Tranny replaced at 130k miles. Valves were adjusted at just over 100k.<BR/><BR/>Governor kicks in at 2750 rpm. Can I cruise at that rpm? We are a private Christian school and will use the bus for events and long trips. It drives great! Feels like an Eagle.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your column. Although I can't do repairs to that extent, it helps me get to know this engine.<BR/><BR/>Dean DemosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
