My 6V92TA DDEC IV is set at 2110 and no way to change. With the Bill Teal over drive it will still do over 80 mph and cruises at 65 mph at 1500 rpm. I have a 4.56 to 1 rear end and 12R22.5 tires. Good mileage and less wear on the engine. No oil leaks either.

Assuming you have an accurate speedo or a GPS to indicate mph, how fast will your coach go. And what is your rear tire size?

Yes, it does which aids in smooth easy sliding as the bearing edge only rides on the channel.

My 63 GMPD4106 is stock with no tach so I don't even know what rpm's its turning.Is there a corresponding rpm to mph chart somewhere so I can determine engine rpm's.

Thx

Fred

I use it for all the forums in one place and to upload pictures without having to resize them etc. Good for when we travel or have to wait in line somewhere and don't have or want to use the laptop. Its all in the phone and don't have to open a browser and go between sites. Just sayin

Lol my high dollar $29.00 ZTE doesn't have enough memory to use Tap/talk, I may need to upgrade to a $40.00 phone huh Dave  ,better yet use one of Sonja old phones she changes phones like most people change socks it seems

Any good generator will go 15,000 to 20,000 hrs with not many problems.I work on a bus that has a antique 6.5 gasoline twin cylinder Onan runs 1800 rpms it has over 13,000 hours, a fuel pump replacement is all that has ever been replaced  since 1984 not to shabby

Thanks all---
Yea Floyd, 110 plus today in western Okla...ugh..
I did like the personal touch from Wrico---they called me back and gave me way more info than my newbie mind could even grasp...
Considered used luvrbus, but worry about buying something on the verge of problems...really dont want generator issues..
Not crazy about the thought of gasoline either...
So...probably leaning towards the larger wrico...
Thanks again!!

I second Floyd, Wrico 13k.  10K will only give you 40 amps of service, 50amps on the 13K for a total of 100amp service or same as your power cord.
