Up Hill Battle & Wheelies

[riceburner_imp]

Use the gears to keep the rpm's in the powerband,that's what the transmission is for.If the grade is steep enough the mph might be slower than desired,but the engine will pull.That's why you see slow tractor trailers on long steep grades pulling 80,000 lbs with only 300 or 350 horsepower.Once went up I80east out of Salt Lake City with a 300 Cummins and 80,000 lbs at 11 mph,took almost an hour to hit the top,got passed by a UPS truck,it was embarrassing.
