7% Grade
In July i went up the Green River Gorge on I-26 in North Carolina it's a 7% Grade. Coming from South Carolina. I was doing 3000 RPM at 40 MPH in the right side truck lane. My truck is a 2002 Dodge Ram...

Hey! I never said anyone had to spin their diesel at 3k rpm, but it does on occasion happen. If anyone can honestly say that their diesel has never seen 3k rpm please let me know. I find it hard to believe any diesel will just loaf along at 2k rpm going up a 7% grade! Unless it were empty!
After going back and rereading it looks as if there is only one person turning this into a gas vs. diesel thread and it's not Hannibal or me!
Enough now back on topic.
