4106

I have to agree, I think it is a 4106.  The tailgate has a "Jake Brake bump" that is neccessary on a 4106 to allow clearance for the lower 8V71 valve cover when Jakes are installed.  Sure would be nice to see some interior photos.  Jack

It is a 4104 since it has single arm windshield wipers (4106 has twin arm articulated wipers).  This bus has new fiberglass caps on it-can't really tell much beyond that.  Just need to see the engine- 6-71 is 4104 (unless changed), 4106 is 8V-71.  Also can tell by the air bags.  Double convolute bag is 4104, rolling lobe is 4106. Good Luck, TomC

John -

I have to agree with TomC that this coach is a 4104.

Looking at the rear view photo, and counting the fluting on the electrical compartment access door from the top of the rub rail to the hinge, there are six.

My 4106 has four.

Tell your friend to offer $5500 if it's clean when you two go see it.

FWIW & HTH. . .

;)

My brother had sent this guy an email a couple days ago and has not heard back from him. Has anyone else gotten any more info on it?

Thanks,

Judging by some knowledable people here I would have to say the 4106 would be the better choice between the two. Just curious.

Bryan,

I just got the guys cell number...you want to shoot me a pm if your brother is still interested? My buddy thinks he wants something a little bigger...go figure ;D.

When I am back home (mid feb), I might be able to look at it for you...

God bless,

John
