You're worried about a blinken freeway overpass!?!?!?!?! seriously!?!?!?!?!
Don't believe that is what I said, Marty. :)
What I said was that I would use one of the many stack interchanges in Houston as a test to see how much strain was involved before deciding on the rear end swap. I am disinclined to go all the way to the Rockies before making a similar determination, :)

....Freeway/interstates are limited to 8% grades. Now if you drive around in downtown Seattle or some of the local burbs, I have found roads in the 20% range. NOW you are talking a serious steep grade. Been stalled out on one or two of them also. Does not matter that they are only a block long. If you do not have the overall low gearing to multiply the torque of the motor etc, your screwed.
Thus making my point about the in-town test before modifying the truck. :)
