So 3rd gear in a 10 6th in a 13 on 7%? Just curious.

So what gear would be best for an 8% grade with 48K on the wagon and you have 6 on 4 tranny?.....

Depends on how strong your jake is. For my kw I had grossing 80k and a nine speed I would have used 6th around 25 mph
On 6 or 7% I used 7th at 35 to 40 mph -
