Pikes Peak or high elevations

I would like to hear from some of you that live in higher elevations and how your trucks run. Has anybody been to the top of Pikes Peak with a 6.4, How did it run?

I live at just under 6000 feet. Towed my 8000 lb RV over some 9000 + foot passes and everything in between. No problems at all.

I live and work between 8400-11,300 feet and have an 08 personal truck and an 08 work truck. Both run excellent at these elevations with no issues and both are worked extremely hard. Hope this helps...Jeff

I've pulled my 17k fiver over 10,400 passes and spent much of the summer between 7000-9000 with no problems....no difference from sea level that I can tell.
