try uphill with high profile 5er
We left our "home base" on thurs. a.m. thought the 40+ mph winds would subside out of town and we would be going "with the wind" up the hill. We pulled that 9K fiver up from 1000' elev to 6200' elev, in 98 miles in constant 30+ gusting to 45 HEAD winds. One spot was 6% grade up for 2 miles. Took us 20 gal of fuel.. I HATE hauling in the wind. I love the truck and on another note I now know that the intake/exhaust WILL NOT remain stock much longer.
