My previous truck had the big cummins and did the same thing. It was a bad sensor.

You are from New Zealand, arn't you? What kind of "west" is that? What makes you any better? Did you ever change a clutch on a road, when it's -30? I could ask some more..but don't bother to answer! That was a rhetorical questions...if you know what that means.

I will provide you some tips that could help you drive through the uphill roads faster, safer, and more efficiently. Trucks differ in terms of engine power and features. Make sure that you have as less weight as possible. If you have to back up to gain speed before hitting that steep uphill section and you have a lot of passengers, they could step out of the vehicle first so that there is less stress to the engine when going up. Turn off electrical gadgets such as radios, air-conditioning unit, televisions, lights, etc as this will prevent your car from dying out.

First of all, watch your language kid! Second, it's not my fault that you didn't know how to shift w/o using a clutch. And last, but not list, try Cross Bronx or Chicago, and if that's not enough, i could show you a lot of back roads in US, that will make your corners look like a walk in a park. And what does your remark has to do with my post?

Well, it's never good to talk about something you have no idea about. I've sold my previous truck with 962,000 miles original clutch and tranny, my current truck has 877,000 miles, so far so good. And FYI i'm not driving coast to coast, i do a lot of mountains, back roads, and very congested city driving. Not that i want to change your mind, just for the truth sake.
