Thanks, Andy, we don't see many 325s on the road (read, we don't see many mo/hos,period.)

Yes I know what you mean. Five of us travelled together the the PEI Rally. One unit was a cherry 1991 350. It attracts a lot of attention, surprizing how many people thought it was new even sitting next to the new 34 that I was towing.

I was towing on this trip with a Pleasureway Sprinter van conversion. If you were trailing even a small cube van or a box type class C it would get buffeted around considerably. However I followed the 350 for several hundred miles and not a thing. Whether intentionally or by accident they had the Classic Motorhome aerodynamics right.

Do you have a turbo on your 310?

"Bess" has just over 200K, yes turbo. We're on our second turbo. What I've
found, at huge expense, but correct , is when the turbo blows, pull the top
end, do injectors, have pump and pressure regulator checked, take the head
in for checking. If you've taken good care of that engine, the jugs should look
like you could eat off them. Plus, PLUS! It makes taking the turbo out very
easy, sort of. When you take the pump in to have them "run the rack", let them
know you are turbo-charged, the factory specs on the pump don't allow for turbo.
