I was about 75,000lbs and it slowed all the way down to 1st low gear and was driving less than 4mph. Don't know how you guys do it but that's too much of a safety issue for me out here. Boosted up to 20 and held it at about 20mph. Even that was sketchy.

Maybe get a pyrometer and drive by that. Boost is highly subjective to tuning in the truck. Also pyro is subjective to tuning. More airflow equals lower temps in exhaust. Your gonna have to use that pyro to find a baseline temp at pulling the hills your normal way then start backing off and find a temp that works for you that’s reasonable. Then drive by that temp. Even on slight hills. Might not get up to the hipper miler club but it will help your bottom line significantly.
