NMB2's F350 in action...

[NMB2]

overall its a 5% grade, the steepest part of it, about halfway up, you should be able to notice it in the video, is 6%.

When you see my brake lights (or light I should say, just noticed the driver side was out lol) is at the crest of the hill, where all the slow people tend to congregate and congest all of the lanes.

nice, hill is a pretty good pull, be fun to get a dozen trucks on it sometime and just mow over the idiots.
Drove it every week from Steilacoom to Portland.

I think what you meant to post was this one. Almost 100mph ******* 22 psi of boost. OMG!

Mine seems to top out at 70 MPH on a 10% grade but my F250 might be lighter so its hard to compare (about 6200lbs with a full load of fuel). 5-6% doesn't seem all that steep to me though. I drive a few similar hills to that one on my semi - weekly drive. I know what you mean about congregating near the top though. Really frustrating when I get the beast blasting on a good stride and some slow poke gets in the way near the top (usually they jump into the hammer lane to get around a crawling semi, and under estimate the speed of traffic.

ya, 90-94mph is basically my mechanical max, i could be going downhill and I probably wouldnt get it faster. Pulling this grade with my trailer/rig/gear/full tank, weighing out at 17k (yes I have a weight slip) I can still pull it doing over 80mph....even if I start at the bottom like in the video, just a tad more smoke

I am actually picking up an electric gear venders unit this week hopefully. spliting all the gears on my ZF5 should be really nice, especially with the new motor.
