I'm getting close to pulling the engine out of the 'Burb and putting it in the motorhome. I'm guessing diff gear selection would be fairly critical, so I have some questions.
What's the power (torque) band for a NA 6.2?
The early 6.2s had the TH400. What gear ratio was recommended for towing in those days?
Anyone know what the combined vehicle weight (tow rig and trailer) was for something like the diesel Suburban with the TH400?
Is there a recommend RPM range for pulling 8000 lbs at about 65mph?
Some speed limits are 75 mph. I understand that I don't have to go the speed limit, but if I wanted to go 75 (without a trailer), what RPM should I shoot for.
There's got to be a sweet spot that will get torque and effenciancy. I just can't find examples from the early 80's.
Thanks in advance for the help
