I honestly don't recall seeing a smaller tranny cooler. The guy who picked it up said it appeared to be an Allison to him. My garage in Sioux Falls recalled it being a Cummings. So now if faced with the choice of the two do you have a recommendation? If there is no cooler at all should I ask for one to be installed?

The hills I climbed were not that big. It's I90 between Billings and Bozeman. I saw one 6 percent grade but went down that one. I managed the engine temp to no more than 200 concentrating on the RPM being close or at 2000 as instructed and trying to keep the turbo boost from maxing. When this did not work I slowed and geared down. The engine temps stayed in a static range but the transmission shot up before I knew it (too focused on other gauges) and frankly was not sure what was too hot for that since that gauge was not marked with a red mark nor did I ever ask anyone about it. There was lots of bridge construction and in third gear going 45-50 I was a steady 2000 rpm which was the target climbing hills from the posts.

There should be a driving school for these old 2 strokes. This coach will be brand new now. All new interior, rebuilt engine, new tranny, all new water bay, all new lighting...and on an on. It was and probably will still be passion again, but right now we are exhausted. Going to Yellowstone today. Found a room at the Kelley In in West Yellowstone (literally the only one left after calling 6 others). Taking the kids fly fishing tomorrow and will try to focus on the kids. My youngest is a worrier and got very anxious about this all so we will work on his to do list for this vacation.

Thanks for any advice. Mechanic is calling me this morning at some point.
