It is a new unit, still under warranty. Towing $6,000. Parts $3800 - $2400 for the gear drive, $1400 for the clutch itself. Labor - $5200. Other expenses - hotel - $2800. It was a Freightliner chassis. Apparently they covered everything but the hotel.
The $6000 towing bill I don't believe happen. parts were not that bad in price,the Linning electric clutch used on Prevost and later MCI will cost you over 4 grand new without the gear box
I agree, the $6000 towing bill is hard to believe.
The Linning electric clutches can be easily rebuilt. I'd love to know why both the gearbox and the clutch failed.
$5200 for labour ? Even at $200/hr, that is 26 hours. Did they have to pull the engine ?

The gearbox probably failed 1st and they installed the fan clutch because it got damaged,yep Cummins is 200 to $250 a hour for RV labor ,they have it wired most diesel RV's are Cummins power with the Cummins Onan generator that takes weeks for Cummins to even look at.I have a HYD fan that runs off the 4060 Allison PTO drive the coupling for it is $3800.00 rebuilt no telling what a pump or motor would cost
