I finally put my 5.9L Cummins 300hp w/5 speed Alison combo to the test this past week and was rather impressed.
Drove Hwy 65 N in Arkansas from I-40 to Harrison, AR & back ~105 miles one way. Pretty country and some steeeeep long hills pulling my 3200 lb cargo trailer with 2 Harley's & a golf cart.
Even caught the only light in a small town at the base of one hill. Didn't break any speed records, but eventually sped up to 43 mph by the time I got to the top. Never once overheated or let me down. I was stressing out at first knowing I was starting this steep long climb from a dead stop. :).
Actually drove much better than I expected.
