    1028 highway ?

    What about the guys that run an overdrive? I guess that slows the engine, trans and t case slowed down enough to safely ride at 70 mph.

    m1028a1 upgrade ???

    I might try that to see if I get another 200 lb payload capacity. I know when I put racing stripes on my Camaro it made it go faster. No reason why the data plate thing wont work.

    Its my understanding that there is an extra leaf spring in the rear to accommodate the extra weight of the shelter that it was designed for.

    idiling

    I'm sure that there are those that will disagree but.... Its my understanding that the smaller diesels like the 6.2 can be driven as soon as there is oil pressure. You just want to make sure that you take it easy for the first few miles or so. If it was colder than 20 degrees I'd let it idle for...
