Jerem0621- hearing the engine turn up those rpm's scares me some- should it? By the way, what kind of grades will I face in the Rockies , mainly Passes, 7-9%?
The RPM's should not scare you at all and you should get use to them after a while. Soon that will be the sound of your motor working.
The modular V8 will sing at 4500-5000 RPM's all day long. V10 and 5.4 trucks do the exact same thing. The truck was designed for this. It's just different because unloaded the RPM's do not have to be sustained for that long.
Thanks!
