... What did your gas MH weigh vs the weight of your 34y DP? What HP do you have in the DP? What was the MPG of each? Assuming your gas MH was a 362 HP ford how did the performance compare with your DP?
Gasser had a GVWR of 14,500. The DP has a GVWR 27,910. DP has a 340 HP Cummins. Gasser a 362 HP Ford. MPG of the gasser was 5-7. DP 9-12. I usually drive the speed limit +5 (60-70 mostly). The DP is quieter, cooler, climbs hills better, has better acceleration than the gasser. The ride of the gasser was rough owing to it's truck based chassis. The DP, smooth owing to it's bus/air bag chassis.
