As for power, those with the ISL's you can get a huge improvement in power and some mileage improvement adding a very easy to install module. DIGI CR power module from Parleys Diesel. If you have a rear radiator fan that is the fixed pitched model and not the Horton fan you can change that and gain about 30 HP as well and improve mileage. I easily average 8.5 and my mountain climbing is much improved. With the two mods I am running close to 400 hp at the rear wheels and close to 1200 ft/lbs of torque. That is rear wheel power. If you want more info PM me. Don't want to hijack the thread.
