Just attended a Cummins Power Club rally in Columbus Ind. Asked and got a price to update to 340 hp. Was told since my coach was under warranty it would cost $1300.00. $1000.00 was for the warranty change and $300 for upgrade. If coach was out of 5yr 100,000.0 mile warranty it would be only $300. But I was advised by Cummins, that it would not be worth it as the hp and torque gain was not that much to notice any difference in performance. So I decided against it!
The few times going up a steep grade for me are few and manage with the lower gear setting going up towing my jeep. The remainder of the time I have no problems and appreciate the mpg's of this unit.
FYI: Per Cummins and the Allison specs the 2100 series can handle up to the 340hp and the 2500 series can go to 360hp.
It's all a matter of personal choice.
Good Luck!
Don
