Replacing the 3.07 final drive with a new one from JimK would be one thing I would consider. It's my personal opinion that the 3.55 ratio would be more suited to the weight of the coach if you don't do a lot of towing. A lower ratio would be better if you do. Just consider where the torque range of the engine, the speed you'll usually drive, the weight of the coach, and whether you want to tow or not & figure that into which ratio you get. All of them will take a load off of the transmission... Just my honest opinion.
