The 5.9L is a good engine I read until you drive on with more power. :)
If you are driving in the rocky mountains pulling a 20,000 pound trailer you need more power than driving from Houston to Gulf Shores MS for example.
Some can do a 30 day trip and drive 8,000 miles and others may do a 30 day trip and not drive the MH 80 miles (common here in the KY Lake region) so what is OK engine wise will be determined by usage.
