Well, I finally made it to Houston from WA. I finished putting in an NV5600 six-speed in my '93 W250 Cummins, loaded up the Lance camper and hitched up the Samuari and went for a 2300-mile test drive! I was 13,720 lbs GVW when I left home but the Cummins did the trick. I did have to watch the Exhaust Gas Temp on big hills, but a downshift to 5th usually took care of it. I am very pleased with the overall result although there does seem to be a little noise from the countershaft in 6th gear--maybe that's normal. Now I need to make contact with some vintage PW and M37 fans here in the Houston area.
