The 5.9 in that era was sold in different ratings for different duty cycles. 100% power heavy duty applications were 160 HP and lower (some as low as 120 HP), while light duty applications like RV and pickup trucks could be rated 190 to 230 HP.
So yours could be anywhere from the highest HD rating (160) to the highest light duty rating offered (230). Cummins will know.
Interesting info, from all, thanks.
Its actually not mine but its on the lot and I like to know the answers to the questions before I get them. Nice unit, seems well screwed together. Love the sound of the Cumnmins. Nicest sounding motorhome on the lot. LOL. :) I'm taking it out in the morning for a quick run, I'll count the gears and post back. The horsepower thing will be more difficult but there is another box of paperwork that may shed some light on the topic.
Cheers.
Simplest way to get the real data is get the serial number off the engine and off the transmission and go to or call Cummins. Go to Allison and you can find out which transmission you have.
