Tim,
Be sure to address the gear ratio in the coach.
People in the know are using 3.70 as it takes you to the torque curve and
will not cause your milage to suffer at all.
Transmission will hold up better this way
Go to our web site and review the chart and see.
Should you desire to discuss it, give me a call. We have been supplying
these gears for over 17 years and have received considerable feedback.
