Sounds about right, and for a long time most diesels were naturally aspirated, it is only lately have to gone to turbo or supper charged..at least in small rigs.
AND yes I to am driving a brick...I do not plan on doing any trailer pulling...
It looks like the smallest gears I can get for my van will be a 2.14 and that will allow me to run at 989 RPMs at 55, and 1258 at 70 and 1438 at 80MPH.
Of course these RPMs and speeds will only be possible on level grown and low head winds...
Which causes some concern if I can run a auto in lower gears most of the time??
