>Let us know if there is anything you might need

Boy, I was waiting for this:-)

I understand this is a 2 stroke engine. Is there anything different in
driving it compared to a 4 stroke? The Cat 330hp in my '03 Dutch Star
was pretty idiot proof. What RPM range do you keep it in? Approx what
RPM is peak torque? How many MPG at 65mph? Is the 8V92 DD a tricky
engine, or can most diesel mecahnics work on it? We just moved to St.
George, UT. I haven't noticed any DD mechanics here, but I know Las
Vegas Freightliner works on them (2 hours away).

I'm understanding this coach will weigh upwards of 38,000 lbs. Is
there anything beyond utilizing common sense that I'll need to be
aware of?

TIA,
Steve Harrie
