hello I don't know if you can help me or not , I live in uk and own a 1990 foretravel granvilla with Detroit 8.2ltr built on an Oshkosh chassis.
I have the original parts manual from Oshkosh , im wanting to replace my shock absorbers front and rear , but the part nos in the manual I cannot cross reference them would you be able to find a site or know of anyone that can help me with an up to date parts list for everything to do with this chassis.
I know that freightliner bought out Oshkosh a few years ago , ive tried contacting freightliner direct but not very helpful at all there must be away , the reason why I need the part no.s is because these shocks were probably made by Monroe or bilstein and its possible that other vehicles were fitted with same part no.s and it would be a lot easier to find these parts in the uk if I knew what other vehicles they were fitted to , thanks kev
Who did you contact at Freightliner?
I have used the only knowledgeable source at Freightliner daimler here in the US that knows anything about the Oshkosh chassis, and they know their stuff.
fcccservice@daimler.com attn: Les Michaels or Mark Fraedrich. If you get them, tell them hi for me (Norm)
I listed the part #s for current Bilsteins on the part # page. I can resend them mon if you would like.
This may be the post Mike is talking about. Read on down a couple of post as reply #116 may also help out.
