Hey Jack ,would you like to swap for your old 275 hp coach?
honestly the 275 is ok as long as you are'nt going to tow a stacker ,or a trailer over 10,000#.
The fuel economy is better with a 275 ,I get about 11mpg towing 10,000#,if I keep it under 70.
If you get a coach with a 275 Cummins engine ,look for a newer model with common rail fuel injection.
Avoid the older '98 to '01 models with the V44 pump, just too costly to repair. { I needed one @52,000 miles!} failures are becoming more common as fuel quality seems to go down as price goes up !
Plus the common rail engine has more hop up stuff if you decide you need more power.
, Tom
