Mountain Travel
Is there anything really big to be concerned about with mountain travel?
I know some things dont operate as well upstairs, and was just curious about my traveling through the mountains if it would be a concern for me with the OBS powerstroke.
i know it has a mechanical fuel pump, so that might not be a big deal.

nothing really, i mean watch your EGT's if you are pulling heavy and use your engine to help with braking. also if you are going to be turning and making those curves i would double check my sway bars and top off your power steering fluid.

Really? hmm...
Ya, i regularly cross the cisco grove summit in my truck (9500 ish) and you'll get a bit of smoke, but it runs just the same. (unlike me... i cant run at that elevation).
