US 16 down grade is tough on brakes. It is one where a gas rig should stop at the top and get into a low gear. I would suggest disconnecting the toad and have navigator drive it down the to the bottom. This will reduce load on the brakes.
Make sure the rig has very little water in the holding tanks to reduce the strain on the brakes.
We have done it and couple times but need to be aware of the grade.
If in doubt, don't!
Come you may consider coming up US 20 to Cody or US 26 into Jackson. US 26 also has a down grade but not as bad as US 16.
