I THINK, if i had my choice - id go for (another) pre-emissions motor (no EGR or DEF), the mpg MIGHT suffer (slightly) but theres a lot less likelihood that something would go wrong.

I'd look for a coach w/ nothing shorter than a 3.21 rear....I turn about 1400 R's at 72mph and id love to be lower (mpg sweet spot)...and id really wish i could get those RPMs down a little more....ive got PLENTY of pulling power...even starting in 3rd gear.

I would eventually like to have the coach reprogramed to start in 5th gear & raise the cruise control (set) limit to 75 (mph) at the same time.
