Tiffin Breeze V8

From what I gather on the FORD version of this motor the biggest issues were the EGR system, fuel filter, water seperators, and the biggie was the DPF/REGEN system.

That motor NEEDS CLEAN FUEL..no water, no contaminants. That the same issue for most all diesels BUT the injection systems on the 6.4's were very expensice to fix if the need aros.

The DPF/REGEN process that is used for the FORD version was the thing most owenrs found to be troublesome. Basically during the REGEN process extra fuel is injected to heat up the Diesel Particulte Filter in teh exhaust. For a couple different reasons this could lead to fuel getting into the oil, thus "creating" more oil/fluid in the oil pan.

If those isues arent present in the MAXXFORCE version, then from what I understand, its a reasonably stout motor.

My father owns a 2010 ford Truck with this motor and he is religous about the fuel filter, water seperator, and keeping en eye on oil levels. He plans on eliminating the DPF and tuning out the regen process.

Toured Tiffin last year. It's a V8.

I just checked. You are right...V-8

Yep, V8.

I was very interested in these when they first came out however if you do a search on here you will find that the front ends were light and the MH was difficult to control besides being under powered. Maybe the newer 32 ft is better.

We looked at one of those and the salesman said they were underpowered but they do have a nice floor plan.

This is the best source of info on Tiffins. That's the good, the bad and the ugly.

I KNOW nothing about them, but Motorhomes of Texas had a nice one, I bought an older Foretravel instead.

The Breeze was introduced just a few years ago. V-8? I don't think so.

If it is the same 6.4L V8 diesel that Ford used in the 2008 - 2010 pickups, I probably will not be looking at it as a 'good' powerplant. Ford had plenty of problems with these engines.

If it is a inline 6 cylinder, and Maxx Force has both engines with that name, then it is something to consider. It will meet the stringent EPA regulations just like any other engine, and also make a huge amount of horsepower!

Good luck,

Fred.
