I guess hard work pays off. Especially when coupled with help from this glorious community of veterans! I had no major issues with coach driving 55 to 60 mph no stalling, no surging, trans shifted fine. I did notice a stiffer suspension and perhaps my tires are inflated too much. I have them at 50-55 lbs. A little slop in the steering wheel but overall a decent ride. It has been three years since I drove it and it felt a little stiffer?? Anyways, I am very grateful for all the input from the guys.
