People just think that a diesel working hard at 2500 rpm's is ok and that 4500 in a gasser is NOT ok.
Thats exactly right. There were numerous times I had my '07 5.9 CTD running at 2900 rpm while pulling a long steep grade.
Let me tell you,listening to a CTD at those RPM gets old in a hurry.
I would have much rather listened to my '01 8.1 liter big block spin along at 4500 pulling those same grades.
Mine pulling a combined load of 28,000# up the Grapevine at 2,900 rpm in 3rd gear sounds very nice!
