It's those one lane roads and the 6.2 screaming that get to me. I don't like hearing an engine work like that and it gives me visions of something shooting through the hood.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with an engine exceeding 2000RPM, yet so many people have this hang-up!


If I want to hear a high reving gas engine, I will go to a NASCAR race or local dirt track. Towing my 13k 5er, I prefer low reving diesel.

^^^ If I want to hear a screaming engine I’ll jump in my Peterbilt. That Cat screams pretty loud when it gets pulling hard at 1800 rpm.-2000 rpm. Then the cooling fan cuts in and the decibels go up another couple of notches.
