Reminds me to check mine. It has been a long time.

I can remember early on with this rig, we escaped to high altitude to get away from Socal smoke for a few days.
When I started the rig to go home, really hard to start, loads of exhaust smoke.

Yup, needed a new filter, the altitude was the final straw.

My 02 has the Cat 330 and I'm very pleased overall. I drive for mileage and routinely saw 10 MPG towing a Prius. 32 K lbs. approx.

The Allison shifts to 6th gear right at 62 MPH. I get her in 6th and back off to 60, I'm at peak torque around 60-62 MPH, superb economy.

I have always run power service fuel treatment to boost cetane.
