Last fall I encountered Lookout Mountain on my way from Nashville to Atlanta. If I remember it was a 6% downhill grade for 4 miles. I downshifted to 2nd gear to enable me to stay at 55mph with little or no breaking.My 6.2 gasser was reving at 5,000 Rpm. The red line is 6,000 rpm. I'm hoping not to encounter that steep a grade on I 75.
