2. I only put about 2500 miles a year MAX on the motorhome and get it serviced once a year although it has been a year and a half since last service.
3. When the temp hit 225-30ish and I hear the beeping sound i'm only at that temp for about 5-10 mins max before the grade levels out and the temp quickly drops.
What is the gear I should be in to climb the Grapevine grade?
Perhaps have one make sure your not low on coolant then if that's the case
HP= High Pressure water hose
4th gear at max and 3rd gear maybe depends on how hard u hit the bottom.I like to hit those climbs at like 75MPH so I can and make it part way before putting a load on my unit and having to shift down
5-10 minutes is nothing
