Re: power curve by Brent Rader
Post New Message All that I can find is the horsepower and it is 170@4000. The max recomended rpm under load is 4000.

Someone mentioned that I could probably find a gear to climb any hill... that's true. When I drive this bus, I start in 2nd gear High (that is the fourth gear combination from the bottom). I almost always leave the rear end in high gear. About the only time that I use the low range is if I really want to shift through all 5 gear combinations between 2nd high and 4th high. Normally I just go 2H-3H-4H.

I looked up my rear end ratios last night. They are 6.50 - 8.28
