Another reason/example. My brother has a 04.5 CTD, 4x4, auto, quad and the heaviest thing he has ever pulled is his 21 foot Bass boat. We have a long steep grade in my neck of the woods (Cuesta Grade). It's a good 6-7% pull and in one place it pushing 8%. When he starts the pull he kicks off the overdrive cause of trans temp and the overdrive ratio. I took a small backhoe (8k+) up the same grade Friday and pulled @ 65+ in 6th gear. It was 80deg. @ the bottom and by the time I got to the top it was pushing 90. The engine temp got up to 210, thermostat opened and she sat there the hole trip up the hill, no fan. She purrrrred right along @ 2000rpm. My shop forman was following me and he couldn't believe how well the truck pulled the load/grade. I got a story about the return trip today, That's for another time.
Tye
P.S. I had the A/C going as well.
