WOW, descending a mountain, city traffic, climbing 6%...A good case for preventive maintenance.... ..
Ive been stalled twice in bad city traffic....once in Reno NV, and the other in San Antonio,Tx.....both times things I could not for see....in tank fuel pump, and leaking exhaust manifolds burning up my plug wires.....
I take maintenance seriously.........
All it takes for this to happen is for the serpentine belt to fail. Fortunately I have a Workhorse chassis so my electric brakes kicks in and I have full braking capacity. The steering does get tough and naturally you lose your engine cooling so you do want to pull over soon. My advice is to use a good belt brand, like Gates, and forget about trying to save a few bucks on your belt.
