Gears?
That is what the section is called as I am sure you know. Coming back down is more interesting, I always just used 2nd gear on the C6 and only used the brakes a couple of times. My brother in law almost cooked the brakes on his diesel pusher motorhome as it didn't have an exhaust brake. BTW, there was a guy with a Chevy dualie, 454 engine, 4:10 gear and an identical trailer to mine. He asked what sppeed I had coming up that long hill, when I told him he said he only could get 22 mph in low.
Yea i am now thinking of sticking with my 4:11 thx for the help it just dose not seem worth my money to get new gears just keep my foot out of the gas pedal an i should be good i know a 460 was never mad for good mpg i knew what i was geting in to when i bought it. I was just thinking of was to get little better mpg. I know off topic but would a Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulators work for little better mpg an what psi should i set it at?
FWIW I have a 96 F250 excab with a 460 and 4.10's. A couple of years ago I bought a 97 crew cab with 460 & 3.55's. It ran fine just driving around town, but as soon as I hooked up my Jeep and tried to tow it, it was like someone threw an anchor out the back! Nite and day difference vs. the truck with 4.10's.

The only magic bullet here is your right foot, and it's already paid for, and fully adjustable with no tools.
