Well, she made it up just fine. Wasn't pretty but made it. Ended up in 4 low for the last climb. Trans didn't get above 180. Transfer case didn't explode. Not bad for a 26 year old truck. Climbing some of the hills in 2H in first required a lot of pedal. Pretty rough road with lots of curves so no way to get up to speed and hold momentum. 4.10 rear would've been nice today.

Dont be afraid to hold it in a lower gear and run it up to 3000 rpm. Wont hurt anything. Redline is 3300 but guys go higher than that with upgraded valve springs.
180 trans temp is nothing. I would have expected alot higher than that going slow.
