We currently have a 3807 and have been looking to upgrade to a 405 or 406 with diesels. Our search has been going for a year and a half. Seems we are always a week late or in one case too dumb to know a great deal when we saw it. The latest one we found that checks all the boxes and is not yet under contract is a 2002 and has TAMD Volvo engines. I’d always heard those were good engines until they are not. I had a Volvo gasser in a ski boat and it was great, but it never needed anything other than normal maintenance. We assumed we’d find one with Cummins but here we are. What’s good and what’s bad? Should we keep looking just based on engine brand? We are in north west Alabama. I don’t think there’s much support for any diesel, but especially a Volvo here locally. So far, we’ve done all the work on our crusaders and velvet drives ourselves, including both transmission rebuilds, but I don’t have any diesel experience yet. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks Vic
