Well we just got back from a great trip, we ended up taking the 14 out of Cedar City to the 148 over to the 143 which took us to Panguitch Lake. It was a very scenic route and we had no issues going up and on the way down was able to lock it in 2nd gear and occasionally use the brakes as we maintained speeds of 30-45. This is by far the steepest grade I have encountered so far as the engine usually holds it back without brakes.
Thanks again for all the advice, when we go again this will be the route we take.
