A question.. Is this engine we are talking about the 5.9 cummins or the 8.3 liter cummins. My 5.9 in a truck red lines at 3400. I am just wondering.

would that be the ISB 24v with electronic injection, and did you "Chip it"?

Oh and it does this while towing a 20000>25000# fiver , right?

you cant compare your truck 'even with the bed loaded' to a DP

whats the shift point and redline on your 40ft Phaeton?

Try Water Wetter by Redline. Sure worked great in our last TV.

You probably have the coolest TV, but does it also work on your motorhome engine?
