Ace,
Answer 1 queestion. Do you honestly believe that a stock v10 can pull an 11,000 5th wheel up a 6% 5 mile grade at 5000 ft. elevation doing a constant 55-60 MPH without overtaxing the engine? If you do I have a bridge to sell you real cheap. I happen to have a Dodge. I have friends with Ford and Gm diesels and they can do it also. All 3 diesels have plenty of power for that climb. Not so with gas.
By the way what kind of RV do you pull with that V10?
