If you are saying a gasser tends to overheat climbing hills and cannot control speed on the decent.... I completely disagree.
I with time2roll there are no absolutes.
A diesel can overheat and cause worry going up the mountain.
Going down an exhaust brake is better but you can down shift your way down with a gasser. A gasser does not have to be a runaway train
