As stated not long. Most car engines are intended to run between 1600 and 2000 RPM's cruising. If you look up the stats they achieve peak HP at much higher RPM's. But stats can lie too. A few years (10 or 12) back a non computer using friend was in the market for a new truck and wanted a diesel. He ask me to look at where the GM, Ford and Dodge made their power at. Was easy to find the GM and Ford specs but could not find the specs for the Cummins anywhere. I got on the Dodge web site and they had this instant chat option for technical questions. The, at the time, advertised max HP rating was achieved over the Max recommended RPM's. Now that isn't saying that the engine was bad. That was because the big 3 was in a diesel HP war and you can only get so much out of a smaller displacement engine. Torque was spot on. And for reports it would pull right up there with Ford and GM. Just a little customer disinformation to sell trucks.
