Steep Grade for Gasser
Just need some advice from you seasoned MH’ers out there. In a few days I will be going over Monteagle in southeastern Tennessee, which has roughly six miles of 6 degree grade on either side. Been over it many times in a car, but never in my 30.2 towing a four door Jeep Wrangler. Ain’t too concerned about going up - it’s the coming down the other side that’s got my attention. I know the RPM’s can get crazy high in tow/haul mode as the transmission tries to slow down the rig. Is this a bad thing (other than for gas mileage of course)? What suggestions can you guys give me to keep the rpms down and to keep from roasting the brakes? Thanks!
P.S. I do have a Stay-N-Play braking system on the Jeep
