Towing through Eisenhower Tunnel
Just wondering if anyone has towed over the Straight Creek Pass through the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70. I will be going there this coming week. The pull going up the east side is about 12 miles of 5%...

Our engine shut down halfway up. It happened a few times out west. Many tests done, but ultimately attributed to "vapor lock" It was a very hot day in July (95 in Denver). We are from the east coast. Are Colorado vehicles tuned differently? I don't think we were overloaded. We had a 6400 towing capacity with a 3500 lb pop-up. Anyone else ever had vapor lock?
I have towed hotter, steeper, heavier load without issue.
