We have a short one on hwy 89 between Wickenburg & Prescott. 6/7% only about 4 miles but with a bunch of 20mph switchbacks. On the brakes, on the fuel, it will work your truck pretty good. My friend tried to pull it in dr with his Dmax and the Allison was hunting the whole way. Temps were over 100* and his trans got up to 260. I had to school him on finding a gear and stay in it. No damage but a close call.
260 from Camp Verde is posted coming down @ 6% but I think it's steeper than that. Sure feels like it.
