A good thing is that I haven't seen the temp climb at all even in first gear on steep hills. I haven't driven in hot weather yet though.

My 8.1 Vortec had 93,383 miles when it blew. Why? The catalytic converter created so much back pressure it blew the seals out and pumped the oil out at 55mph. It was just short of $10k to have all the work done.

Totally irrelevant and off-topic, but may provide some relief of the shadenfreude sort for the OP: my son in law recently blew the engine in his Porsche: a rod came through the block. His new engine is going to cost him $40,000. Be glad your RV isn't powered by Porsche.

I have over 200,000 on my 7.4. Treat it right and you should get that kind of miles. No engine work, just routine maintenance.
Long block is about $3000. add in external components another $1500. Installation will put cost up to nearly $10,000.
