I promise this is my last question....altitudes along I-90

[PennyPA]

I know I'm being a pest here but you guys have given me such helpful information in an area of the country that is completely new to us so this will be my last question...I hope. Once we get into Washington, we're planning on taking I-90 east to the midwest since we've not been in the states it transverses yet. However, between us and the midwest, are the Rocky Mountains and I'm very concerned with altitudes (I'm so afraid my truck just won't pull that fiver up those hills!) What altitudes will I be looking at?

Your question was 'what altitudes will I be looking at?'

You must be looking for more help than that.

Jeep, I have a 2001 Dodge 3500 with a 4:10 rear. Towing about 12500 lbs. Automatic. Already has an exhaust brake. Going through there in July/August. I'm also concerned because I need O2 at altitude.

Also, read the wiki link and didn't really learn much there except there are higher altitudes along other routes.

You will not have any issues getting over the mountains with your rig. Just enjoy it and have fun!

Your signature doesn't mention what year Dodge diesel you own. I also have no clue what kind of weight your towing with what tranny? Altitude doesn't mean as much to a diesel engine. Gas engines are severely affected by altitude. What time of year? If not Summer, by good chains ahead of time. If an option get an exhaust brake.

A must-have for mountain drivers is this....Mountain directory books

Well worth the price.
