very well actually only had one time where it was an oh crap moment... I was coming through the very very small town of Clear Spring MD when in the middle of town an idiot in an explorer pulling a small trailer decided to make a u-turn at the intersection which is a pretty decently steep part of town so not only did i have to wait for him to un-fubar himself and the trailer out of the street i had to drop her in 4x4 low range to make sure i would not have any problem starting off on the incline. Other than that about a good 30 mile trip without a bit of trouble EGTs never got above about 1050* maybe 1100* once but all other temps and pressures stayed right in check as well

wow David.that's some serious combined gross,like stated w/4.10's & 37's putting her actual gearing back upwards of 3.55's.
just take 'er easy starting out to keep the drive shaft from twisting up like a pretzel lol.
wise man dropping her down into low range starting out on a steep hill.
if you double or triple up your overloads,she'll maintain her steering much better for ya.
nice looking combo.
