He's got the same 6bt in his motorhome we have in our trucks with some software changes to help it work with the Allison Transmission.... I don't see why any of the performance kits and injectors won't help...
My neighbors CAT in his class A by the same company hold 22 quarts in the engine and close to that in the Allison... he needs to check his chassis manual.... if he doesn't have one go to Freightliner and order one....
BTW - we found my neighbors water heater had a hot water loop off the engine to heat hot water for the coach and that same water later went up front to the defroster and back to the engine.... if he has problems with the defroster and no heat its from an air bubble....
Down on the frame rail hidden along side the transmission in the hot water return line is a water gate valve and petcock.... when the defroster air locks, and it will, if its run low on water in that plastic 5 gal resorvor on the radiator... you close the gate valve when the engine is hot and open the pet cock... and let it run for at least 20 - 30 min while it burb's its self, usually 5 - 7 gals of coolant... we caught it in a 5 gal pail and ran it back into the overflow tank.... and my 83 year old neighbor now watches that tank.... they like to seam leak.... very poor design....
