do you think that your rear axle ratio has much to do with its uphill performance?
Thanks!

yes, for sure. But the better breathing (Banks +AFE) probably helps more, since that's what makes the horsepower. Where the deeper gears really help is launching from a stop with the trailer, especially on steep hills. There's some hills I've been on that probably would have stalled me out if I had taller gears. The 4R100 just isn't geared all that well. If I end up going with a new van, it'll be mostly because they are now putting the 6-Speed TorqueShift in the E-series.
