There is certainly a difference with your engine and ZF5.

Finally worked it!
towed what I would consider my first "real load" with the new IDI. Went and picked up Dirtydiesels new project IDI.
This was with empty tanks, so with my full tank probably another 150lbs or so.
A video that dirtydiesel took. This was about a 160 mile journey today. Truck did well. Never seen over 220*. I hit 220* twice on two of the big grades, fan clutch engaged, and dropped back down to about 200*. Cruising on the flats it was 190-200* the whole way. Had the cruise control set to 67mph the whole way, highest EGT's I seen was around 1100*, stayed around 675-700 on the flats, and went up to 800-900 on some of the mild grades.

Good to see that truck go to good use. I went and looked at it on Monday eventhough the guy said he was holding it for someone (turned out to be you and 91dirtydiesel). I respect a guy who sticks to his word.

Well now 2 posts. Got to start somewhere. Bees? Didn't notice any when I looked at it. I couldn't resist at least looking at the truck eventhough you had dibs. It was only 10 min from my house.
