Interested in a mid 90's Wanderlodge. I have noticed that many get an engine rebuild around 100K miles. This seems early for such an engine. Why so early and what is the price range to have that done? Thanks. Jeff

I have a mid 80's with a Detroit diesel that has 160,000 and doesn't smoke after first puff at startup. When I was looking I was told to stay away from Cat3208 from several people including a couple of excellent lifelong mechanics. The detroit purrs going down the road and if I continue to take care of maintenance I expect it to last another 160K. Good luck.
