There are several Workhorse Guru's here...just wait a bit for them to see your post, and I am sure they will check the VIN for you.

As far as I know the WH VIN tool on-line is now only for checking recall status.

Best luck

if the sixth vin # is a "3" or a "5", that is a P32 with a GM 4 speed 4L-80E tranny.

if the sixth vin # is a "6" or an "A", that is a W-series chassis with an Allison tranny, either 5 or 6 speed depending on model year. GVWR determines if the Allison is a 1000 series or a 2000 series tranny.

FWIW, I think it is likely that either of those two coaches will be on a W-series chassis with the Allison tranny. If so, the 2004 will be a 5 speed, and the 2006 MIGHT be a 6 speed depending on the chassis model year used by Tiffin.


Assuming both are W-20 / W-22 chassis, they were recalled and you will need to VERIFY that the Bosch Brake Recall has been completed before buying, if possible. Post the last 8 digits of the vin # and I'll check for the recalls

That is for a 2006 W-22 originally sold to Tiffin. It has the Allison 1000 series 6 speed tranny. All three(3) recalls, including the Bosch Brake recall, have been completed. If you buy it and want the entire build sheet, send me an email.

Since recalls are specific to each chassis, there is no easy way that I know of to find which ones are applicable. You can find a list of all of the WCC recalls by visiting here: www.workhorseclub.com Look under the "service" tab.

I have unlimited CarFax for about another 30 days. But, there is always a catch. The catch is I run it by Lic Tag/ST. So, if you want a Carfax send me the tag #/st & your email addy in pm.
