...There was a grade about an hour before getting to Capitol Reef, that had the tranny temp see its highest! 232 degrees for about 10 minutes. I figure it was about a 10% grade and it was 95d outside (Just found a photo, it was 10%). The truck had no problem at all, except I was getting concerned about that tranny gauge. That was the only moment of the trip that was over 210d. 210d seemed where it would settle for typical 6%.
This was a roadside pull off on top of the mountain that got the temps up. Anyone recognize it?

That looks like the view from the top of Boulder Mountain on UT-12. We had to stop at the same place in 2011 to let our rig cool down - not that long of a grade, but really builds up some heat.
This is the view we had in 2011:
Looks like a great trip. Keep the photos coming!
