Looking for a diesel pusher.
What was done to the engine? There are several mods to make it significantly more durable and reliable. I have only one more mod to make to my engine.

MilSpec AMG 6.5L TD 230HP; built-to-order by Peninsular Engines: Hi-pop injectors, gear-driven camshaft, non-waste-gated, high-output turbo, 18:1 pistons. Fuel economy increased by 15-20%, power, WOW!"StaRV II"

'94 28' Breakaway: MilSpec AMG 6.5L TD 230HP

I was able to get a modified 6.5l engine from a hummer dealer, these engines are modified for the military an these hummers, larger water jackets for cooling, more nickel in the casting to run cooler, larger oil pumps larger water pumps,, sure is a big difference in HP, lots of power,

If that's an AMG with the 18:1 compression ratio, dual thermostats, and Hi-cap water pump, it's a considerable upgrade, worth on the high side of $8K. The engine in my coach is a near relative (although I had it custom built with extras).
