And I would probably go to 4.56 since I'm running 33's.If you're going across I80 to PA I'm about 1 1/2 hour about of your way. You can hit the same hill we did (called Buffalo Hill) and try it for yourself.

Make sure you get his reaction when the 7.3 loses to the V10.

I have my doubts about how the 7.3L with the stack performed in the test. Both mine and my dad's truck have pulled over 15,000 pounds many times and have never had that much trouble on hills. I LIKED the test you guys did, but think the 7.3L results are suspect. Would be great if someone from the forum did the test with another 7.3L.
Not our truck and trailer, but an example of what we pull (dad does for a living)

Your dad drives a chevy? 
You have to understand the hill we're talking about is steeper than anything I've ever seen in Wisconsin. The truth is that I never saw a hill that steep in Ohio until we did the first comparison in Millersburg. It's roughly 15% at the steepest part of the hill, which is more than twice as steep as the worst highway grade in the US.
This is why my truck had problems with wheelspin, even though we had ~1,200 lbs on the tongue.
