yep, gear down and make things easier on that big V8 of yours. I found that we can climb most any grade with our little V6 (6V92) when in 2nd Gear and somewhere around 30 MPH. The best part about that is when we get to the summit we are already slow enough to go down. We found this out when coming home from Creede, CO last summer on 9 1/2% Grades and even one short steeper grade.
