We did west side in late Aug 2017. Nice drive.
Jim & Mary's RV in Missoula lived up to all the great reviews.
As far as US-2 EAST from Glacier - Marias Pass is the easiest grade across the Montana Mountains according to the railroads.
The grade from Butte over the Continental Divide on I-90 east bound was steep, but not horrible. Better than I-70 from Green River, UT to the top of Capitol Reef.
Outside of Butte, I did slow to about 45 on the upgrade, but I was far from the slowest vehicle climbing that grade at the time.
