IF you go to the Workhorse website and enter the VIN you will find if the brake recall was done. If it was done, then you are good to go. NONE of the calipers replaced under the recall are defective. SOME of the calipers replaced under warranty, BEFORE the recall, were defective. The recall corrected that issue so if it has been done, you do not have to worry about your brakes, other than the usual maintenance. There is a grease fitting on the bell crank for the brakes that is under the hood. This needs to be greased and is usually forgotten during normal maintenance.
Transynd transmission fluid was used in all ALlison transmissions made after April, 2005. If this coach was built before that, it would be a good idea to drain the Dexron III fluid and refill with the newer Transynd.
The sepentine belt used on this coach is the LONGER 108" belt of the two used with the 8.1L engine. Carry one as a spare since you will go nowhere if it fails.
Check the front hubs for the proper oil level. It usually takes a flashlight to see the oil level which should be close to the center plug.
