The 310 Diesel works great for us...200K no oil burned, 15 mpg.
We have a overdrive unit that enables us to pass farm machinery,
climbing grades, watch the water temp. gauge, nothing else.
Don't try the Donner with a old coach or during the winter; it's prolly
the worst pass in the country...it goes on forever. The Isuzu is slow up the
hills, very slow.

My father had bought a 310 turbo diesel back in 1983. As I remember, it was really nice to drive and got great fuel econimy for it's size. Also, as best I can remember, it had OK power. In your opinion, how is the power. How fast would it pull the Doner / I-80 out of Sacramento (5 to 6% grades) or a comprable incline? Is the Isuzu diesel motor a 4 or 6 cylender Motor?
