We had a 99 Endeavor , freightliner , cat engine and it was a great coach .
There is one little on going issue with rear radiator coaches . The engines
have a crank case breather (slobber tube) that emits a tiny amount of oil
mist , the fan picks it up blowing it into the radiator where dust collects .
If you don't know about this and don't clean periodically over heating will
result. Not a big deal but important .
Freightliner will probably be around longer than any of the coach builders
so I would not be concerned about them .
As mentioned tires , age and size are very important . That coach came with
255 tires but should be up sized to 275 if it has not already been done .
