360qs

[Big Bri]

how do you tell if you have the optional engine package? base model in 2008 was 340hp / 660tq. optional was 350hp /800tq w/ 10k tow. is it referenced in the vin like an old hotrod?



thanks

With last six if the vin- they should be able to help- and tell you about any recalls- very helpful.


I was able to get the service records from my coach at freightliner from the 1st owner.

What Dave-G said is the best info for this question. Also if you have other questions about your 2008 360QS, search for the user ernest917. He had this model for several years and I've learned many things about mine from reading his posts.

I can also try to answer questions about it.

If you private message the VIN i might be able to pull the chassis spec sheet that was obtained when the chassis was delivered to Forest River from the Freightliner in Gaffney, SC

The two engines you mentioned are both Cummins engines... On a few select 08 coaches, a Mercedes MBE926 (340 hp, 1050 torque) was installed....

I was lucky enough to have this engine in my Berk and absolutely LOVED it!!!!

Paired with an Allison 3000 6-speed transmission, it’s a wonderful set-up!!!

I averaged 9.5 - 13.5 mpg consistently....

In the 12 years we had this coach I NEVER had a single issue finding someone to service it...

I considered myself the Berkshire “resident expert” on this engine because we lived with it for many years and resolved ever single issue along the way..... (There’s not a Diesel engine out there that you won’t have occasional issues....)
