I went from a 150 to a 350 diesel. No more worries about maxing out payload, massive improvement in stability, less were and tear, etc. The real difference though was long downhill runs in the...

You may want to take the AC shroud off the ceiling and check the mounting of the air conditioner. There should be a foam gasket between the roof and the air conditioner. There should also be four...
