We ran into a crazy headwind right around Livingston MT back in March. Signs were blown down, missing, or wrapped around the poles. We were in a Dmax with a 28ft H+H race trailer. The only reason we slowed down was the coolant temp was hitting 235-238 and that got me really nervous. Boost was 25psi and EGTs were hovering around 1150. The truck didn't downshift at all, which was incredible. If we would have kept going, it would have just overheated and melted down, but there was tons of power.

We slowed it down to 60 from 72mph and things were a lot better. Fuel consumption was brutal though.
