I have to thank you guys for getting me straight on the engine brake. It did a great job on the hills. I see it get to 2nd gear and 3500rpms at one point and held it back and maintained 3000rpms to hold the speed. I was very impressed. Pulling up the mtns was no task for the truck. Awesome power and truck.
I checked and got 10.2 mpg coming up.
Will see when I head back what it gets.
thanks again!

Where in The Smoky's? I go there to ride 1-2 times a year and my camping group has a rally in Cherokee next year. Told my wife we could go but I am not taking the trailer and GMC through those mountains again.

(that means that we now have a 2011 DRW on order

)

Will do that would be fun. my
dog is also a master hunter. I love to hunt over a polished gun dog. I do want to head down to
Georgia for some quail one day also, but Texas could work as
well. Up here in Jeresy our
native quail are long gone. But the state stocks some nice land. There are about 50,000 acres close to my house that is stocked state land. We do have a great woodcock season.
