Subject: Re: Cat 3208 Engines Author: L. Longcrier [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08/ 11/ 04, 12:46pm In reply to: Ken Johnson 's message, "Cat 3208 Engines" on 08/ 3/ 04, 7:16pm The main thing to do, is to do a lube and Oil change every 6000 miles or every six months, which ever comes first, this keeps down acid build up in the oil pan, also have the valves adjusted every 60,000 miles. I also have my oil checked for metal filings and contamination when the oil is changed. If all factory recommendations are followed the 3208 engine will make 400,000 miles with minimum costs. Lee L.

[> Subject: Re: Cat 3208 Engines Author: Rose Mary Smith [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08/ 28/ 04, 2:01pm Hi I saw your post. My brother was recently killed and the family would like to find a home for his bluebird. It is an 82, well maintained, low miles and hours. He kept it tip top. new tires, belts, hoses. A new diesel cat engine, rebuilt transmission etc. All owners manuals and a log of hours and work done since he bought the coach as a second owner. The bank repoed from the original owner. Sincerely Rose Mary [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

We wound up purchasing an '83, however, my brother is looking for a similar coach. Can you e-mail me some information or photos? Is there a phone number to someone who can answer questions about it? Thanks! Ken Johnson '83 FC35 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Cat 3208 Engines Author: Lorilee Rainey [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 19/ 04, 10:46am Sorry about the loss of your brother. We are currently looking for a vintage bird to purchase. I am not familiar with this list, so I don't know how to post directly to you. I would be interested in any info you could give me on the rig you are selling. Thanks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
