Hence the backing off. It's late and I'm not going to go out and check my 
tires. They are slightly smaller than stock, but not radically. I have a 412 
ring and pinion tranny. So I don't know how fast I am going. I have a GPS that 
will tell me, but I lost a power cable and it won't work without it.

  Slow down Denis.  Don't know how your gearing is set up with your tires,  But 
4,000 rpms should be about 80+.  That's too fast in a bus.

There were many times on this trip home that I looked down at the Speedo and it 
was all the way around and pushing on the "0" post. My reaction is to look at 
the tach and oil temp, and sure enough, it was at 220 (too hot) and over 4000 
RPM. Tie to back off. And I could watch my oil temp go down.

      That the oil temp stays the same (low) regardless of how fast you drive?

        The trailer went home with the other Arkansas folks. Murray made every 
mile 
        in spooky good shape. Wore headphones all the way home. the bus didn't 
make 
        any strange and worrifle noises. the oil temp went high when I pushed 
and 
        went down as soon as I backed off.

        What more can you ask?
